Happy fall, sweet friends! Well, at least it's fall up north, but we are keeping a close watch on Hurricane Matthew and are prepared. I really enjoyed coloring up this new fall digital image, and I love the wooden wheelbarrow. And would you believe there is a Turks cap or turban squash? That's the green one on top. What a haul, eh? Allison Cope used this designer paper for one of her cards, and I fell in love with it and bought some for myself. It's a perfect color pallet and, I also am participating in this week's Color Challenge, which is a wonderful array of fall colors. I so love playing challenges when I can - yay!
After coloring my image, I die cut it and put it in my MISTI to add a sentiment from a clear stamp set. Just seemed to fit for my card. Then I cut the DP, added it to my card base, and added my focal image. Simple layout and very mail friendly.
Thank you so much for taking a closer look, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! Praying for all those affected by the hurricane and hoping we are fine. Big hugs, sweet friends!

As always Cheryl, I am sitting here drooling over your gorgeous coloring skills and looking at each perfect detail. You could illustrate a nature book. You have such great design sense and always combine the perfect elements of layout, color, and image. Faved
