Autumn Leaves

Our leaves are beautiful right now in Iowa.  However, the wind is starting to kick up and they are dropping very quickly.  But they are still so beautiful to look at.  The image below is from Bugaboo and is part of a set called Mini Set - Leaf Block.  There are several different kinds of leaves in the set and I had a hard time deciding which leaf to use for my card but this one won out.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Time for Tea?

I just love this image from Bugaboo.  It could be used for so many things, get well, thinking of you, even let's get together.  I choose not to add a sentiment for that exact reason.  Who knows what this card will be used for.  The image is called Tea Time Tea Cup and the color combo is because of the Catch the Bug challenge but I had fun using it.  Thanks for stopping by today.
