I Love Fall

I know I've said this before, but I will say it again.  I REALLY miss the Autumn season that I grew up with in Minnesota.  I love the changing colors and falling leaves, the cool nights going to football games, and the pumpkin patches, corn mazes and festivities surrounding this season that we just don't really get here in the desert.  I remember a few years back when I spent late October at my best friend's house in Minnesota, and I sat on her back porch just watching the leaves fall.  Of course, she thought I was "going looney" sitting there watching leaves fall slowly from the trees, but for me - it was magical.

 

This is a quick and simple little card I whipped up this morning using Simple Stories stickers.  Pretty easy, huh?  All I really did (other than put the stickers on my Bazzill) was to ink the edges and add a button with some jute.  It literally took me all of about five minutes.

 

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

http://www.redcarpetstudiochallenge.blogspot.com/2012/10/rcs-9-pumpkins-and-halloween.html - Red Carpet Studio Challenge Blog - Challenge #9 - Pumpkins and Halloween.  Since I don't really do Halloween, I stuck with an Autumn theme, and hope that's alright.

 

Thanks for visiting me today.  I just haven't been feeling like crafting lately, and I don't know why.  I've been visiting lots of blogs so that I can get inspired and get a "fire" lit under me to get my craftiness back.  Let's hope it works!

 

Blessings to you all,

Karen
