Thanksgiving Acorn Leaves Card

Created this Thanksgiving Acorn Leaves Card
using Card Feature on Winter Woodland Cricut
cartridge.

Embellished it with some real Maple Leaves & Acorn
from my yard.


Photographed it in backyard near a Maple Tree
sapling that started growing when we lost a Rose
of Sharon Tree to lighting a couple years ago. We
had planted the Rose of Sharon Tree when daughter
was born.
