Let Us Begin
The deadline is almost here for the current ODBD challenge: Anything Goes with ODBD stamps. I used the "Let Us Begin" stamp set & one of the Beautiful Borders dies. I added Stickles, pearls & satin ribbon to embellish my card. Brown, cream & aqua is a combination that works anytime of year, I think.
I don't usually participate in Our Beautiful World, as photography is not one of my strengths. However, I couldn't resist showing what Autumn is like in my part of the world--Western Oregon.
Here's the neighbor's tree I've been showing every few weeks & now you can see the one next to it also has color.
Here's a shot from our last camping trip with temps still warm, but you know it's actually Fall when you see the leaves changing color.
And here's puppy Fritz on Critter Watch! I admit he looks like this no matter what season we're camping, but the leaves on the ground show it's Fall.
Thanks for sticking with me for this long post & I hope you enjoy the weekend.
This is just lovely Greta, the pop of aqua is marvelous!! We have pretty autumn colors here too and the air smells of it!! Love the photo of Fritz, looks like he's on guard ;)

ReplyDeleteWe were in New England two weeks ago and the colours were amazing, though still alot of green. I liked them still having green trees as it showed the contrast with the maples.
Love your dog.

Stunning Greta! Your card is just so elegant!
ReplyDeleteI have woods behind me and many of ours are still green! But some changing too! Lots of falling and lots to pick up! The not so fun part!

ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card Greta. And love your fall photos. Fritz is looking very pensive in the last one.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote. What a terrific layout too!
ReplyDeleteFall seems to be very slow here - we've kept temps in the 60s and 70s, and many of the trees in my yard are still green. We've had snow flurries by this time in the past, so I know winter's coming but it's going to be a rude awakening when it does!
Beautiful card and love the sentiment. Oh! How I envy you with those lovely autumn colours, Greta! We are going to Germany this week in search of some autumn colours and hope it will be as beautiful as yours!
