Hi there! How is your day going? I hope you are having a lovely day and I thank you for popping on by today to see me here! I have some simple Fall notecards to share today. I seem to have temporarily lost my crafty mojo... It happens from time to time. I sat down to make something and didn't really like anything that came out. I decided to just take it easy and simple and not be too hard on myself. What I came up with were these little note cards perfect for a Fall hello! I hope you like them!
The finished cards are 4x4 square. If you cut a 12x12 piece of cardstock you can get four notecards out of one piece of paper. These are a nice size to have on hand for thank you's or a quick howdy. Not too fussy, but still great for Fall. I used the Nestabilities leaves to do the leaves, and the banners are just hand cut by me. The sentiment is from PTI.
I tried to get a good side shot of the leaf....this particular Nestie has embossed pretty patterns on it. I used my blo-pen to add some speckles in brown to the main image. I also distressed the edges with Antique Linen ink.
I think these might also make a nice teacher gift?? Put them in a pretty box decorated with some leaves on top. What do you think?
Saturday we went out to a local pub to watch college football and eat too much junk food! Afterwards, when we came outside, we noticed that the clouds were just amazing. We decided to just drive around and do a mini photo shoot around town. Thought I would share some pix! First up is our state Capitol building...
This flag picture got a little fun photo-shopping action! I bet I could not re-create it so don't ask how I did it! I am not super savvy with the photoshop. I wish I was. I kind of like how this one came out.
These flowers are in a circle in front of the Capitol...I couldn't believe how big they were...and also that they were still in bloom this late in the year. The evening light is perfect for taking flower photos.
And...of course...a nice portrait of Mr. Buddy when we got home! Is he not the most handsome cat ever? I think I might be a bit biased!
The cards are so SWEET Wanda! I love the leaves and the texture that they have! Great photographs too! :D

Yes, Mr. Buddy is a very handsome fellow, I must agree with you there. And all your photos are so beautiful, Wanda! I swearsies we need a book of your photography. :)
Love your notecard set. I agree that this would make an amazing teacher gift, or an anybody gift. Love those nestie leaves. The embossing on them is beautiful. Love the text background and the banner sentiments, too. Really lovely!
