Happy Monday everyone!  I hope that everyone had a great weekend!  Fall showed up over the weekend and that made me think about my favorite part of fall…. the leaves.

A fellow demonstrator shared this card with me and I thought it was just perfect for today.  That Crumb Cake cardstock with a little Delightful Dijon and then that POP of Rich Razzleberry and Copper foil!  WOW what a beautiful card!  This one goes together really quickly too!

The sentiment can come from any of your favorite stamp sets.  Wouldn’t this be a wonderful masculine birthday or sympathy card as well?  It’s just a nice card and goes together so quickly.  I think I will make up several of these, leave off the sentiment and add it as I go.  Love this card!

Can’t have a naked envelope, now can you?  Just a couple quick stamps and you have a lovely envelope to match.

Now it’s YOUR turn to create!  Want to work off your mobile device?  Just take it to your stamp space and work from here.

Would you rather save the document to your computer?

Can I make a recommendation?  Create a file in your “Documents” on your computer and call it MAKE IT MONDAY so you can always find the downloads whenever you need them.  Or, you can always search the Categories (left side bar) and click on Make It Monday.  You will see all of them in one place.

Here’s what you’ll need to create the Vintage Leaves Hello Card.  Use what you have, order what you need.  Just click a pic!

Vintage Leaves and the matching framelits are a big favorite of mine.  The leaves looks so realistic and really do lend themselves to both fall and masculine….and we all struggle with cards for the guys, don’t we?  Trust me when I say, this set will be a fast favorite for the manly cards.

Sad face…. The “9 to 5: The Musical” set has been torn down, costumes hung up, and props put away.  This photo was taken yesterday after we “striked” the set.  I hate seeing a great set come down.

It was such a FUN show to be a part of and the new friendships I made with so many of the cast will be treasured forever.  It was a great show and now I am ready to tackle the next show, “Exit Laughing”. (Luckily I have a little break before I start that one.)

For now, I’m off to have lunch with a dear friend, Leslie, whom I haven’t seen in awhile.  She is the wonderful woman who talked to me about becoming a Stampin’ Up demonstrator 13 ½ years ago.  I am so grateful for her.  I am really looking forward to our time together.

See ya tomorrow for a new 2-Minute Tuesday Tip!
