Happy Fall

Hello my blog friends.  Are you having a wonderful week so far?  We should finally be cooling down a bit here.  I am so looking forward to that.  My poor son is covered in mosquito bites and his allergies are horrible here.  I have a sinus headache myself right now.  Anyway...I realized that I haven't made any fall cards yet.  I had better get them out quick.  I colored this jar of fall fillers a couple weeks ago and wasn't happy how it turned out.  I decided to go ahead and try to use.  I figured maybe it would look better all put together.
I saw Michelle's new Christmas Jar filler set.  It is very cute.  I wasn't planning on ordering this release from PTI since nothing really caught my eye.  But I realized I don't have very many Christmas stamps and that Jar Filler set has a lot of possibilities for cute tags and such.  I used the sketch at Taylored Expressions to get me started.  She has some cute new stamps sets on her release too.  There can almost be too many choices sometimes. 
I am off to go check out the craft store and see if I spy any new goodies.  I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week.  I am going to try and make another card today.  I was dreaming of a card last night as I was trying to sleep.  Anyone else do that?  Or am I just crazy?  LOL

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/Terracotta Tile, Rustic Cream, Ripe Avacado
Stamps: PTI/Friendship Jar Fall Fillers
DP: PTI/Green Tea Leaves, Bitty Dot Basics 2009
Copics: G21,G24,E31,E33,E37,YR07,Y17,R29,
Twine: PTI
Flower: Recollections
Lace: Wrights
Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug

Thanks so much for stopping by,
Heather

    No you're not crazy. I'll do it sometimes too. Just put a little notepad and a pencil on your night table; you can draw it on paper and have a sletch/idea for next day :)
    I can't stop looking at this card. I love the jar and the way you colored it. But it's also the papers. lace, flower and tag. They are all stunning and the way you put it all together....gorgeous...I love it!

    I tried to take a little cat nap today (didn't sleep well last night) and I couldn't stop dreaming about stamps and paper and ribbon and all the possibilities!!! LOVE your fall card! The beautiful colored image looks so pretty with that mini leaf BG paper. And your flower looks like it it dripping in sugar!

    Heather.....your coloring is just wonderful. Love all the colors of fall and this is a beautifull card creation. Yes, I too lay in bed at night and just can't get to sleep until I finalize in my mind different ways to finish off a card. That's the best time to think.......nice and quiet and no distractions. Thanks again for all the info you gave me.
