Autumn Splendor Projects: Simple Stories

I love Fall. The color pallet,  the sunny yet slightly cooler temperatures and the beautiful paper that is created! 

Simple Stories for the win with Autumn Splendor paper collection. 

Used every last bit!

First up a single page layout featuring our family. With almost 3 years since being together my only birthday wish was to have new family photos. 👪 

Next up is a very adorable mini album. It measures 31/4 x 6.5 and will hold around 35 3x4 photos! To much to photograph so I'll record a short video soon. Watch for that! VIDEO HERE 

Last but not least some cards with matching envelopes. I started using the left over paper to make matching envelopes because why not have beautiful mail!! Have several already spoken for those upcoming September celebrations but there will be several left over which can be purchased at Grannys Antiques and gifts in Antigonish 

Stick it Down post: Hello Pumpkin!

Paper lines and embellishments by Simple Stories- Vintage Blessings; Carta Bella- Fall Break; Echo Park- Celebrate Autumn

Ink by Tim Holtz- Frayed Burlap and Peeled Paint

Tools: Sewing machine, Circle dies, stencil from stash

Techniques include: layering, stenciling, sewing, fussy cutting, die cutting and most of all mixing up lines and embellishments!

Please play along and release your creative inhibitions and join in on the fun challenges over at Stick it Down

Celebrate Autumn

Well this little guy has stole my heart <3

Thumper will be making a debut in several lay-outs as his cuteness is too much and I MUST scrapbook him...even though the inner me thinks I'm crazy, but really???? How can I not!

Used a combination of Simple Stories Vintage Blessings and Celebrate Autumn paper lines and washi tape.

Along with the following items and techniques: Dies (fence, leaves, Tree, doves, doily, arrow); sewing, Vicki Boutin Crayons, Empherma and thickers; paper rounder.

Fall Blessings

This layout is of our daughters family...they hunted for a pumpkin patch and when they found one they could take some photo's at, well lets just say Thumper was the hit for all the young children!

Paper and embellishments used was Simple Stories "Vintage Blessings"

Other material includes: EZ success edge punch, Prima Leave dies, Sewing- free hand circles, Background stamping and ink splats.

It's a new year!

Fall for me has always been one of my most favourite seasons. It represents new beginnings, crisp dew covered mornings, cozy fires, sweaters and time for reflection.

This September I made the decision to leave the design teams I was on (Canvas Corp Brands and Magenta), both of which have been fabulous experiences! I've decided to dedicate more time to my Nursing career and more time spending craft time on doing things just for me, which I will gladly share with you.

I'm also attending a series of crops and events this fall which has me very excited! These I will also share.

On this note, off to work I go!

Have yourself a beautiful day.
