For my part, I created a fun little folding card using a video tutorial I stumbled on by Kristina Werner . Lots of measuring and matting but with the Stampin Up set called Recess and Lawn Fawn's Harolds ABCs alphas, it was all worth it. Used a Stampin Up Ribbon Originals for my belly band. Hope you like it! (If you'd like to be in a drawing for a little surprise blog candy, just leave me a comment about what the best part of fall is for you and I'll choose a random comment next Thursday... *smile*)




The full effect:



Your next stop on the hop is Lydia at Understandblue, our illustrious hostess with the most-est!

Oh and please feel free to add my name into your blog candy give-a-way......so generous! The best part of fall to me is, the weather, those clear beautiful blue skies, the warmth of the sun, and the gently blowing breezes, cooler temps and less humidity, who doesn't love all of that? Happy Fall! Have a wonderful day!

This is a great card! I love that it is a folding card. I never dare to try something like it. I think the best part of Fall is the cooler temps. Summer is always blisteringly hot here in Mississippi. So I look forward to cooler temps when Fall comes.

Such a great layered card all wrapped up in a sweet ribbon! I love the leaves of fall, so much colour before the snow comes and all is white.

Michelle Crandall said...

This is a great card, it's very cute. I think my kids would agree with the sentiment! My fav part of Fall is the cool, crisp air.

Lisa - papergrace said...

What an adorable card! So sweet. Love your design and how fun it is. :) So glad that you shared the tutorial, as well. Thanks for that.

The best part of Fall to me is being able to dress a warmer. Put away the shorts & flip-flops and bring out the boots and sweaters. YAY!! :)

Love your sweet little card! The little images are so adorable.
I love the scents that go with autumn, pickles, leaves, new school supplies, warm soups and stews, sooo many great smells.
