On Friday night, I was so revved up from the busy week that I could not sleep! So I went about cleaning up my craft space and then became inspired to make a card! It is amazing how cleaning up my craft table inspires me! I have also realized that late night computer usage really interferes with deep sleep...it is amazing how hard it is to turn off your brain after being on the computer before sleep time. This is why my crafting has taken a back seat, it seems the only time I have to craft is late night...hope to strike a balance soon.
Stamps: French Foliage, Pursuit of Happiness
Inks: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze
Papers: Vanilla, Soft Suede, Basic Black
Extras: Circle Punches
I created my card for a few different challenges...
So pretty, Lesley. I love french foliage. You've been "pinned" :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just so pretty, love the script! Thanks for playing at Inspired By.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the way you did the banners! And all those pretty leaves! The sentiment is so true! I agree about computer usage. I have to shut down early in the evening in order to have any hope of sleeping well.
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, Lesley! I love those banners! Makes me feel like Fall is in the air. Thanks for joining us at the PPA this week.
ReplyDeletewhat an utterly lovely and intricate C&S card! it's a great take on all three challenges, as well, definitely an autumn "hat trick"! ♥
ReplyDeleteThis card certainly caught my eye. And I know it will do the same for some of my friends, so I had to "Pin It". Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Love how it turned out!~ And I agree late night computer stuff is not good! I am trying to cut back as well!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Lesley. Love the background that you stamped and that gorgeous leaf.
ReplyDeleteCleaning up does the same to me! I get the best ideas when I'm in put-away mode! :) I love your color choice. I have never paired soft suede with black. What a great combo!! Gorgeous project!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteGREAT choice of stamps! I love how clear and crisp the images against the white card stock!! Beautifully done! So glad that you join the fun with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and great sentiment! Well done. : )
ReplyDeleteOoooh, how pretty! Love your layers of stamping with the leaves and text! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fall card, Lesley, and I hear you about computer usage interfering with sleep!
ReplyDeleteI tend to go upstairs and read a bit about 9:30 pm, and fall asleep soon after. If I get on the computer pasta 8:30 or so, it messes me up.
Hope you are adjusting to your new classroom/school. Hugs!
So pretty. I love the muted banners. I'm delighted you joined us this week at CAS-ual Fridays:)
ReplyDeleteI hope you find the perfect balance between computer and craft time!
