Cards with September 2012 Simon Says Stamp

Here are a couple cards I made today with the papers from the September 2012 Simon Says Stamp monthly kit that I got in the mail Friday. I wasn't at all keen on the stamps – very schooly with lots of stars – so I instead used some embellishments from my stash. I was initially lukewarm on the papers but I like the end result of the cards and the sort of soft, folky feel of the combination of patterns in the paper. It's starting to feel like fall here in St. Louis and I like the fall feel of the cards.
