I Love Fall

 
Hello! I finished a card today that I began 5 days ago...sometimes, I'm just so indecisive about what design, layout, color scheme, and flavor to use that I end up overthinking the whole thing! But here it is, my latest overthought creation, lol. I love the stamp set "Into the Woods" by Lawn Fawn and wanted to ink up the little squirrel and use the supercute Doodlebug "Friendly Forest" designer paper collection. I think this is one of my very favorite Doodlebug paper collections, ever. Below, is a photo of the card interior with coordinating design, layout and designer paper.

Warms the Heart


I am so inconsistent with my cardmaking...a week ago, I cranked out 3-4 cards in one week...then this week, it just seemed that I couldn't get it together or get the mojo in gear. So, a new stamp and new paper always seems to do the trick, lol...at least, for me! I recently purchased my first rubber stamp from Impression Obsession (by the way, the stamp is such a clean stamp as far as how it stamps, very nice quality) and couldn't wait to ink it up. Lately, I've been on a crochet ribbon kick as a result of purchasing some really nice crochet ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, so this cute white crochet lacey ribbon seemed just the right finishing touch for my snowy, wintry card. Below, is a photo of the card interior with coordinating papers and design.
