Yesterday, I took photos of my girls with a few of their cousins playing outside in the leaves and thought today would be perfect to play with this set. (BTW: Thank you, Karen!) Seeing five beautiful little girls all dressed up in fall colors, throwing leaves all around and having an absolute blast, I thought that would be enough inspiration for me to attemp to colors these adorable little girls in. I have to admit, I am feeling kinda aweful uploading this card because I feel my coloring turned out aweful! I really, REALLY tried! I loved the way it was colored in my head. The image looked just as colorful and happy as the girls did playing outside yesterday! Not so much after I put it on paper! Karen you really do make it look EASY to colors these little ones in! Going to have to take a class from you, cause I am in DESPERATE NEED!
I did play with the layout and decided to make a larger size card.
Hope you like it...somewhat!
What do you think of those leaves as my "circle" embellishment? I'm not too sure about them! Tell me what you think!

Jenna, this turned out so cute. I think you are holding yourself up to the Karen Barber standard and that's pretty up there! The embellishment is perfect and it's clear that you put a lot into this wonderful card with the layers, the lace and the border. We are enjoying seeing it in the gallery.

Awww, the little gals are precious! Love the feminine touches like the lace, delicate DP, and the bow with the leaves! (The leaves look great...good choice.)

So sweet! I love the leaf/flower embellishment as your circle element. Don't be so hard on your coloring. I think it is delightful. It looks terrific on these two little cuties
