For my first card, I used these wonderful Verve pumpkins and of course the maple leaves - happy sigh :) Plus, our Thanksgiving was this past weekend, so the the sentiment fit as well. I have always loooved maple leaves, and being Canadian, it is a good thing, after all, we do have one on our flag LOL! We have lots of maple trees of various varieties on our street and a few in our back yard as well, so this time of year their beauty against a blue sky or evergreens often takes my breath away. We also have various pumpkin fields in the area so I combined both elements on my card. An embossed woodgrain background and some delicious autumn colours (my favorite to work with), and some twine and a few brown half pearls brought things together nicely.
For my second card, I continued with the maple leaf theme, only added latte's to the mix {grin}. Another mix of fall colours and more opportunities for thankfulness.

When I was growing up, our neighbor had a maple tree, and I always loved its colors best. Your maple leaves are gorgeous adornments, and, as always, your layers are enviable!
