Leaves of Fall

I am counting my blessing on these leafs while I am away from my stamping studio. The leaves are sizzix die cut, stamped on and cuttlebug embossed and are attached by the stems only so that they can be moved about to read all those uplifting and encouraging words. Word stamps from PSX, Stampendous, etc. Underlying frame stamped with Too Much Fun Leaf background stamp. Simple but fun to receive yes?

Leafs on a String

I've been in the "laundry room" (aka, the studio") all afternoon. And, I actually got some laundry done while having some fun with the Penny Black Challenge No. 69: "Autumn Breezes."

Autumn breezes put leafs in the air -- and in this case, the Penny Black image "Birthday of Colors" has put leafs flying high on a string that used to contain balloons. Go take a look at what the Design Team has created for your enjoyment and join in the fun -- there is a great prize for someone lucky like you. (This was photographed as the sun was low in the afternoon -- didn't it give a nice "glow" to the kitty?)

I am indeed delighted that Heather at Rica's Haven told me of another great challenge blog -- crafty calendar challenge -- and that the current challenge is Autumn -- so, here is my very first ever -- two challenges in one (card)! This challenge blog is another great spot to see a fantastic design team at work.
