Leaves Everywhere!

Guys, I think I need an intervention.  I can't stop making fall leaf cards.


On second thought, let's skip the intervention.  I'm having too much fun.  : )  And fall leaf cards never hurt anyone...except I guess if you got a papercut.  That might hurt.  I might be addicted to the Candy Dots too, I love having those in so many colors.

So, I sat down last night to make one card but for some reason I stamped out two leaves and I figured that I had enough patterned paper scraps on my table to make a second card so why not?  I used the latest challenge at As You See It, I think I'm gonna have fun with their challenges.


Just realized that I forgot to do a scalloped edge on that one bit...okay so it's a bit of a liberal interpretation of the sketch, but I was in the Zone last night.  Once I got started making the cards I didn't even look at the sketch again I think.

The colors are from Dynamic Duos, with the addition of Chocolate Chip:


And just for funsies I'm also going to enter this one at the new Around the World challenge site to make a fall card (or two, if you're me).


I also really like their inspiration pic there.  The one for spring is really cute too (hit the link above to visit their site), that dog is totes adorbs.

When did I start saying "totes adorbs"?

Anyway, I'm off to drink enough caffeine to take over the world, starting with taking my "totes adorbs" doglets for a walk.  Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Gently Falling, Four You
Ink:  So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip
Paper:  Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, retired Calypso Coral DSP & Parisian Summer DSP (I think that's what the Saffron plaid is from, I found it in my scrap pile and I love plaid)
Accessories:  corner rounder punch, Subtles Candy Dots, Dimensionals
