DT: Unscripted Sketches

Hi everyone!  Welcome to another challenge from Unscripted Sketches.  We have a great sketch for you to play with... 
And here's my take on the sketch...
I took an older design paper(double-sided) from my stash to create this card.  There are lots of layers to this card and went with three colors-black, silver, and white.  I added some rhinestone trim and used some embossing folders to give more texture to the card.  The bottom layer came out semi-distressed from my dull blade.  I liked the way it looked, so I distressed around the entire paper.
This card is for our dear friends, celebrating their 3rd year anniversary.  They've asked us to watch their one year old, twin girls{our goddaughters} this weekend...oh boy, it's going to be some weekend!  I love it because I'll be taking tons of pictures of these cuties.   

Supplies~
stamp set: teeny tiny wishes{SU}
tools: layered doily medium die{Taylored Expressions}; standard circles{Spellbinders}; formal circles & swiss dots embossing folders{Cuttlebug}

DT: Card Cupids~Happy Autumn

Hi everyone...Happy October 1st!  I hate that time is flying by so fast.  The holidays are just around the corner and I'm so not ready.  Time to start Christmas gift lists, arrange travel arrangements for Thanksgiving...lots to do!  Yikes!  Ok, I need a break from just thinking about it...I think it's time to go to my craft room now...

Let's start this month with a challenge from Card Cupids...using "black, orange, purple, yellow, green, brown".  You can use one or any combo of these colors, it's up to you.
Here's my card...this image is from The Stamping Boutique.  She's a cutie and thought it went well with this autumn stamp.  I found this ribbon at Target in the dollar bin.  I just love the season....the leaves changing colors, the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg...gosh, I could use a pumpkin spice latte right now! LOL Ü 
Supplies~
paper: Autumn Cardstock Paper{Recollection}
image/stamp: Audrey the Pilgrim{The Stamping Boutique}; Happy Autumn{Paper Inspirations}
