Cauleen's Corner

I'm back from my vacation in Hawaii - I've been back for a while, but I had so much to catch up on that I'm just now getting back to the challenges!

Here's a card that I've made for the change of seasons.  I just love the autumn colors that come out at this time of year!

This is also a new card style for me, that my daughter and granddaughter introduced me to - called a Z-Fold - I really like this!  It's different, but still easy enough to remember how to do!  :)

There are quite a few challenges that I can enter this into:
