I think I like this one best, very simple!
For this one I just used some of the beautiful papers and the gorgeous Martha Stewart gold leaf ! Well, and some Lil Inkers. 


I was looking for a way use more of the wonderful fall papers, that Kara sent. I decided to make squares from  Papertrey Ink - Make a Wish Die Collection from Paper Trey Ink
I am entering this one in the

On this last one a used a ZIG pen . It's an alcohol shimmer pen.

  1. Before I could comment, I HAD to pin that fabulous card with all the squares of patterned paper! I LOVED it! You could not have laid out that card any better! I loved it. Loved it! The card with the white embossed background and pretty bow also was so striking. Extra-special good this month Marybeth!!!

  5. Hi Marybeth. I'm becoming a big fan of your work. So beautiful! In your first card with the gold leaf, there is some background text in script which appears to me to be from Jane Austen's Pride and Predjudice. In addition to being a stamp addict, I love all things Austen. Could you tell me how to get that script? Was it a paper or a background stamp? Thanks for any help you can offer.

  7. Oh those fall colors are gorgeous!
    Love the contrast with the dark brown.
    I can't pick a favourite card this time, I love them all!
    The golden leaf, the banner with the house and gorgeous satin ribbon,(the liquid pearls are such an elegant finishing touch!),the embossed background, Jane Austen,the gorgeous little squares with such a meaningful sentiment...
    and of course the beautiful fall leaves and acorns!
    They all make me feel happy and I think I want a hot cup of cocoa, ha, ha.
    With whipped cream of course!
    Thanks for the fall inspiration!
    Bye,

    ps. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog! Really much appreciated!
    I'm fine, only busy getting all my DT work done for the magazine and book. :-)
    I'm new to all of that, so it takes up more time than I thought it would.
    Hope to get back to blogging soon!

  9. Oh, yes, that is my fave, too, Marybeth, and - oh, wait, no I, this one, or maybe, wow, look at the patchwork quilt one, and then ... yeah, no, I won't be able to pick a favorite after all! Hugs, Darnell

  12. OMG, Marybeth-they are all so awesome! You always do such wonderful things with each month's kit. Funny how our gold leaf cards are similar. Love how you used the script background though. Your Autumn Hills scene is so pretty with those trees & embossed background and your vase of leaves looks gorgeous with the glitter & shine. And I really LOVE your squares design with the die cut word on top--definitely want to CASE that one!

  16. These are all fabulous. I think my favorite is a toss up between that first card highlighting that gold leaf and the last one with all those pattern paper squares. And, in between--so many great ideas and beautiful cards. Wonderful coloring, and I just love what you did with those tiny acorns.

  20. You make it all look so easy, and it's so hard to do simplicity. These a positively stunning, and the touches of accents, like the Glossy Accents on the acorns, are spot on. I just love not missing a single square inch of your goodness, now that I always get an email for every post.

    Have fun this evening with your wee ones.

  32. Marybeth, I'd love to be able to use patterned papers as beautifully as you do. Your choices frame the gold leaf on the first card perfectly. The gold accents on the leaves on your second card are fabulous! I love how you used lots of white with just splashes of pattern and color. The grid layout on the third card is very clever and a wonderful use of the pretty papers. And look at those glossy acorns and shimmering leaves on the last card! Gorgeous coloring of the vase and fall bouquet, Marybeth.
