Leaves are falling

Honestly, after the wind and rain last night I am surprised to see any leaves left on our trees! We had 45 mile per hour winds. I knew I would not be able to go to sleep with the constant roar of the wind so I took advantage of the situation and made a couple of cards.
I am finding lots of inspiration in card challenges that I am finding on-line. I also love to see what others are creating.
This sketch was yesterday's challenge on the Clean & Simple Stamping blog.

After coloring the images I used some Stickles, I really wish the camera would capture the sparkle and shine! This card came together sooo fast thanks to the coordinating dies! I LOVE dies!! Dies mean I don't have to fussy cut!!

The Mayflower ll

A couple of years ago hubby had a committee meeting in Massachusetts and one of the things he saw was the Mayflower ll. (The brown box on the right is for his journaling.) I like clean and simple layouts mixed in with my more fancy, schmancy ones. I used 2 border punches and 2 die cuts, Versamark ink and clear stamps and a tiny bit of bling on my layout. The paper is from the Little Yellow Bicycle’s “Saturday’s” collection, love the Americana papers!
