Feeling {Fall"ish"}


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...

  3. I 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.

  6. This 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.

  13. Very pretty fall card, Lesley, and I hear you about computer usage interfering with sleep!

    I 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!
