Blog Candy winners and a Fall Wreath

Thanks to Nancy and Nance for posting a comment or sending me an email.  Both ladies picked the embossed version.  (See my last post to understand what I'm talking about.) I will have the cards in the mail to you both toot sweet.  Since only two people responded, I decided to make them both winners!!

Are you curious which version Hubby picked? He liked the plain Gumball Green card stock.  I've always said he likes the simpler cards.  I should have known, huh?

Now onto today's share.  A Fall wreath. 

 
 
I saw a card similar to this when the stamp set Day of Gratitude first came out.  This is a simple layout, but the card itself takes some time to make.  Cutting out the leaves and acorns is time consuming.  Fortunate for me, I love paper cutting.  I made ten of these cards. Yes, that's 90 leaves and 50 acorns I cut out.  It was a couple hours of meditative paper cutting.  Ahhhh. 
 
 
Thanks for popping in.  Sending thankful thoughts to you for being one of my blog readers.
