Hello Autumn

Not a lot of crafting this week, I've been busy with other things - (ie; spreading all kinds of autumn cheer all over Tumblr) Just this one little card to share today;

It seems a little lopsided to me, but it's because I was waiting for my black scrunchy ribbon to arrive and it was taking a little too long... (don't you love getting little prezzies in the mail?)

Anyway, I've also been spending a lot of time searching Pinterest for some new things to try, such as... This amazing box album - I wish the video was less show and tell and more how to ( via http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an7BDd7-RBQ ) And Melissa Phillips is always using die cuts made from fun things like fabric and felt - for some reason I've been afraid to try it, but if she keeps doing cute stuff like this, I'm going to have to!

( via http://lilybeanpaperie.typepad.com/ ) There's lots more, but I don't want to over do it! LOL Just so happy that Autumn is here. The temps have gone from "don't step outside or you'll fry" to completely bearable. :-) In fact, some nights we throw open all the doors and windows and just let the Autumn in...

Encore

I know it hasn't been a year yet, but I'm back again - already. Ha ha. I made a trip home over Labor Day weekend, and while I was there, picked up some cute and fun Halloween papers.

I am completely addicted to 6 x 6 paper pads. They are so perfect for card making, and the designs are scaled down to fit the paper size. Couldn't be better! The Doodle Bug one is a favorite - love the colors and the playful designs...

For this one I added a cute little cut out from Graphic 45, and the wheel is from Echo Park - something I've had for a while and been dying to use...

This last one is a little "creepier." I used the Echo Park papers, the cut out label is from Teresa Collins.

Check back again, I'm not through playing yet. :-) .

Howdy

Found some energy to create this past week. The arrival of Autumn always gives me renewed energy and enthusiasm. Autumn colors are my favorite - made this one with an old BG rub-on I had in my stash...

And I've been dying to use this little owl for something fun...

I made this one for my grand daughter, who has a birthday in October - she is my most girly girl, she's all about pink and bling. :-)

Hoping to be a little more productive this fall... .
