I just couldn't help myself. I had that fabulous leaf punch sitting out on my desk and just started punching out leaves in different colors and pattern papers. I love how they all look mixed together. I'm not sure what I'm going to make yet, but I think I might need more leaves in more colors. What do you think? What other colors should I use? Simple Leaf Punch - 168164 Price: $25.00 Crumb Cake 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) … [Read more...] about A Little Carried Away
Fall
Happy Fall!
Fall has officially started. And let me tell you, I can already feel the change in temperature. Hooray! We had a brutally hot August here in SoCal so I'm hoping we'll get a nice mild Fall. I still had my Simply Leaves bundle on my desk and I needed a simple thank you card to send to a friend. Stamps and punches to the rescue! I don't always remember that I can stamp on our pattern paper, but when I do I love the look of it. I used one … [Read more...] about Happy Fall!

Simply Leaves
Last week we were in the high 90's and this week will be low 80's. Did my trick of making Fall cards this weekend manifest some cooler weather? Haha! Not sure I'm quite that good. It's likely because we are actually getting closer to Fall. Today I'm using the August Product of The Month, Glow of Harvest pattern paper. This paper has a lovely pearlized finish. You can see a bit of the sparkle in the picture below. I paired it with the … [Read more...] about Simply Leaves

This bundle has matching embellishments with these adorable little ghosts and teeny tiny bats. I used the bats … [Read more...] about Oh My Fright!
Harvest Home Garland
I finally got a chance to finish up the Harvest Home Garland. It took me hours to hot glue all the leaves on the vine. I was trying to keep the leaf shape and colors random, but it's harder than it looks. I ended up with about 20 or so leaves leftover by the time I reached the end of the vine. I added them to fill in wherever I could find space. Once all the leaves were in, I added the pinecones as the last step. This is what the … [Read more...] about Harvest Home Garland
