Elaine, love your CAS cards. They are clean and SWEET!
Ellie, what a great prize. And your card is great! I bet we'll be seeing more slider cards from you in the future!

Trudi's great card reminded me that I had saved some fall leaves last year. So... I went looking for the phone book that I'd pressed them in. (Makes me wonder if people usually have phone books anymore? I only use ours for pressing leaves and flowers!)
To strengthen the fragile leaves I first gently laid them on a strip of clear packing tape, lightly pressed them onto the tape, then cut around them. Not sure if it will survive a trip in the mail, so will hand deliver it to a fellow lover of autumn. I know many of them!
The fall stickers are from my stash... possibly even got them from one of you peoples in a prize packet somewhere along the line.

Linda - what a fun banner!
Kathy - I love using "real" leaves. Maybe if you used a padded envelope with a stiff piece a paper/card board to keep bending too much, it might make it through the mail (or a photo mailer).

Linda Jo, that is really cute and love the banner you cut out.

Kathy, beautiful leaves; spectacular colors! I bet they would survive the mail on the packing tape but certainly understand your hesitation! I can see the recipient finding a bunch of crumbs in the envelope. :lol:

It didn't turn out as hoped, but it is still as fall leaf-ish as I could come up with. Surrounded by fall colors (yes, these were the muted colors).
