Leaves Are Falling

I love Autumn.  Are you getting tired of me saying that?  Sorry.  But I just love all the colors, smells, and our nice warm temperatures.  Did you ever jump in piles of leaves when you were a kid.  So much fun !  We had a huge maple tree near our house when my kids were growing up.  Every fall they spent hours raking the leaves in a pile and jumping in. 
I also love this sentiment.  If we break our lives into seasons, I am in the Autumn.  And I can attest to this statement that God is good all the time.  Even when I go through tough times, He is still good and has my best interest in mind.  Psalm 34 verse 8 says " Oh, put God to the test and see how kind He is!  See for yourself the way His mercies shower down (my note: like Autumn leaves) on all who trust Him."



This is a sketch at Stamp TV.  The tree and sentiment are GKD stamps.  All the leaves, except for the metal one, are punched out and layered on to of each other.  DP is a scrap.  I backed the sentiment piece and the DP piece with yummy brown kraft card stock from Kraft Outlet.
