Here's some more of the lovely cards that I made using some pressed leaves that were given to me by a fellow church member. She's saved up many of them in books throughout her life and she brought some by my house recently, so I have been making lots of cards using them.
I try to keep the cards very plain and simple so that the beauty of nature alone stands out. I walk outside everyday still, though in summer I am often limited to at best 3 hours during the day, it's usually well over 100 when I stop. But I walk under huge beautiful trees and I am just amazed when I think about how old they are, how they grew from the tinest of seeds, how they provide air for us to breathe, shade for us to walk under, fruit/nuts for us to eat (here in TX I am seeing mostly pecans/peaches) in my area. Trees really are a miracle when you think about it.

Lovely idea Holley.
When my kids were at school and hubby at uni, I used to collect the autumn coloured leaves, laminate them and use them as book covers/protectors. They are still the same colours today..
