Gratitude Leaves Card

I can't believe all of the thoughts that are swirling around in my head when I created this card.  I needed a fairly simple & quick card so that I could make 9 of them in a small time frame.  This is the card that I came up with.  I will be giving each of my club members one of these cards as their thank-you for joining my club card.  Before I sat down to make this card, I visited the talented Mary Fish's blog for some ideas.  Well, while I was there I got a couple.  Thanks Mary for the inspiration!  The idea of the Top Note Die made into a square came from Mary Fish's blog.  Her amazing card is here.  In fact, she had 2 amazing cards that I found on her blog sporting the square Top Note that I liked, the one I linked was quicker to find.  hehehe  I also got the leaf idea from her blog too.  Here is her leaf card.  I hope my club members like their cards.  I had so much fun teaching them the different stamping techniques and scrapbook layouts.  I hope they join my clubs next year.  Please visit the stamping technique & classes I offer heading to see which stamping events I am offering for 2011.  I would also love it if you joined as well.

If you want to recreate this card, the size of the Peach Parfait & Pear Pizzazz card stock are 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" and the Very Vanilla squares that have the leaves stamped on them are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2".
