I haven't made a card in several days because I've been organizing my embossing folders and just lazing around. I was in the mood to get a card made today so I got out my new scarecrow die.
The challenge at Joan's Gardens this week is:
Use ginghams, checks, or plaids
Butterflies
Something Fallish..pumpkins, scarecrows, leaves, etc.
Use a product from Joan's Gardens-Mine is the sentiment from Elizabeth Craft Designs/Happy Birthday #717
I used a bit of Tim Holtz Distress Ink/Walnut Stain on my raffia.
The Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes
Another fun challenge I'm joining in with my card is Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground #87 Of course, I have snippets. See that butterfly....a snippet...also the sentiment.
I'm joining the Seize the Birthday challenge with this card. My first time there but sure it won't be my last for this fun challenge.
Hope I get back to the craft table in a day or two...we'll see.

What a great scarecrow! I love the bundle of raffia! I still remember your wonderful pumpkin card from last year and plan to try to do that for our Papercrafting get together in October.
Cute card!!! Your scarecrow is adorable. Great job!

Cool scarecrow, have you been shopping again, bad girl! Noticed your card next door to mine at the Simon Says challenge :)
I so desperately need to sort my stash out (yes again!) but several days to organise your embossing folders?? .... I wanna come play with your stash!!
EEyow - this has got to be the cutest scarecrow ever!! I love that smile, the altered raffia that looks exactly like straw, and the great fall theme of this great birthday card! L.O.V.E.
Totally brilliant card Benzi! Such a cute scarecrow and the raffia is a perfect touch. Great to see you came back to the Playground to play :)
Hugs, Di xx
What a delightful die, and I love how you have used him here. Such a cheery little face he has, and I like gingham & distressed raffia. And you KNOW I love those Elizabeth Craft dies..this one is probably my favorite & most used! Great card, and you're doing what I should do...organize the EF's. Got 'em everywhere...and then can never find the exact one that I think I have! Cropstop has a good 1/2 price sale going on right now on Craft Coutour EF's.
Very nice card - love the scarecrow - great job as always tfs!!!
He is sooooo cute!! Great card :)
Something new to play with? I love your scarecrow he is cute. I love fall cards.
I was so busy admiring your scarcrow that I missed seing the butterfly until you said!!! hugs Mrs A.
Great Fall card Benz! Super fun die, love that you distressed the Raffia, and the plaid is perfect. You rocked the challenges with this great card. I wish I was motivated to organize my stuff! Football is almost here - Roll Tide! Hugz!
Love this, Benzi! What a fab fall card. Terrific die set, too. I'll have to look into that one -- I just love scarecrows. Almost as much as snowmen. :-D
