French Foilage is one of my all time favorite stamp sets and what I used for my fall card last year. It's one of the most realistic leaf stamps I have ever seen and is easily colored with Stampin' Up! markers. Simply tied with a bit of Linen Thread and an embossed background to frame it. I created this card after enjoying a swap I received at the SU! convention from Helen, who I've become acquainted with here in Boise. Check out the great blog she's just started here. I wish you could hear…

Oops - somehow with being gone - I missed publishing the third card we made at my Cards class this month - it was a Sympathy card. We had done sympathies recently, but sadly I had to use mine up already - so we made another design. Sympathy cards are the one type that I really like to have on hand, as they are very difficult to make when you need them - for obvious reasons.
