Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Colorful Leaves Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! The weather is turning so much cooler here in Maine and we have very little leaves remaining on the trees. It’s that time of year and I hate what’s coming next!

This week our theme is all about Colorful Leaves. I hope you were lucky enough to purchase the All About Autumn Designer Paper from our Mini Catalog because it just recently sold out. It was so popular. Look how pretty the leaves are on the designer paper:

I also added pretty layers of diecut leaves from the Autumn Leaves Bundle. It was so easy to replicate the colors with the cardstock:
