Good morning! Today begins a fun new challenge over at A Day for Daisies - "Please Pass the Traditions". Everyone is to make a card using a recipe that is part of your holiday traditions year after year. Well this pumpkin cheesecake recipe has been made faithfully every Thanksgiving for over 20 years in my family - back when David and I were first married to now, only now I make at least 2 to keep up with growing appetites and sons! :) it is soooooooooooooooo good and is looked forward to more than the turkey!
I decided to go with a fun gate fold card format so that the recipe could be tucked inside. This precious new digi from Tammy, 'Playing in the Pumkin Patch'. the image 
on the outside was watercolored; the image on the inside was lightly shaded with chalks. the papers are from Pixie Press, Earth Stripes. They were wrinkled and distressed, sprayed with flower power glimmer mist, and then lightly sponged with vanilla craft to age further. the leaves and pumpkins are from Making Memories and were treated the same. orange lace is some vintage from my stash. the little gliter chipboard pieces add just the right touch of shine and sprakle! buttons were touched with a bit of vanilla craft as well. the recipe card was lightly sprayed with the same flower power glimmer mist, which is actually a pale orange with gold spray. beautiful for fall!

Fabulous Card Jen and the recipe sounds delicous too!
Ginger snaps are one of my favorite cookies, and I would never and have thought of them as being in cheesecake. Now I am craving a cookie with the wonderful ginger taste!! Yummy!!
I love the special treats of the Holiday Seasons and the scent of goodies baking in the oven!

Love how you watercolored around the outside of the image Jennifer! That lace is a wonderful embellishment - just a fabulous card!
That turned out wonderful. Great job!
Adorable Jennifer!!!
