A Fall Texture for You
Here in the States it still feels like summer, we have had near 90 degree temps in my state of Kansas. I thought it would be nice to make a texture and a glitter tile for us to get in the fall mood .
One thing I do love about fall is that the leaves turn such beautiful colors. When I was a little girl we had a maple tree out in the front. The leaves would turn such robust colors of red and orange. Maple leaves are really, in my opinion one of the prettiest, in the fall.
Things that I love about fall also are the field trips to the pumpkin patch with my son and getting treated to apple cider, freshly made and ice cold. Oh, and pumpkin pie made from scratch, the smell of the pie permeating the whole house.
Now there is only one thing I dislike about fall and that is the ever looming approach of winter. Here in Kansas our winters have traditionally been known to be bitterly cold with wind chills below zero.
Now that I have had a chance to share a little of myself with you let me now share this fall texture …

To use these, or any of the textures the Wildheart has created for you in this series, just right click on the image and choose Save link as… or Save target as…
Then you can open the texture tile onto your layout and stretch it to fit. Use your blending modes to blend the texture with your background paper.

Just got a chance to check this out and don’t know why the glitter didn’t take over here. If anyone is still interested I can post it on my blog. Thanks and have a great day.

Getting Christmas cards out is a chore enough as it is without making them myself yet. You must be a crafty person to decorate each one by hand after you print them. I could possible see myself designing and printing some on my own, but I most likely will buy them again this year and insert my yearly newsletter.
