One of my favorite months is almost gone, and I haven't done many cards for fall this month. So I went looking back at my blog for past posts at this time of year. I found one that featured this Quilted Stencil from Simon Says Stamp, and thought I'd use it once again, with fall colors. When it came time to find a sentiment, I chose one from a Hello Bluebird Pumpkin Time set.

Snowy Woodland
Here's a card I made with one of Simon's STAMPtember collaborations - with Gina K. Designs. I love woodland scenes, and there were just too many cute possibilities in this silhouette set that I couldn't let it pass me by. It's taken me awhile to get to play with it, but here's my first card using just a few of the elements.
At my parents' home, my Dad had planted several fruit trees in their large lawn and at dusk most of the year, deer would come to snack on whatever fruit they could find. It's a special memory for me. Those trees are still there, and continue to produce, so this little scene still plays out each year.

Tim Holtz' Festive Wreath
Tim recently had a release of Vault dies from Sizzix and I wanted them all, but decided on this Festive Wreath set, I think because of the candles in it. And you know how I am about wreaths.........
