CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #71–Fall Fun!

 

Hello Friends!

Don’t you just love this time of year?!!  Seriously, we’ve had THE most gorgeous Indian Summer here in Western Washington.  I’ve been loving the cool crisp mornings and the uber sunny afternoons – there’s nothing like a sunny day in Seattle, I tell ya!  Well, if you’re like me and love this time of year, you’re going to LOVE this week’s CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, which is to create a CLEAN AND SIMPLE card using a fall theme.

This week’s sponsor is Great Impressions Stamps.   Great Impressions Stamps has provided an uber generous prize for this week’s TGIF Winner, but you’ll have to click on through to the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog to see what it is.  While you’re there, be sure and peruse the other amazing samples that the Girl Fridays have created for your inspiration.  Thanks, Great Impressions Stamps!

I especially love the turning of the leaves this time of year, don’t you?  That was the inspiration for my card.  I stamped three different leaf images in three different colors, and stamped the sentiment in brown.  I then ran the card base through my Cuttlebug using a canvas impression plate.  The pumpkin satin ribbon finished off the fall color palette.

That’s it for me today, kids!  We’re in full Gamma and Gampa mode this week as we’re babysitting our grandsons while our kids vacay at our house in Arizona.  We’re having a blast, so far.  Hoping you have amazing plans for this first official weekend of fall, too.  Thanks so much for stopping by today – I so appreciate it and you!!
