A Magnificent Time of Year

I LOVE fall!  It is a magnificent time of year.  The leaves are changing colors, the weather begins to get cooler and we are able to remember the many things we are thankful for during the year.

The Magnificent Maple stamp is a great example of this time of year.  It can be used in many ways...as a background stamp, as a focal point on a card or as an addition to a gift tag or bookmark.  I decided to CASE a Thank You card by Jill Coleman.  To visit her card, please click here.  The first card is a CASE of her card with a different Thank You stamp set.  The second card is what I thought my Club members would enjoy as a Thank You card, a fall birthday card or a Thanksgiving card with a change in colors, arrangements of the maple leaves, ribbon and the Thank You greeting moved to the top of the card.  I had so much fun creating these cards and playing with new color combinations.  Give it a try for yourself!
