I love me a fall-ish friday..my shadow is home today...the house is noisy...toys are everywhere...and I LOVE it!
I haven't much time but have some treats for you today. 
A little sparkle makes everything better....I used the new Holiday Button Bits stamp set from Papertrey Ink on this along with Spring Moss and Vintage Cream cardstock, Ripe Avocado ink, and Vintage Cream Buttons....and of course some sweet Melissa Frances paper, Maya Road chipboard, and Martha Stewart Mica flakes.
Ohhh...lookey here...more glitter...
I am crazy about the fun Creative Scraps from Crafty Secrets. The above image is from their new holiday collection...and I am smitten. The paper is from Making Memories and 7Gypsies, ribbon from Papertrey ink, rubon and button also from Making Memories.
I'm off....outta here....have the best Friday ever friends.

Melissa your projects are lovely! You did an amazing job!
Here it is fall too; the weather is getting colder, rain and lots of wind. But the house is warm and we have no big plans for the weekend.....You've inspired me to do lots of card making this weekend! Have a great weekend too!

Lovely cards as always, Melissa! I simply love the sugar-coated sweetness of both projects. I must give the mica flakes a try...I've been hoarding a jar of it for over a year! LOL!
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
Hugs,
Christine
