Hello friends! I've been noticing a few more leaves coming down from the trees in the last few days. We don't have much in the line of fall color right now, but those leaves keep trickling down. So, I thought I should make a card to showcase that idea. This card uses the Caring Leaves stamp set. I really like the carefree loose look of the leaves in this set - so artistic to my thinking. Just pair the leaves with a leafy background designer paper print and it's all set for this time of year.

Thoughtful Journey Cards X 4
Hello my friends! What a beautiful fall day we have today. But I can still hear the chain saws outside cutting down trees that came down during Hurricane Helene. Just drove up our block and counted eight homes that had trees down. Thankfully most of them didn't land on the houses, just in the yards. But that's still a lot. Concerning trees, I like the looks of bare trees in the winter - the silhouettes against the sky. So that was the starting point on the cards, but I branched out from there. Let's look at the different cards made with the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

Cards with a Guest Creator
Hey people! Glad you stopped by. With all the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we were without power for six days. I was worried about getting the cards for the shut-ins at church made in a timely manner. While talking to my sister bemoaning the fact I was having trouble seeing to create the cards in the semi-dark, she offered to design and cut cardstock for two sets of six cards for me. (I already had some ready to go so that was all I needed to have enough cards.) The cards she made really turned out lovely and I wanted to share these with you. Thank you, Connie!! You are an absolute lifesaver.

Hot Cocoa for Autumn
Hello Friends! It's good to be back home again. Wonderful visit catching up with family, but it's good to be home. On the last post I made I said I had more cards made with the More Than Autumn Bundle that I wanted to share. So that's what I have for you today. Don't worry, I will move on to other stamp sets, but right now I've been having fun creating with this.

Back again!
Did you miss me? This past week we've had no power and no internet because of Hurricane Helene. The week with no power sure makes me appreciate turning on lights when it's dark, hot showers at the end of a rough day, internet access, food, and more. Power came on yesterday and we're rejoicing! We were discussing how blessed we our with all our modern conveniences that we just take for granted. I'm sure ready for Thanksgiving this year with a very long list of things I'm thankful for. But we're not there yet. It's just barely October, so I should stick to cards that are more fall themed. The More Than Autumn Bundle that is used here is an Online Exclusive and just awesome! If you don't have it already, I hope you check it out. Anyway, there are cards sitting here patiently waiting to get posted. So, let's get to it!

Golden Greenery and Bells
Hello friends! I hope you're staying dry if you live anywhere in the path of hurricane "Helene". Oh boy, we've had enough rain for a while, but I don't think it's quitting any time soon. They've even shut down the area schools because of high winds. That just gives me a good reason to stay inside and get a blog post in. Today's card is taking us forward to Christmas again. It's a simple card with just stamps, ink, and paper. I did have to add another layer or two just because I couldn't help myself. Come play with me...

Sophisticated Skates Card
Happy Saturday my friends. Awhile back I had been creating with the Sophisticated Sled Bundle. It seemed everything I made was more on the 'country' side of things. But I've been playing around with it again and I think I've finally got something that is more of an elegant style. Tell me what you think about this latest card.
