Studies in shades of brown

I have been tidying out the cupboard in my craftroom today. It was full of boxes of 'stuff' belonging to my son, from way back. It has probably sat in there for years. I phoned him today to see if he wanted any of it and the answer was to get rid of it all. I should have done it ages ago. But it does feel good to have some extra space, albeit not a lot.  The bed is still covered with things that I'm not sure what to do with, but that will no doubt disappear soon hopefully.
Here are a couple of cards I made today, between tidying up.
Both have Stampin Up images and the same American Crafts Elements ribbon and the first one also uses a Cuttlebug leaf die.
Everybody Art - Autumn
Both could be considered for the theme of Coffee and Cream at  Paperplay Challenges,  and the second one also uses the sketch from Eat, Sleep Stamp.

    What lovely cards you have created....I always wonder how much stuff of my kids I should hold on to. I think it always memories for me rather than them.
