I had a vision based  on a matted scrapbook type layout my children had made me using a variety of the paper we had and ribbon I had not used.  I wanted to incorporate the fall sayings.  I especially like the fall leaves border.

I had a new flower embossing folder that I really wanted to use.

 I thought this looked perfect without even coloring it.

Embossing folders are my new favorite tool!  The birds look great in the tree!

After I made the pattern for my sorry you’re sick card – I found the fox – doesn’t he look sad and sorry someone is sick?  So I had to make another card!

I love how this card came together – reminds me of harvesting time in the fall!

I wanted to make sure I used some of the pictures from the paper in the Welcome gift.  I love the colors on this card and how they blend with the trees!
