For my project I've made a fall home decor piece.  I just set the paper on the frame so I wouldn't get the glare from the glass in my photo...LOL!

Recipe:

Sophie Cricut cart - Doily Leaf 1 - cut using the fit-to-pg feature ( I cut this 3 times using orange, gold and red papers)

Lyrical Letters - 'A' @ 1 1/2", 'utumn' @ 1 1/4" using the Loop Dee Loo feature

Pop dots.  I cut the Doily Leaf background 3 times using orange, gold and red papers.  I then just randomly trimmed leaves from the red and gold papers and glued them over the existing orange leaves or used pop dots to add dimension.

MPS Pinkalicious Blog Hop Challenge #2: Black + your favorite color(s)

I used black, pink and white on my card.  I made this card for my future Sister-in-Law.  She recently got some very good news.  In April 2010, she was told she had cervical cancer.  So, after a 9 month battle and lots of radiation and chemo her tests came back clean.  No more cancer!!  YAY!!  I hope she likes this card!  And I hope you like it, too!
