It Won't Be Long Now...

Hi, Everyone!
Well, it won't be long now until fall arrives.  You can feel it in the air every day.  There is just that subtle change in the way the sun shines and it is a little bit cooler in the mornings....and a tiny bit darker. And of course, the biggest give away of all, the massive devil tree in my neighbor's parking has been dropping tons of seeds, leaves, and garbage which fill my yard & sidewalk!  I don't normally wish for trees to die, but I would sing & dance for days if this one did! I have no trees in my front yard and yet all of the leaves from their tree bury my yard starting about August and go on until October.  So today I have a "fall" card to share.

This is another cute digi from Sassy Cheryl. I mounted it on one of my new Joy Craft Square dies and cut some tiny fall leaves with an Impression Obsession die. I used my Martha Stewart score pal to add some raised lines around the edges of the card, but they are a bit hard to see in the photo. Unlike my amazing grandson who just ribboned in 3 of the 5 photos he submitted to the state fair, my photography leaves a lot to be desired!  And when I say amazing, I truly mean it! He just completed the requirements for Eagle Scout as well.  I don't suppose you can tell that I love him to pieces can you?  lol  

I was going to work on cards this afternoon, but I think I had better spend some time cleaning up the mess I made with this one first!  

Have a great week! Catch you later.

  2. Stunning, cute, and colorful! You make me want to color a fall card! The image is darling and -- WOW -- those dies! I want to shop where you shop. You know, they never have these all in one place and the shipping charges... well, you know. Do you buy them online and, if so, where? Would love to know!
