And here we are into October already. Honestly, the older we get the more quickly time seems to fly! October is Pastor Appreciation Month and a perfect time to remember and extend thanks and gratitude to not only those serving in the ministry but to all those who serve our communities on a daily basis. Where would we be without them all. THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts, to all who serve, help, protect and comfort us. YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

Esther created a deep and rich fall card for today featuring a wreath and lovely leaves and acorns with a sentiment on the inside from our Pastor Appreciation Series.

As for supplies, I'll start at the top and work my way down.

In Esther's own words - here is her "how-to":

"The background is a piece of mixed media paper that's ink smooshed with gathered twigs and walnut stain distress ink. I stamped the leaves from Give Thanks in several places and added text from one of the Scripty Background sets. I added metallic paint splatters and inked the edges in vintage photo distress ink. The stamped wreath is layered over two Tim Holtz die cut wreaths with fussy cut leaves and acorns attached to one corner."
