Cherish

Hi friends! Wowzers!!! November 1st, holy macaroni almost the end of the year. Live life folks it goes by in a snap!

I'm here with a layout and a pocketletters. My layout is for the music challenge over on scrapbook.com, my song was Did You Fall In Love With Me by Praire Oyster. Very sweet song. I pulled the title and used it as an embellishment.

My papers are from Blue Fern's Sanctuary line along with their chippie, also lots of misting from Lindy's -

That's me and the hubs at 15 and 17!

Now for my pocketletters I did for swapsies. One was a Autumn the other was Mary Engelbreit who I love -

They become a fabulous story that you send to your pal. I'm addicted!

Pocketletter Fun!

OMG gang!!! It's been three months since I've checked in, holy macaroni! Somehow the summer came and went without a single post from me. I think that's a good thing...

Any way I have a pocketletter to share with you that traveled all the way to India! A sweet gal on the Pocketletter website reached out to me and we swapped. That's the beauty of these letters. You connect with awesome peeps all over the world!

We decided on Graphic 45 for the theme, but our choice of line. I did French Country. I really love this line and have several pieces horded.

I really love making these sweet letters. If you haven't tried it go to Youtube and search them our got to the Pocketletter site and see for yourself.

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Well hello friends! I'm here to share this fun fall layout I did for the Autumn Bliss challenge on Scrapbook.com. I'm also putting it in the hoard challenge too since I used a Bo Bunny line that I've had for a few years. I have decided to really try and be conscientious about using my stash which is at an insane level. There is also a video to go along with this layout. Here are the pics -

I made the metal mat with an embossing folder and metal tape that you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. I then stained it with Distress stains, alcohol inks and some brown paint. The flowers and leaves were made with a combo of Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves, Susan's Garden, Heartfelt Creations stamps and die sets Sun Kissed Fleur and Delicate Aster. The flourishes are Tim Holtz Elegant Flourishes die. There's some faint stamping in the background, Prima's brick stamp and Stampin Up's French letter stamp. I cut the title with my cricut using my gypsy to weld the letters from the Ashley cart and the twig from the gypsy wanderings cart that came with the gypsy. This was a great memory apple picking last year at the local orchards. As you can see my kids are big time hams!
