Yesterday afternoon I went to Jayne’s Stamp Camp and made some great cards. As always, Jayne gives us perfectly designed kits that make beautiful cards. This great afternoon of stamping made me want to stamp more last night. And on the drive home I was thinking, “I really need to make a blog card tonight! But whatever am I going to make?”. About that time, I noticed a whole flock of geese on a field. I was surprised to see the geese here so early and was pondering how beautiful they looked. Then it hit me, that’s my card!!! Thank you geese.
I started trying to design with both the Wetlands and the new Winter Wishes. But couldn’t quite get that to work out. But stayed tuned, I won’t give up! Maybe that version will appear in a later post. Today’s version is all Wetlands! I really think this set will be around as long as Lovely as a Tree, it is so versatile. And I bought it in wood mount, which is a true sign of my committment to a stamp set! The goose is snipped out and placed on top of the grass, because I do not have the patience for masking! I was going to add a button on top of the ribbon and then I saw my package of “Into The Woods” wood embellishments. Perfect! I was a fun card to make and reminder fall is on the way!

Thanks for checking out my post, Jo! It HAS been a strangely rainy and hot summer in Florida this year! Sorta of like that weather right before a hurricane. But there is just no hurricane!
Lovely card and a welcome reminder fall is on the way. With “feels like” temperatures of 100* plus down here in Florida, I just can’t wait. Looking forward to your next entry!
