Many thanks layout

One of my favorite times of the year is fall and I love leaves.  The Many Thanks (d1371) stampset  is so much fun to make different shades of leaves using a rock and roll technique.
You can make them bold colors or soft muted colors by doing a second generation stamping.
Ink Colors I used: goldrush, barn red, and topiary

Paper folded Wreath

I have to share this fun paper folding wreath.  You can add a picture in the center or hang it on the tree as is.  It's amazing how durable they are.
This is the instructional video that will explain how to make it.

Fall Magic layout

Using Close To My Heart's new Magic layout book "Card Slide". I also used the fall 2010 petite perks stamp set on the blue strips and on the pull out tab.


The left side has a tab that say memories that you pull out.  When you pull this out to the left a journal spot comes out to the right.  How cool is that.
