Two page layout - "Fall Fun"

Hello, November! I have another Scarlet layout to share with you from last fall.

My son and daughter-in-law carved out the pumpkin, plopped her in, and started shooting pictures. I'm sure it was a little slimey and cold, but she doesn't seem to mind it. The paper is Authentique, Bazzill and My Minds Eye (orange Chevron). I used scissors to cut along the Chevron line on the top and bottom edge of the accent paper.

I used patterned paper for the tree of circles cut with my Cricut. The negative space between the scalloped circles was the perfect spot for some journaling. Then, I cut out a BUNCH of tiny leaves and added them in a diagonal spray across the two page layout.

A few gemstones among the leaves add additional texture and dimension. 

The border on the left is made with three punched scalloped circles of reversible paper. I cut them in half to line the left side of the 8 x 10.

 

 

 

Fall cards: Trees, Flower, & Owl

Time sure has flown since my last post. Life is so good, and very busy! Unfortunately, not much time for craftiness lately.

Purchased the above tree trunk stamp at my BSBFF's garage sale. WIN! Love the way this turned out. Could be used in so many different ways for all of the different seasons. Simple recipe: Stamp 3 different fall colors with a grungy splotch stamp; stamp tree trunks in foreground; dab on clear crackle distressing medium (Tim Holtz) for texture; dry with heat gun.

I made this one awhile back, but never posted. Used one of my favorite new dry embossing folders for the background texture. The stamp, punches, and decorative brad are all SU products. I like all of the layers, and the partial bracket punch in matching cardstock for the sentiment.

This one is actually a baby card, but would also be great for fall. Whooooo doesn't love owls?? The owl and branch are from Hoot n Holler cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a fantastic fall weekend. I'm heading to BSU to enjoy a possibly rainy football game with my family.
