Today I encountered a lot of technical difficulties which was extremely frustrating and consumed a lot of time.  The one good thing that came out of all my delays was I took time outs from dealing with the problems and looked at some challenge blogs.  I found the Stampin' Royalty Challenge Blog and knew I had to play along with their Challenge #298.  Their theme is Falling for Fall.  This was just perfect for me since I am obsessed with the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set and have stamped, embossed and cut out a lot of leaves.  

I used the leaves to connect the two parts of the card.  Yes, I am also a little obsessed with this style of card as well.  I have shared different samples here , here and here .

This photo shows the open middle of the card a little better.  I still have more leaves but will try and space out the samples a little so you won't get tired of seeing them.  Hope your day is going well and you too can take some time to participate in the Stampin' Royalty Challenge #298.
