Gratitude Notecards: November Acorns

I decided that after a year of using scrap paper bits to fill my gratitude jar, I’d like some special little notecards. I’ve been designing some table place cards for Thanksgiving and thought the acorn picture would be a perfect fit for these little cards. I finished the design by putting my favorite gratitude prompt at the top in a rich chocolate-brown color. Now that I’m looking at them, I bet these could also double as little thank-you cards – bonus!

I printed the cards above on a medium-weight textured card stock. If you’d like to print your own, you can download an 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of these notecards from the Download Gallery for free. If you would prefer to order the cards, you can get a set of 31 cards, printed on the textured cardstock shown above, for $6 (includes shipping) in The Normal Girl Shop.

Freebie Download: November 2013 Calendars

While out on a walk this past weekend, I saw this little, fallen leaf on the sidewalk and snapped a picture. I know that for many of my readers, Autumn is in full swing and fallen leaves are a normal sight by now but this is the first fallen leaf of the season for me. You see, in Florida we get started on the Fall season a bit late around here…most of our trees are still lush with green even though Halloween is just days away and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. So in the spirit of the cold front that has rolled in and lowered our afternoon temperatures to a “chilly” 75°F, here’s a freebie download for November featuring the first fallen leaf of the season. Happy Autumn!

Below the Tree – Texture, Pattern, Color Palette v.1

I’ve always loved the idea of looking at everyday objects and finding inspiration in them. I often find myself looking for interesting textures, patterns and colors that evoke an emotion or response from me. This is a palette that I recently put together using photos from a few things that I found beneath a sycamore tree.
