L is for Leaves


 I always make a money envelope to tip the guy who mows the lawn for us every year, and since they'll be wrapping up for the season soon, I made an envelope this year with autumn leaves on it. I made the envie with kraft cardstock and used a snippet of plaid paper along with a piece of lavender cardstock. I used a MFT stitched die, along with a TE die-cut thanks die and some Lawn Fawn stitched leaves to put this all together - using snippets  found in my overflowing stash. I think this makes the tip a little special rather than just handing over cash.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

Your kindness always shines dear Carol, and I'm sure that the guy has appreciate so much your envelope. It say that you thought to him as a person and not only as a work done to pay with cash. :) Beautiful masculine design. Great use of your snippets and particularly love the stitched leaves that embellish the plaid paper and the sentiment. Well done!
Hugs, love and peace dear friend. May your days are lovely and happy!
