I’d like you to use a FRAME or FRAMES on your card. You can use any type of frame you so wish. How about a die cut frame or a hand cut frame. You can frame your card with brackets or flowers or how about some doodling - the choice is yours.
Hmmm I thought to myself. I am sure I have a frame die somewhere that was going to be "so useful" when I bought it. I was right. And it is lovely so I must use it a bit more - or at least again! It would look good with chipboard and acetate I reckon so if I am a good girl and Father Christmas brings me a Cuttlebug (OK so it is already bought and sitting in its box in the study taunting me) then I can give that a go too!Anyhoo here is my card
I have gone back to the fabuloso Junkitz Celebrationz Paperz (I will overlook the annoying spellingz just this once). I used 4 different ones and some green paper which went through a cuttlebug embossing die and a Sharpie poster paint pen. You will not be surprised to learn that the cake is paper pieced (for that home made cake look!). The frame and cake are mounted on sticky pads. The greeting is on safmat and doodled round. And the whole thing really is that bright!I have loads of cards I need to make so I must finish off these papers as I love 'em for birthday cards.
I have been cracking on with my homework for the MA and feel a tad more in control now! In fact I am looking forward to the seminar on Tuesday. I obviously needed to get the brain cells going.
Now I need to get into the Harvest Vibe for this Sunday.
We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land...
or is it
We buy the food in Tescos and stick it in the car....
whatever - this is still true
All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above.
So thank the Lord, o thank the Lord for all his love

This is such a fab and funky card Lythan!
I'm not sure about the chances of that Cbug staying safely in it's box till Christmas day though - exactly how much willpowwer do you have?
I always loved harvest festival. When I was little all the sunday school children all took decorated baskets of goodies in to the main hall for the harvest festival, which was always beautifully decorated with copious amounts of crepe paper and a few of those specially bkaed huge harvest loaves courtesy of the local baker, it always lovely. We all processed down the aisle with our baskets and the adults at the front would take them from us to add to the display - funny the things you remember
