AWWWW.........FALL......IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

And I am so ready for it...I am a Fall kind of girl....Today I want to share with you a set of cards that I made just for myself to give to others of course...I used two new awesome sets from The Cutting Cafe....COLORED LEAVES SET and WELCOME FALL.....I am sure both will be a favorite of mine for a long time....I wanted these cards to be super quick and easy....SEE VIDEO BELOW....Here's a few things I did in making these cards.......basically I just printed out 4 different leave backgrounds...there are 6 different colored leaves in the set....I found some paper to match each of the colored background sheets and then just folded some Kraft card bases at about 4.5 by 4 inches...using the ENVELOPE templates I made some matching Kraft envelopes.I did also cut out a leaf out of each color and embossed it then pop them up on each card...adding a little ribbon....The sentiments come from the WELCOME FALL set...this set is fully of FALL/AUTUMN stuff.....I am going to set these on my desk and send out one card weekly....

THANKS FOR STICKING YOUR NECK OUT FOR ME................

When Melissa from the BBTB2 had issued this week challenge to use the FLAMINGO from the LIFE'S A BEACH cricut cartridge...I knew right away what sentiment I wanted to put on my card and I knew I wanted it to be a circular card with scallops....I tied the FLAMINGO with a new set of SCALLOP CIRCLE shape cards from THE CUTTING CAFE as well as I used the HUGE THANK YOU WORD CIRCLE.....There was one catch to the challenge though...the FLAMINGO couldn't be all pink....so I thought this plaid Making Memories paper was perfect...
Be sure to check out what the other ladies did....I tell ya those ladies rock....they are so FABULOUS....hugs

THANKS FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES....
