CDAC progressive fun & FALL Decorating

HAPPY Friday to you all!  

I don't know about where you live, but here in N.E. Ohio it is a GORGEOUS FALL DAY!!!   This morning was very cool & crisp and this afternoon is bright & sunny!  Makes one take a deep breathe and appreciate all the goodness God has given!!

Anyways, today I'd like to share with you creations using THREE of the FIVE images being offered in Round #4 of the Progressive Challenge over at CDAC.  Feel free to click on any image to enlarge.

 First is an adorable Frankenstein type digi image f
rom Bonibleaux Designs. I have used Cloud9 Designs
designer paper and Prismacolor Markers.

 

 LOVE this devilish 'lady' from Teri at Delicious Doodles.

Here I have used Prismacolor markers for my coloring and have added bat & ant stickers as embellishments.  The ribbon is from Michaels and a scrap of Cloud9 Designs dp for the bottom panel.

 

This cute little guy is from Sew Many Cards and I have used the same elements for my creation as I used in the first two.  Spellbinders classic & scallop ovals were used for matting of this cutie pie!!

I still have a couple more images to use for this challenge.  They are already colored and ready to go ... here's hoping I find the time to turn them into cards!

The reason I didn't get all five of my cards created for the above challenge is that I was in the mood to do some Fall Decorating and surprise hubby when he comes home from his business trip tonight.  I haven't decorated for fall in several years.  After hubby's cancer diagnosis and going through all the treatments & stem cell transplant ... decorating was NOT a priority.  BUT ... now that he's been cancer free for 2-1/2 years... HOORAY! ... it's time once again to have fun and decorate our beautiful home.

Here's a full view of the kitchen coming in from the livingroom as well as a couple closeups. 
Remember, you can click on any image to enlarge it for an even closer look.

Here's what you see when you come through the front door!

Of course, there's going to be decorating done on the outside also ... once the landscapers are finished with our landscaping REDO which is going on RIGHT NOW!!!  (I'll be sharing that with you on another posting).

And here is one of my favorite table settings in the livingroom.  

Showcasing some of my favorite photos of the Grand Kids!!

Okay ... I guess I have kept you long enough!  LOL!!  Thanks so much for stopping by and please be sure to pop over and check out ALL the fun going on at CDAC!

Hugs,
