Leaf it out!

Hello bloggists, and thank you for joining me today.  

Looking out of my window today, most of the trees that line the road opposite have lost their leaves - there are only a few left clinging to the branches.  It's much colder today as well - we don't get extremes of hot or cold weather and because I live on the coast it's really quite mild by many people's standards, but for us it's cold - but sunny.

This is the view from my living room window as I'm writing this (and yes, I do realise how lucky I am to be living here!)

Not many leaves left at all!  Before they were all gone, and winter begins to take hold, I wanted to make one card with the Vintage Leaves stamps.  So I did!

I hope you enjoyed this one and thank you for stopping by.

My next blog post will be on Sunday, 4 December (not Saturday) because I'm taking part in a rather special blog hop - so please do come and see what we've all been up to, won't you?

Bye for now,

Crafty Hugs,

Vintage Leaves Card

Hello bloggists,  and welcome to my blog.

Well, the weather here has been unusually fine lately.  I know I shouldn't be surprised - it is summer after all- but the past few years we've had a series of not-very-good summers.  So why does this card have a rather autumnal feel?  I can't tell you.  It just happened.

This card is very different from the vision I had in my head when I started to make it.  I was inspired by a picture in the new catalogue and decided to CASE.

This was the picture, and it was the card at the bottom I was going to recreate - 

As you can see, there was a radical change of design direction...I'm not really sure why.  I mean, I started out by accidentally cutting my card blank in portrait orientation...and after that I just made it up as I went along!

Here's the tutorial -

As you can see, nothing like the original.

I hope you enjoyed it anyway.

See you soon,

Crafty Hugs,

Keren
