Colors of Fall

Happy Sunday Fall Morning!!!

I have been up since the crack of dawn and decided not to waste any time

so came up with this fall card for the challenge at "City Crafter"

which is to use the inspiration photo and the theme is "Leaves"

I went with a more simple design, and I think a bit of elegance!

Last fall my friend "Dar" gave me a bunch of packets of  5x7 AC cardstocks.

I used a piece of the brown textured from the "neutrals" pack....

My little strip of patterned paper is Bo Bunny Trail Mix

I purchased some new Prima leaf dies, and I am the kind of person

that when I get my new dies, I have to cut "samples" right away

and that is where these two leaves came from!! 

A bow from a scrap and a couple of stick pins were added...

I finished off with a few sequins that I found at Tuesday Mornings!!

I had the best day yesterday!!

Six of us went to an Amish home where the owner (Lydia) cooked us

an Amish tea...OMGoodness, what a wonderful time we all had!!

I wanted to share with you the picture of the menu she made (and served)

I think I put 20#'s on!!!!

She let us tour her home and even take all the photos we wanted....

She is true Amish and explained the ways of the Amish life to us...

it was the best learning experience.....

and after several questions were asked she reminded us 

"remember, we are just people, too"

that kind of stuck with me!!!

I was a fun, fun day spent not ony in her company, but with good friends...

One of the cutest things she had outside was an old corn crib

turned into a gazebo...she said her brother thought she was nuts

when she had him move it there, but I have to say "I WANT ONE"!!!

It was so unique and she had a grill and patio table and chairs inside and it was screened!

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed my day yesterday!!!
