I just learned today (thanks, Mandy!) that I got Honorable Mention for "Best Use of Leaves" in PTI's December Guest Star Stamper Contest! I can't begin to express how thrilled I am, because when you see the other entries, you'll understand my enthusiasm! To be consider even CLOSE to equal as the other entries, is so flattering... as they all did such beautiful work! :) I'm on cloud nine...or even perhaps ten! :)

Nice card, Ted! The colors are so earthy and masculine. I love how the leaves float around the central leaf image. Great job! :)
Oh I love how you embossed the leaf.
I almost have my card ready to submit for your challenge about the football team, hoping to post it tomorrow, I am hoping it's not to late to enter it.
Pretty card Ted!

Very nice card, indeed, Ted. Love the embossing, the window and, of course, I just love the leaves. It is amazing how versatile this set is and lends itself to a masculine or feminine style. It looks great. Don't you just love embossing!
