Wild About Winter

 A great way to use up many pieces of journaling tags is to use them for layering.

 

 Another easy way of layering will be inking and stamping.

So Cozy

Gabrielle Pollacco

  A photo I took of my youngest daughter when we were at Niagara Falls a couple weeks back, Meg's was chilled so she took my sweater/scarf and started hamming up with it.

 For one of my clusters I thought I would create a little pocket to slip my photo into. I just cut a slit into the paper and stitched near the edge, glued a bit of piping (fabric) along the edge and added some brads to create a fun pocket element.

 I love using the new Bo Bunny blooms and dimensional Cardstock stickers in groupings/clusters.
Designer Tip: A great way to differentiate two cluster/areas on a page is to paint/drybrush or stamp behind the photo area, it draws the eye into the photo.

Stamps: Ad Lib, Smoochable

Jewels: Barefoot & Bliss

12" Chipboard: Alora

I took one blossom from the Orange Pansy package and took it apart. I used the petals as balloons and Stamped the strings with the Smoochable stamp set.

Tip: The background was a little empty for my taste. I took the "Celebrate text stamp" (from the Ad Lib Collection) and stamped birthday text in different colors to go with the birthday theme / balloons. )

What fun ideas! We'd love to see the embellishments you make. Post your projects on our Facebook page. And have a happy November!! (I can't believe it's already here!)

DON'T FORGET

What are your traditions?

Do you have a fun fall or Halloween tradition??

I do.  I have a big porch and I love, love, love to decorate it.

I buy hay bales, gourds & corn stalks.  I collect pumpkins and fall leaves.

I have bushel baskets full of pine-cones and fall pics.

Then I arrange it all into a little scene and I kinda just wanna hang

out there.  It's so inviting.

Today we have projects/layouts inspired by

Fall & Halloween & Traditions!

Witch Hat 

by Jolanda Meurs

 Check out the Bo Bunny Blossoms on this hat....

 Tip: Punch out about 12 circles. Fold them in half and glue them together until you get this Pumpkin.

Trick O Trunk
Debbie Sherman

 Journaling reads: Trunk O Treating is a tradition that has been in this family for years!

Designer tip: Using patterned paper to make embellishments for your layout is an 

easy way to make your layout coordinate. Cut out the patterns and pop them up 

with foam squares to give them dimension.

Bo Bunny Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Apple Cider Hickory, Apple Cider, Afternoon, Pumpkin Patch, Dot
Cardstock: Double Dot in Licorice Dot
Brads: Apple Cider
Flowers: Apple Cider Market Petals
Chipboard: Apple Cider 12 x 12, Apple Cider Layered Chipboard

Unforgettable Halloween 
Juliana Michaels

  

 Designer Tip: The spiders were cut from black cardstock using a die cut machine. I then applied a layer of glossy accents. While this "glue" was still wet, I sprinkled a combination of fine and chunky black glitter on them. Once dry, I adhered them to the layout using double sided foam tape for more dimension. I also added glossy accents to the letters on the title sticker. Another technique I used was to remove the center of the Serenity Trinkets and replaced them with a top of a brad. I used wire cutters to remove the prongs on the brad to make it easier to attach them

 Bo Bunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Bounty/Apple Cider; Enchanted/Enchanted

Cardstock: Dot Journal in Grape and Double Dot in Licorice

Stickers: Follow Your Heart Cardstock Stickers/Enchanted

Trinkets: Serenity

Halloween Teacher Treats
