The weather is crappy. There, I said it. Not for lack of topics, but because I live in Alberta. We have a right to take a minute and complain because yesterday, it snowed. Not only did it snow, but there was snowfall warnings in my province! So, before all you So & So's that live in the nice provinces of Canada call me and ask "Are you alright? We heard about the warnings!" or " Oh really, I hadn't heard… it's 27 here." let me just tell you, We Know. We know all about it, the crazy weather, the super cold don't leave your house weather, the car won't start gas froze three hour tow wait weather, the weather where your cheeks get chapped for months because of the extreme cold. We know it's coming.
   But guess what? I don't care. Secretly it's part of why we stay because along with that comes some wild thunderstorms, super hot sunny prairie days, picturesque winter wonderlands and miles of sky. Also, giant hats, larger than your head! Now that we have that out of the way, yesterday I made some note cards! Nothing extravagant, simple but nice, just to write a quick note.

 First I sprayed a clear varnish on top of flat, dried leaves, then sprinkled with different fall colours of glitter. The I flipped them over, after a couple minutes dry time,  and sprayed the back with spray adhesive (I like 3M brand spray adhesive). Gently position on a blank card and flip over the card to press on the back, to fully press the leaf on and stick all areas without rubbing the delicate leaf.

 Then I made a bunch of these with my favourite stamp and some glittery embossing powder. Easy-Peasy!
   AND THEN, I've been working on a business card of sorts for family and friends to be able to find my blog. They became pretty complex, I printed double sided, made a button stamp to then stamp the centre and affix some embossing powder, then to melt the embossing powder, and punch out the card. Then there's the envelope. I used double coloured paper and a fancy Cricut machine. And finally, super glue to affix the paper button (made from a paper punch) and glue the envelope together. This IS my idea of fun! Although not really great of you ever give out cards all willy-nilly like.
