Challenge 215 | Fall Scenes!

We are in one of my favorite seasons of the year - fall!  Where it is still warm during the day and cool at night.  When the leaves start changing - so beautiful!  Our challenge is to make a card with fall stamps or papers!  Join us!

We are excited to welcome Janette Goodall as our Guest Designer.  Janette blogs at Fun Full Creating.  And talk about creating!  Beautiful stunners like this one that Janette made for us!  I am in love with how the leaves pop with the papers and splatter in the background.  My favorite is the chair - it really ties this whole card together!  A masterpiece!  Be sure to visit Janette and leave her a comment!
