Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
The trees are so pretty these days and I love seeing the leaves
gently falling to the ground.
I'm not too keen on raking but fortunately we have someone who
does that for us these days.
I've really enjoyed this embossing folder. This time I gently sponged color on
the raised portions and added a bird and branch along with a sentiment
that I hope will be encouragement to a friend who has recently had a stroke.
I'm sure that coming back from that is like climbing a mountain.
Challenges:
Can You Handle the Pressure - Use an Embossing Folder (didn't use the option of pumpkins)
I.D.E.A.S. - Use Ink
Just Us Girls #751 - CASEing (CASEd Lisa with the bird & Bobby with the Fall Leaves)
Triple B - Bird
