Just Us Girls #365 - Color Week


Fall is definitely here and these are the colors [I wish I could see on the trees] of the season.  You all that get the beautiful Fall colors are fortunate.  Here is Central Arizona, we aren't that lucky - we get brown.  Woo hoo - NOT. ;)

I at least get to see pretty cards made with these colors.  I used some Hero Arts leaves for my background, and a fun squirrel image I had in my stash.  I embossed in gold, sponged on Memento Bamboo Leaves, and stamped the sentiment in Rust.

Your turn - Come on over to JUGS #365 and play along in the Color Challenge.  Can't wait to see how you use the colors.


Thanks for stopping by~

Great background! Those gold leaves are fabulous, and that cute little squirrel is perfect here. So sorry you don't get the beautiful color. Here in Northern Michigan our leaves are fabulous!!! Wonderful take on the challenge, my dear!
