Whimsy and Stars

How can it be September first already? I don't know where the summer went.

But, I do have a special little card here today. This cute little guy is from Mabelle RO's Whimsy and Stars Fall collection, which will be released on September 6th. So it's just a little sneak today.

You can head over to the Whimsy and Stars blog and see some more sneaks, fun stuff coming soon! Fall is my favorite time of year and these images will make great Halloween, Thanksgiving or just general Autumn themed cards!

I have to laugh, I made this while waiting for Irene to hit. My dh thought I was nuts, but really how much of the weather channel can you watch. We were well prepared for the worst case scenario  but luckily were spared. We have friends just minutes from us who are still without power and dealing with flooding, so we got lucky this time around. My dh is still shaking his head and saying guess what Kathy did while waiting for the hurricane??!!
