Autumn Meadows

Last week I started working my way through a pack of Autumn Meadows dsp (from last year's Holiday Mini catalog)--I really enjoy the color combos and textures of the paper. I'm trying to get a bunch of fall type cards made for the troops. The mailing deadline is mid-September and I want From Our Hearts to receive them with time to spare, so I'm hoping to finish up and mail them off by the end of this week. I went through an entire pack of Chocolate Chip cardstock last week! I'm down to picky little scraps and that's it.

I will say that all the cards I've made from the paper pack have been CASEd from somewhere else, so if you see a card that looks like yours, let me know! I have trouble keeping track of where I find things sometimes. I made 8 of these babies and I'm really quite pleased with how they came out. Those little squares were a tiny bit pesky, but not too bad. My version was more "inspired by" the original version than a straight copy. Martie said that the types of cards they need most are "miss you" and "thinking of you" cards, so I tried to focus my sentiment efforts in that direction.

Supplies:
Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip, Autumn Meadows, Very Vanilla cs
Three Little Words
Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip ink
5/8" grosgrain ribbon (choc. chip, retired)
