The first card I want to share with you today is actually my first ever attempt at a sympathy card. I've always been to intimidated to try one and when I needed one I'd just get a store bought one (hangs head in shame). I was actually pleased with how this came out and it also came together super quick. Love the Kit of the Months because there are always new stamps and new inspirations to play with!
The next card I want to share with you is a fall card that I made for Unity's monthly challenge Falling Leaves. Nothing like getting it in on the last day! I had a tough time with this one. I originally had a totally different idea in my head for how this card was going to look but when I finished inking the leaves I hated it. Thankfully I didn't give up and was able to salvage it by cutting some of it away completely and cutting the rest into thirds and mounting it on cardstock and then onto some pp by My Mind's Eye. The leaves are also stamped onto a light grid paper by My Mind's Eye. The leaf stamp and sentiment are both from Unity's September 2011 KOM. Finished off with some twine tied in a bow.

These are both such pretty cards!
Like both cards. Like the layered stamp on the first card a lot.
I love the blog hops because it gets me to really look at the stamp kits. I didn't notice the little "Sorry" stamp in the July KOM. This kit is already on my wish list... now I have another good reason it buy it! :oD TFS

Both of your cards are so nice! I love the blue acrylic paint on the first one. It's a great sympathy card!
Beautiful sympathy card, love that idea with the butterfly stamp. And your leaves card is amazing. Wonderful panel and I love the stamped leaves.
I love both cards - the fall card is lovely and your first try at a sympathy card looks great! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.
These are both lovely!
Both cards are fabulous, the touch of blue on your sympathy card is gorgeous and I love the rich warm colours of your fall themed card.
That's a beautiful sympathy card. You nailed your first attempt! And your leaf card is stunning--so glad you kept with it. :)

Beautiful sympathy card!! Love the soft teal and butterfly. Your second card is gorgeous too. Great job!!
Great cards.
I love the colors in both cards. Very beautiful. The leaves on the second are just awesome!
The sympathy card is lovely - those are so hard to do and yet mean so much to the recipient. The fall card turned out awesome as well. Great job at persevering to get a card made!
Pretty and simple. I like that these days...
