Get Funky Autumn Greetings

On the last minute again with my entry for the October challenge at 'Get Funky', which is AUTUMN.

We managed to get away for some late sunshine at half term and flew off to Fuerteventura. It bugs me how the prices go up during school/college holidays but as I work in a school and my younger son is at college, we have no choice. Then Danny (finished at university but unable to find a job) decided that he might as well come with us as he had nothing better to do, so it was 4 adults at inflated prices. Still it was nice to spend time together as a family.

Now back on the 'treadmill' of school life I've not had much time for crafting, well not card making anyway, as I'm in the middle of making curtains and a Roman Blind for the Living Room. The curtains aren't a problem but I'm beginning to think that the Roman Blind wasn't such a good idea as its size makes it difficult to manage. It's for 10 ft wide patio doors that are almost the full height of the room so I'm spending a lot of time on my knees as the floor is the only surface big enough to work on.

I'd been thinking of taking a break from sewing to make an Autumn card but couldn't decide on a layout when the idea for this clean and simple design popped into my head, so I went online to find a suitable short poem and got to work.

The base card is smooth white 6"x6", text printed in brown and all papers are from the Orange October collection on Craft the Year Away. The leaves were hand cut then the edges were inked before attaching with foam pads for added dimension.


Thanks for looking,
