Checkerboard meets the Jungle!

First a quick shout out to my special friend, Chat Dump Girl, who is feeling quite puny today. Hope you feel better very soon, my friend!!!

Gosh, the days are flying by! It's day 179 already at 365 Cards, and the challenge today was to use a checkerboard pattern on our cards. This is one thing that I love about these challenges...I am 'challenged' (imagine that!) to do something that I would never get up this morning and decide to do on my own!

I used Copper embossing powder, and a retired TAC square stamp, and heat embossed a pretty fall background in checkerboard fashion (don't look too closely at my crooked squares!). Decided that I should keep this simple, so just added some fall leaves and a couple of inches of fallish colored ribbon.

Hope you enjoy it!

Next up is a card that I did for Janet's Corrosive Challenge. The theme this week is "Jungle Theme"... this little TAC Lion is just too cute NOT to use! Don't you just love his sweet little face? Come on, peeps, be honest!!! And look at this fabulous leaf trim - It came from The Cat's Pajama's, and I am crazy about it! The other 'bordering' on the card is just a piece of the new DCWV Animal Crackers Matstack. (DCWV-Another thing I just can't do without!!!)

Well, I am supposed to be working on monthly reports, so I guess, perhaps I should get to them!!! Have a great evening, and I'll try to get around to your blogs and see what you are up to before I turn in tonight!!!
