Falling Leaves

Fall has arrived in our neck of the woods. It rained most of the day today and a lot of the leaves fell. I don;t send a huge amount of Halloween cards but sometimes I substitute fall cards instead of Halloween. So this card will probably be sent around Halloween in place of one of those kinds of cards.

The image is from QKR Stampede called Scarecrow and Leaves. I colored it with Spectrum Noir and Copic markers and die cut it with Gina Marie Designs Cross Stitch Rectangles. I popped the image up with foam tape. The background paper is from Basic Grey Indian Summer. I used Stampin' Up! Corner Punch from a scrap in my scrap box and some punched leaves that I've had in my stash for years. The sentiment is from Create with TLC. I used the Tuesday Morning Sketch for inspiration.


I am entering these challenges:
The twins birthday went really well except for one slight glitch. It was an outside party but it rained just as we were serving dinner. So everyone scrambled for the indoors and the party continued; we were just in closer quarters. Here is a picture of Arthur and Valerie enjoying their first taste of (sugar free) birthday cake. I was amazed they weren't more messy.



Just so you know how far they've come, here's a little comparison of where they started being born 5 weeks early.

Arthur
You've come along way baby. Happy 1st Birthday, Valerie and Arthur.Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week!

What a great idea to send fall cards around Halloween! Fall is my favorite time of year but I only send Thanksgiving cards so this is a good reminder to pull out those fall stamps and papers to just send a happy hello. The twins look adorable sampling their cake! I have two granddaughters myself and it's been such a joy to watch them grow.
