Fall is around the corner

Hi everyone!

The temps are getting cooler each day and it feels like fall is in the air here in Wisconsin. I've been seeing Halloween and fall cards all over blogland and I've been getting the itch to create for the upcoming season. I created this card using some  felt leaves from Hero Arts I picked up last fall and still had a bunch left over.



I stamped the woodgrain background using Stazon Timber Brown as the cardstock has a metallic sheen to it and all other inks would just slide right off. I used an EK Sucess border punch and some yummy Stampin Up ribbon. The sentiment is from Hero Arts as well. I can't believe I made a rather "clean and simple" card.......that's a stretch for me!
I'm entering this into the Hero Arts monthly challenge for September "everything autumn".


I even made a quick "kid"  Halloween card with some pre-made embellies and Hero Arts stamps.



And another Halloween card using a Penny Black image and Hero Arts background stamp. The fun sentiment is from Rubbernecker Stamps. Sorry abut the poor picture quality- my lighting was terrible that day I took the picture.

I'm looking forward to all the leaves turning colors in my yard, roasting marshmallows around the campfire, hot cocoa, comfy sweaters, and picking apples at the local orchard soon. It's hard to say goodbye to summer.....but this past one has been so darn hot I'm welcoming the cooler fall weather. I even got out some of my fall decorations today and baked up some pumpkin zucchini bread- loving this time of year!!  I"ll be updating my blog header real soon.....must change it up with something cute for fall.

I've still got some great stamps and other tools for sale- just take a peek over in my Flicker photostream.

Thanks for stopping bye everyone and have a great day!

Inky Hugs.........Anne
