The final month of summer has felt more like the first month of autumn -- we've had cool, crisp weather and blue skies. The trees are even starting to turn, so it seems like an appropriate time to start breaking out the autumn-themed stamps!
My first thought on images to go with this sentiment would be a turkey, but since I was fresh out of poultry, my next thought was this scarecrow who also appears well-stuffed.
For my second autumn card, I had to go with my favorite part of Fall -- the leaves. This sentiment is beautiful on its own, so I used a simple layout from Unscripted Sketches #22 and highlighted it with mini prima leaves:

That scarecrow is just darling Jess!! Love the fun color combo you've used on both cards too! :)
Wonderful cards today Jessica! You showed true patience in cutting out that scarecrow! I just love that bright blue!
Jessica, your cards today are so much fun! I love the simple layouts & that blue on both of them is the perfect accent color! Happy Fall!
Both of these are just wonderful, Jessica! I love the kraft/bright blue combo.
Cool Scarecrow! I love the blue too, reminds me of a September sky!
What great colors for fall! Great coloring and layout of your scarecrow card. The blue panel on your 2nd card makes the sentiment and leaves pop! Lovely!
