Be Grateful

We are well into our Fall season at
The Four Seasons and you can create any new project as long as it is FALL.
We have a fun mood board for inspiration full of fall goodness! 

I was inspired by the bottom left pretty florals and pumpkin.
I still have several of my Graphic 45 rub ons and had placed them on some 
cream colored card stock that I had cut into dotted ovals using Tutti Designs dies.
I had a new pretty My Colors Blue Mist card stock I had purchased earlier in the year
which I embossed with a new Sizzix Winter Berries EB folder.  This folder is so
pretty when embossed that I hated covering any of it up.
I didn't do anything else to it and left it pretty simple to be an easy mailer.

Come on over to The Four Seasons and have some FALL fun with us!

Be Merry

 Today is a new challenge at
Love Those Pretty Papers
where the challenge is to use all those pretty designer papers you have
been neglecting or hoarding !!
Our OPTIONAL them is Forest Critters!
But we are an Anything Goes challenge so you can create
anything as long as you use your pretty papers
as your 'main' focus, meaning NOT just a small piece of
designer paper but a lot of DS paper present,
make sense?  

My card came together pretty quickly as I had a scrap of
Martha Stewart left over paper from another project 
sitting on my work desk just waiting to be used.
So, I based my card on that scrap.
For my base I used Eco Parks Have a Holly Jolly Christmas paper.
The scenic paper was popped up as well as my IO deer.

For my anything goes card I used some very old paper from
a pad of My Minds Eye Fine and Dandy (2011).
I have about 20 pads pulled out with just a few remaining
papers in them to use up and this is one of them!

Most of what I used I pulled from my 'blue' stash of
already die cut pieces so am not sure of the name of
each and every piece I used.  But, the frame and birdhouse
are Impression Obsession, the bird is Memory Box
Meadowbird Branch (2015).  The scalloped edge on the 
bird paper is a Sunny Studios die.

So, get out all those pretty papers you have
and come and join us for some
Love Those Pretty Papers fun!!
