FALL TIME FINALLY

Oh my it is probably my favorite time of the year next to Spring and this year Fall couldn't have came any sooner...we have had such a HOT summer....ugh....anyhoo today over on the Cafe's blog we are sharing FALL AND AUTUMN projects...have I ever said how much I love my Cafe team...I so appreciate all they do for the blog every month.....

I had been wanting to use the new Minc from Heidi Swapp for FOREVER...so I ended up purchasing myself a Brother (very cheap, like around 60 bucks) laser printer so that I could use the printables and cutting files from the Cutting Cafe with the machine...

CAN I SAY THAT I LOVE THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO FOIL ON CLEAR CARDSTOCK.....

oh my...

I used the following sets on my card: WELCOME FALL (for the basket and leaves), ASSORTED SCALLOPS and FALL AND AUTUMN MINI WORDS.

I still can't believe how pretty the gold foil looks on the clear cardstock.....

Here are a few other FALL cards that I recently made:

USED THE  

HARVEST WREATH GREETINGS - PRINTABLE SET

USED THE 

FALL TIME SENTIMENT SHAPES - PRINTABLE SET

USED THE 

AUTUMN SENTIMENT CARD FRAMES PRINTABLE SET

well thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all of the fall and autumn projects over on the blog here.

FILE FOLDER BOX HOLDER TEMPLATE AND CUTTING FILE

EVERYDAY ELISHA JEAN

Hello all......today I want to share with you my project for the Cutting Cafe's blog. We are featuring projects using the ELISHA JEAN AND FRIENDS sets....
These sets are a group of little girls called Elisha Jean, Ruby J. and Mikala Ann.
There is also another set of BIG GIRLS that you can find here....these girls are approx. 6 inches tall.

Here is my take on the Everyday Elisha Jean:

Since I am still not that good at doing flesh tones I found this awesome flesh tone paper at Paper Source called blush...love it....

Isn't her dress so cute...I love it.
Be sure to check out all of the other ladies and gents projects...go to our blog here.
HERE IS A VIDEO IN MAKING THIS CARD

HALLOWEEN POST IT NOTE SET

Hello all........I am so excited to share with you all a new little tool that so far I LOVE..........
FUSE tool from We R Memory Keepers.......I love making shaker cards so this little tool will come in handy.
Over on the Cutting Cafe's blog for our 7th of the month post we are featuring projects using either of the two sets:
MINI NOTE PAD AND CARD SET or the POST IT NOTE BOX AND COVER SET.

I decided to use the POST IT NOTE set to make a fun set for my daughter for Halloween

I have had these black post it notes foreverrrrrr....I also decided I really wanted to see how the FUSE tool worked; so I made a mini shaker card using the GHOST from the HALLOWEEN AND FALL SHAKER CARDS....it was a bit of trail and error to get it to work...I LOVE HOW IT CAME OUT.
Be sure to check out the blog this week to see all of the other dt's projects...hugs
