Gently Falling Notepads


I am in heaven with the new Spice Cake Suite!! The colors are fresh and beautiful, and who can resist the prints in that paper! And then there is the fact that I have never been able to resist anything with leaves, especially fall leaves :)
Fall is more about fresh starts to me than spring. Maybe it has to do with the start of a new school year with new clothes and shoes and school supplies, and training camp for VOLLEYBALL!! I miss volleyball...
Or that my first 2 kids were born in the fall. My birthday is in the fall too :)
Or that there are awesome fresh fruit and veggies  from the garden and we always butchered and had fresh meat in the fall growing up.
It is also the start of the major Holiday Seasons! Time to kick the crafting in high gear!
Or, maybe, just maybe, because spring in Minnesota is about mud, snirt (snow+dirt), more snowstorms and ice, and grayness until the last couple of weeks of May...

Well, today I am sharing some more of the fun little notepads I made last fall. We always have lots of things we need to keep track of in the fall, see above!
I added the quotes from one of the new sets in the main catty that I just HAD to have...
  • Stamps: Gently Falling, Pursuit of Happiness
  • Paper: River Rock, More Mustard, Very Vanilla or Pool Party, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
  • Ink: Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard, Pool Party, Crumb Cake
  • Other: small notepads from local printshop- they sell them for 10 cents a piece in a variety of sizes and papers from cardstock to linen paper to the old green and white striped computer paper :)
Here is the link to the tutorial I did last fall for these.






Here is the River Rock version


And the Pool Party version.. which is your favorite?

Gorgeous notepads!! I too, love fall more than spring. Maybe it's because I'm a fall baby, or it's the Minnesotan in me. But I sure do miss the fall leaves!

Same here! Autumn is my favorite time of year, and I'm loving the leaves in Gently Falling, and the colors in the Spice Cake DSP. These little note pads are beautiful!
