Magnificent Maple

I am not usually one for making fall cards, but this year is different. After seeing different parts of the country, I am ready to get out of San Diego and move to a place with seasons. In the mean time, I will continue to play with my Autumn Accents leaf die.

 

I decided to play along with the SUO Challenge blog. There theme is harvest time. Well, I would like to harvest a pile of leaves and jump in them!

By the Seashore

With winter right around the corner, the boys and I have been enjoying as much of the warm sun as possible. This is a completely unfair statement as I live in San Diego, but the water temp will be dropping soon enough.

 

I used an oldie but goody layout, crossed with inspiration from today's trip to the beach.
