This is about as under the wire as I've ever posted!!!

I have some OLD Making Memories paint. Some of it I had to throw away...rock solid!!!


But these colors survived/

I need to try this again when I have more time and better paint to play with!

OCTOBER 2018 BLOG HOP


MY lack of pumpkins is catching up with me. I MUST remedy that...next year!


 Bold Borders: Foliage Die is so darn pretty. I cut it from Classic Kraft and took an ink blending tool and added color! 
Say It Simply: Giving Thanks Die is the sentiment.


A very simple but very pretty card. These are my Thanksgiving cards for my Card sale which is November 8. I have more cards and merchandise this year than I have ever had.
I have been making cards and treat containers and not doing work around the house like I should...oh well...

Thank you for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY #336: FAUX GILDED LEAVES


Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include faux gilding like Laurie shared in the video.

Laurie CLEARLY said use what you have...so I did. I sure wish I had her copper embossing powder, tho...

I used a brown, gold and Grapefruit Zing embossing powder.
Leaf Prints is so pretty and I comes out every fall around here.


A pop of pink or copper 😢 is necessary for realistic fall leaves.
I have been to New Hampshire in the fall, they are so vibrant in color.
My husband grew up there. SO pretty



Wood-grain stencil was my background.


Totally love the idea of gilding the fall leaves.
It is my favorite time of the year!!!



Here is my first Dashing Through the Snow sleigh...SO pretty!!!

Thank You for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY 334: GLITTER INLAYS


Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include glitter inlays like Lexi shared in the video.

Lexi has the best Make it Mondays!!!

I am glad to have this one. I LOVE the glitter behind my favorite Mix & Mat

 I have also used the daylights out of Dawns Posie Play/
LOVE it too!

I have had a request from my card buying ladies to make some cards with no sentiment!!!
The card didn't photograph well with no sentiment so I wedged this die cut in.
I plan on stamping off some Keep It Simple banners with various sentiments if they want to add one to the card they choose.


Aqua Mist and Hibiscus Burst are so pretty together.


I'll be making a few of this one!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

So if you do this technique, use darker colors like Dawn used...not lighter colors like I used...

Grans Garden and Dawn's new Say it Simply Birthday die cut.


VERY faint, but it is there. Shows up better in person.

STAMP-A-FAIRE 2018: WRAP-UP




What a fun day.
I liked it a lot more that I thought I would.



Here are my completed projects!


I cannot get over how much I like my watercolor poppy, the travelers journal and the pop-up box. I knew I would love Dawns set. Man, it is so pretty, I wish I had it. I had made paper before so I knew that was fun. And I had made Lizzies flowers before. But it all was a great combination for the Kansas farm girl that has a black thumb and cannot grow a darn thing!!
Thank you Papertrey Ink for your innovative products, amazing design team and incredible service to your loyal customers!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

                                        I an neither a seamsterss or a journal maker. I asked if we could make a paper one and they graciously said yes, so here is mine!

       

I used the dimensions from the pages you can buy from Papertrey Ink
Fun Frames was the centerpiece and a Mandalas flower was the decoration

\

It is bound with bookbinders twine,

STAMP-A-FAIRE 2018: GARDEN WHIMSY POP-UP BOX WITH LEXI DALY


Wowzers!!!
This one gave me a headache!!!


I did not buy the kit so I had to use the template.
It was pretty straight forward. I used my paper trimmer as much as I could.



I hand cut my grass and the flowers we all from the mini button dies.


Overall, I"m pretty happy with it considering I didn't have the dies
Not sure time-wise I'll make them to sell!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

3 flowers..Rustic wreath as its base.


I do want to make more flowers because they do make pretty bottle tags!
