Autumn Birthday Redux ~ ColourQ #215; STB

Hi, Wonderful Whooshers!  TGIF!

I have to start today by clarifying my last post about being crowned.  I seemed to have confuzzled some of you.  I was talking about going to the dentist and having one of my teeth crowned.  The drug I mentioned was the Novocain shot I was given to numb the tooth area.  I was just having a little fun with a very unfun event!

 

But yesterday there were only fun events happening here.  Included was a lovely lunch with the ladies where we talked about the vagaries of our husbands.  Isn't 'vagaries' a great word?  It means:

 

1.

an unexpected and inexplicable change in a situation or in someone's behavior, "the vagaries of the weather"

 

synonyms:

change, fluctuation, variation, quirk, peculiarity, oddity, eccentricity, unpredictability, caprice, foible, whim, whimsy

 

I love the word, but I rarely remember to use it.  If husbands aren't quirky, I don't know who is.  I've been known to use less quaint words to describe my Mister.  Cough.

I'm still switching between autumn and Christmas cards and today I am back with two more autumnal birthday cards.  One is for our favorite son, whose birthday is Sunday, and one is for one of my besties, Nancy, whose birthday is also Sunday.

My first card is very similar to a card I made a few weeks back.  Here is the outside:

And here is the inside:

For my second card, I used the great fall/autumn colors of the current challenge at ColourQ:

And I'll enter it in the current Seize the Birthday "with texture" challenge.

I sure hope you get a chance to join in these fun challenges!  The links provided will give you all the fine print and the generous prize and sponsor details.

My card:

I hope you can see that cool wood grain frame impression plate from Lil' Inkers.  The leaves were from the Dollar store.  I added some drops of Dimensional Magic.

Today I am delighted to have you meet our newest friend, Kathleen of Plain & Simple.  Kath has been blogging her cards for a couple of years.  She has great style and a whole lotta humor shows in her card art.  I know you'll enjoy going to meet her and seeing her wonderful creations!  Welcome, Kath, and thank you for joining the party!

 

The fun photo is of an onion from her garden in the shape of a bird!  Ah, the vagaries of onions!
