Every Leaf Speaks Bliss to me, Fluttering from the Autumn Tree

Sorry, I am a little late with this post.... well, better late than never, right?

You may be thinking, this looks familiar, and you wouldn't be wrong, this is one of those projects that I keep changing... Admit it, I know you have many of these yourself... Every time you look at it you change it in some way, sometimes it is just adding fibers or glitter, and sometimes a bit more of  a re-do.... With my new project, you'll note that I've made some slight tweaks by going back to my original file and changing some of the colors and fonts and decided to frame it as part of my fall decor... I am trying not to use up all my color ink, so I printed mine out on a nice bright yellow. I wanted something light enough to display the pretty colors yet a great color for the fall... Hope you like it!

Fall decor you may wonder? Yes, I'm actually working on a few pieces and will share it with you when I'm done (or think I'm done, lol)

Love do this quote from Emily Bronte:

"Every Leaf speaks Bliss to me,

        Fluttering from the Autumn tree" 

This is the same Emily Bronte quote that I used on this card I shared with you... I couldn't decide which version to use and finally selected the rounded tree cutout... Of course, after I sent it thought I just should have skipped the overhanging tree altogether :-)

Every Autumn Leaf quote card

When I see this quote I cannot help but think about all those pretty leaves outside right now... I love all the yellows, oranges and reds outside! Of course, that is until they fall... If they could only stay on the trees (I must confess I don't like them as much when they are everywhere.... does anyone want to rake them up for me? We have LOTS of trees, so there are always leaves!)

There are so many great fall quotes and printables out there, hmmm sounds like that may be my next walkabout!

World Card Making Day 2013 Fun Quilling Happy Birthday Card

World Card Making Day - Happy Birthday Card

Happy World Card Making Day!

Don't you love that there is an entire day dedicated to celebrating Card Making?

Who do you know in your life that you haven't talked to in a while? Someone who needs a bit of cheer? Perhaps give someone a card for no reason at all!

World Card Making Day - Happy Birthday

We give cards for so many reasons, and it is likely if you take time from your busy schedule to visit with me that you too love to create your own cards because you are giving from your heart. On this 2013 Card Making Day why don't you take a moment and create a card for someone to let them know you were thinking about them.

Let's get crafty today, I'd love to see what you've made!  The card I'm sharing is a Birthday card I made. Believe it or not, but I hand cut the stacked present shape, maybe next time I need to create a cut file for this? Oh well, I have another one that I have to use first... The quilled element is a multi-strip design where I took several strips of quilling paper that matched the colors I used on the card, I then rolled the tips and glued them together and then pulled the strips to create this shape.  I did this twice, glued it together and then took my scallop punch and punched a few scallops and fringed them for added texture.

World Card Making Day - Fun Quilling!

I do like making Birthday cards for people whose birthdays are near Halloween... I mean I get to use Halloween shapes (like the spider web border in this card) and all the beautiful oranges, purples, browns, and blacks of the season!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Freebie Friday Autumn Polaroid Frame Cut File

Free Autumn Polaroid Frame

Happy Freebie Friday! I am so excited to share my Autumn Polaroid frames with you today! I fell in love with the Polaroid frames a long time ago... So being able to share my addiction love with you is a treat.

Earlier this week I posted a project using my Autumn frame, and as I was preparing this post I decided to throw in a few other Autumn frames for you. As you can see, the differences are in the shape of the frame, a traditional hard edges shape or my signature rounded corners.  I also played with the fonts I used.

Free Autumn Polaroid Frame

I must admit, my absolute favorite font right now is the one I used on my project - it cuts like a dream and is so delicate in appearance, it meets all of my requirements.

Do you have a love for these Polaroid frames too? How do you use frames in your projects? I'd love to hear.

Every Falling Leaf Card and Autumn Frame

Every Leaf Speaks Bliss to Me

Good Morning! The wonderful Autumn weather is holding firm, it is beautiful. The leaves are turning all those wonderful golden yellows and reds and you are comfortable when enjoying the outdoors!

You can thank the lovely weather and this fantastic quote from Emily Bronte:

"Every Leaf Speaks Bliss to Me, Fluttering from the Autumn Tree"

Isn't this just the most perfect quote for this time of year? I absolutely love it!!!  I went searching for a tree image to couple with the quote and went about playing designing.  I created the Autumn Polaroid cut file first, I knew I wanted to do something for the fall, and as you know, I do love those Polaroid frames, so Project Life!  I cut it out of green and backed the letters with purple (I love that color combination).  Here's a close up of the gorgeous font (this font is a keeper for future projects - it cuts really well and is so pretty! Updated - the cut file for the Autumn Polaroid frame is here!)

Autumn Polaroid - closeup

I then worked on the quote, and how to break it apart... and then of course there is the too many fonts for one person to use in their lifetime search for the perfect font and ended up with what you see here.  As I started working with it, I decided that I wanted the tree to extend beyond the frame (I think next time I will go with a smooth semi-circle, or just cut the tree off instead?).

...Falling from the Autumn Tree

I currently have it as a card, but I don't know? I am thinking of maybe adding a fall photo of one of our nature walks and keeping it on my desk at work? Or perhaps simply framing this?

Free Tree Clipart

Oh, I grabbed the tree from http://bestclipartblog.com/25-tree-clip-art.html/tree-clip-art-14
Isn't it a great tree? Will definitely have to stop in and check out all their clipart!

Do you second guess yourself and your projects? Do you ever get to the end and then start over? Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I do, or I store the picture in a folder called - "Someday Do Overs"... I don't hate the projects, but there is something that you know you can do better next time...

I hope you have a wonderful day!
