I took images from the Crafty Secrets See You Soon digital kit and colored them with my software program. I placed in the lower corner of the scene "see you soon" from the kit. After printing, I added final touches with Copic markers (including autumn leaves).
The sentiment "Good-bye Summer!" was computer generated and punched with a Stampin' Up label punch.
I chose a dress color and cardstock to give an autumn feel. Patterned paper is Basic Grey Ambrosia--very old from my stash. The flowers represent the warm summer sun. Materials are old, from my stash (paper, gems, ribbon, Maya Road Winter Jewel Flowers). Lovin' that I'm using them up.

Such a sweet way to wish goodbye to summer! Your color choices were perfect for your grandchildren, but there is also a certain sophistication to the piece. I am excited for Halloween and autumn crafting. My favorite season!
So sad to say goodbye to summer - even if I do love the autumn crafting colours. Love your gently nostalgic page - it will be perfect alongside the page of summer photos of your grandchildren.

Beautiful image for your gorgeous card! Very sweet how they are saying goodbye to summer! Fall is my favorite time of the year and I welcome the cooler temps!

I love the combination of the image with the sentiment - so smart! Such a pretty card, too. So glad you linked up at my first ever challenge so I could come by and see you!
Very sweet! Love how the children are reaching for the "sun". Really neat!
Now what a great idea!! I love that you send salutations to the seasons in a scrapbook. The image you chose is absolutely perfect. Your digital work is amazing too. My Dad and his girlfriend have a 'changing of the seasons' ceremony whereby my dad hums pomp and circumstance as his girlfriend walks down the hallway and changes the framed picture on the wall to whatever season it is. It's quite dramatic...and hysterical. Once she tripped and jabbed a hole in the wall. I think I'll stick with your awesome scrapbook version myself!

Thanks for joining in the fun at YNS and sharing your take on sketch #23. The flowers throughout your card really pull everything together. The orange is a great choice to represent the end of summer.
