Autumn Mini Album

I enjoyed making this mini album yesterday, as we just got two feet of snow, I liked the fall colors.

 Here is a double page spread with some simple mats and fabric leaves.

Here is the cover, cut from Cricut cartridge. I inked and raised some elements. Please click the picture or watch the you tube video for all the pages of this 6 x 6" top loading s.e.i album.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the US.

Here are a couple things I made today.

A pie to bring to my sister's house and a wreath for our door (I was suppose to make this a couple weeks ago)

Charisma Cardz and Card Patterns Autumn card

My vision was different than what this card turned out to be - but I like it just the same.
I used the Cuttlebug Autumn words Embossing folder and inked a couple key words.

Using my Martha Stewart punch and stamp set I punch the leaves and inked the same image as well. Raised the leaves on foam squares and added some bling from M's I got yesterday.

Entering this in a couple challenge - layout from Card Patterns and Autumn theme at Charisma Cardz

Autumn banner

Made this for my daughter, this completes the season banners for her.
Here is how I made it - I cut 4 x 4 pieces of cardboard from a USPS box I got in the mail.
Punched the holes in the pieces with my crop-a-dial.
Inked all the edges then proceeded to look at my carts for autumn items.
The font I cut the regular and shadow at 1 1/2" from Storybook (Thank you Audrey) and put that aside.
The elements were cut from the following:
A - The apples were cut from Doodlecharms at 2 1/4 and 1 3/4" page 118 key #37
U - The basket was cut from Doodlecharms at 2 1/4" Key #35
T - the leaves were cut from Doodlecharms at 1 1/2" key #34
U - the Pumpkins were cut from A Child's Year page 52
M - The ghost was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up at 1 1/2" 2 3/4", and 3" and the spiders were cut from Designer Calendar page 48 at 1 1/4" and 1 3/4"
N - The turkey was cut from Designer Calendar as well as the Pilgrim hat pg 38

Entering this at Paper Playtime autumn challenge - I just love this time of year here in New England!
oh -and to help me find some icons that I was not sure which page or cart they were on I used. What a big help. You should try it.

Autumn Greetings

Here is the new Sketch at Artsy Fartsy GET SKETCHY

We were to follow this sketch.

The card stock is Kiwi Kiss from Stampin' Up. Stamp images from K & Co, glitter wire ribbon from Michael's. Maple Leaf punch - unknown (had it for years!

Used my glitter pen (love it) to acccent the pumpkins and the leaves.

Celebrate ...... Autumn

Here in New England the trees are changing, so I spent some time last night with my glitter and glue pad and inked this tree (Michael's dollar bin). Took a few tries and some google searching - I guess glossy card stock works best. I was lucky I do not throw anything away. This black glossy piece was a backing or insert to something I had bought.

I used Viv's sketch at Doodle Palace and will also enter it on their blog and Paper Cutz 3 button challenge like the card below.

All similar materials used as in the last card.

I love how the camera flash captured the glitter on the tree.

The orange paper you are seeing is a homemade kind of like mulberry paper, fabulous texture.

Autumn - Just Buggin' die cut challenge

I stopped by Just Buggin' (I am also a follower) and during the Join Us for the Blog Hop!!! We were challenged to take a die cut and alter it.

I altered mine three ways, inked, embossed and bling (rhinestone)

- tree and leaves.

Here is a card - this was a fun one to do - I found an old punch and punch the leaves in multi colors.

Autumn

I used the sketch at http://paperblooms.blogspot.com/2009/09/sketch.html and this new stamp I bought at Michael's (dollar bin) last night.

Base card stock ran through the Cuttlebug Folder, leaves cut from Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge. Imaged under stamp was also cut from Accent Essentions. The rhinestones added from K&Company Brenda Walton collection.
