23 minute countdown


There are 2 very yummy oatmeal raisin cakes in the oven and I have less than 23 minutes until it is finished.  Hopefully I can get this posted before then.


We have had an interim pastor at our church for a year now.  Sadly he is leaving on Sunday, and my mother requested a card for him.


Inside it says, " Best Wishes, Thanks So Much, and Happy Retirement".  Our church was to be his last calling before he and his wife move to the Poconos and enjoy retirement together.  It will be beautiful there shortly with all the fall leaves.

For this card I've used all Penny Black rubber stamps and cut the leaves and acorns using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.

With minutes left on the over timer,I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Vintage Journey Challenge 15 - Colors of Autumn 
Card Makin Mamas Challenge #89 - Ooh-la-la Vintage or Shabby Chic

oh, no.... there goes the timer....  cake is still jiggly in the middle..... 4 minutes more

Oldie But A Goodie Challenge - Autumn (The stamp set is over 6 months old.)
PaperMinutes Challenge #340 - Colors of Autumn

There goes the timer again.  Guess I'm finished here.  I have a ton of dishes to which I must attend.  (I also made cookies before the cakes.  Although, they look nothing like the ones in the photo above. :>)
