Marcy, over on Splitcoaststampers posted a challenge CSSC87 in the Crafty Secrets forum. She has noticed that:
“the leaves on the trees are slowly starting to change. There's a chill in the foggy morning mist. Pumpkins are showing up in the farmer's markets, and there are mums decorating the porches. Everywhere you look, the signs of fall are beginning to appear.”
So this week we are celebrating fall! we were to give our project an autumnal feel. Be inspired by the colors of the season - rich gold's, reds, and oranges. Make a themed project - think back to school, Halloween, or Thanksgiving. Maybe you have a fall birthday or anniversary to celebrate. Show us what makes you fall for fall!
My card is 6 x 6 in size, and full of my favorite colors, that’s why I look forward to Fall each year. I sponged my leaves, and used the Gold Dabber on the Grunbeboard, and Pendant Shapeabilities template. See supply list below.
Thanks for visiting.
Linda ;)

Such a beautiful Fall card. The Maple leaves are perfect as is the rest of the card.
Living in Australia is so different this time of the year. We are having spring. A time of new beginnings. Fall in America must be so beautiful with all the beautiful coloured leaves falling from the trees.
