Real Leaves!


Yesterday was a beautiful Autumn day here.  As I looked out my office window, the tree in the front yard was so brilliant that I had to take a picture of it.  When I stepped out of the garage, the tree at the side was just as gorgeous.  The photo on the left includes the tree in the front yard with the tree in the side yard beyond it.  The photo on the right is a photo of just the tree in the side yard.  As many of you know, I truly love the colors of the changing leaves.  With the sun shining on them, these trees were absolutely magnificent!  I hope they brighten your day as much as they have mine the past few.  Have a great day!

4 Squares

The stamp set in last month's My Paper Pumpkin is very cute and I wanted to use it for more than the little tags on the bags. So last night I created this pretty Fall card.  I inked each of the little stamps with SU Many Marvelous Markers and then cut perfect squares using our square framelits.  I embossed a Mossy Meadow piece of cardstock using the brick wall folder and adhered that to a Cajun Craze card base.  Some linen thread and dimensionals for the stamped images completes the card.  The Brick Embossing Folder is certainly being put to good use.  Have a great day!

My Little Paper Pumpkin

I have posted things I made with the monthly subscription, My Paper Pumpkin.  Well today I am posting a photo of the little paper pumpkin I made after watching the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers.  I started out with paper strips that measured 11" x 1" but due to my messing it up, I took the pumpkin apart and cut the strips down to 8" x 1".  The leaves are from Lawn Fawn's Small Stitched Leaves dies and the stem of the pumpkin is a small piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock run thru the crimper and then rolled up and adhered to the top of the pumpkin.  The pumpkin itself was glued to a scallop circle which I used as the base.  It really is much cuter in person, but you get the idea!  Have a great day!
