Thankful.

Hey y'all! Hope you're enjoying this relaxing Sunday?!! Surprise, surprise...I actually made a card, that I"m happy with! I saw the Casual Fridays Challenge and been thinking about it, since Friday! Nothing was coming to me and then around 9:30pm last night, it came to me. Now I'm not always up for crafting that late at night, by then I'm usually too tired to do anything! Though, I was in the mood to craft, so I went for it!

I kept my card nice and simple. Nothing too hard about this card. Now, for my leaves....that took a little bit of time. I cut strips of pattern paper (two different ones, to be exact). I then laid down adhesive on some white cardstock and placed my paper strips over it. Alternating them back and forth. After doing that, I used my die and ran it through my machine. I then chose a couple groups of leaves, that I liked and cut them from the rest of my die cut. I ended up with a lovely little bunch of leaves. :) *Lately, I've been on this whole strips of paper thing...I don't know why, but I'm just lovin' it right now.*

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!!
