Happy Sunday
It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's theme week. Here's Ann's theme:
One of the things I love about living in the mid-west is fall. The changing colors are sometimes gorgeous and driving around is such a pleasure. So, I used that as the inspiration for my card this week and went to town with goodies from The Greetery – Top Down and the mini set called Top Down Autumn Day. Of course, I needed trees, so I used the Fir & Foliage 1 set, also from the Greetery. I love the idea of a whole card load of pumpkins for decoration. Our old neighbors have told us they will miss us not doing our normal seasonal decorations on the front porch of our old house. We have a little bit of space on the balconies at the apartment, so will probably get some 'mums and a couple of pumpkins. Right now, the hummer is still enjoying the lantana – so we are holding off until they have gone before we put out the Mums.
Anyway, here's my card:
I used some watercolor paper for the base and colored the area for te card and the bright, light blue sky that we get around here at this time of year.
I hope you will join us and play along. We would love to see what you create. As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:
On a personal note:
I am thrilled it is a long weekend and have taken a couple of extra days next week. Yesterday I decided I really needed to do something about cataloging all of my cards. I needed to make an autumn themed card and couldn't remember all the autumn/fall sets I had, so decided it really was time to do what I used to do at the old house. Catalog them all. All the stamps, dies and stencils. It's time consuming and will eat up a very good portion of my day, but, in the end, it is so worth it!
I'll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

Super fun card…definitely has fall written all over it! If I only had a convertible like that…sigh! Love the trees too…perfectly done!
Oh Jaydee, I just LOVE this card. That little convertible is just perfect for a drive to see all the pretty leaves. I love that she picked up a few pumpkins, too! This is just the best card to showcase Fall! I hope you have a great week, My Friend! XX
And, when you get your stamps all organized, I sure wish you would help me! LOL!
Such a fun card, I am in love with those trees!
Jaydee, I love all the elements, especially the car and the driver’s ponytail. What a wonderful fall scene! Great job with the coloring. Enjoy your organizing and time off.
Haydee, this is just darling! I love the convertible with the pumpkins and the trees in the background! You rocked th theme!
Jaydee, you sure went to town in style with this card! I love everything about it! I can almost feel the cool breeze and wind in my hair. Such a fun tribute to fall, you nailed it!
A perfect fall card! So fresh and fun!
Darling card. I always wished I had a convertible. Can you post some of your organizing ideas? tfs
I love the fun feel of this chic lady whizzing along the autumn tree-lined roads, especially with her pumpkin haul on display – just fabulous! Hope the organising went well – are you available for hire? My supplies ate seriously out of control lol!!!
Fall Fun indeed! Love that carload of pumpkins and those gorgeous trees.
What a fun card, Jaydee! That fall foliage is perfect for a cruise with the top down to enjoy all of those fall colors to their fullest. Love it!
