CTD259 - Grateful For You



I am excited to be hosting my first challenge over on the Color Throwdown Blog! With all the kids heading back to school and the official first day of fall around the corner I chose some pretty, fall colors for us to work with this week.


I created a 12 x 12 scrapbook based on  the Color Challenge.


Up in the corner I added a tag, cut with the Traditional Tags STAX Die-namics, and stamped a sentiment for the Fall Foliage Stamp Set.

Any patterned paper I used is from Echo Park Count Your Blessings.


To create the border of fall leaves I use the Fall Foliage Stamp Set and the coordinating Fall Foliage Die-namics. I stamped a variety of leaves that are in the stamp set and cut them out. I also cut leaves from cardstock, corrugated paper and burlap to added more texture. Then I wrapped Hemp Cord around the page and added a MFT button in Fuse Green.

I hope you get a chance to play along!

You do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge,  just use the closest you have.  Use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown.

MFT's September Rewind - Part 2

Thanks for stopping by for MFT's September Rewind - Part 2! We are using newly released products that are available NOW. You can stop by the MFT Blog for the list of all the designers sharing projects today. 

My first project is a card using the new Doodle Garden Happy Harvest Stamp Set.  


The image is colored with Copics and the colored pencils. The sentiment is from the stamp set, stamped in Red Brick Ink, and cut out with one of the dies in the Mini Tabs Foursome Die-namics.

I created the patterned background with the new Textile Backgrounds Stamp Set. I stamped with Red Brick Ink onto Red Brick Card Stock. I really like this new color! I used the border die in Blueprints 6 and Kraft Ribbon. The leaves are cut with the leaf dies in the Autumn Wreath Die-namics.


On the inside I stamped another sentiment from the stamp set.


Next up is a scrapbook page featuring a number of new product. The pictures of are three of daughters and their cousin at Lisa's High School graduation party. Love how they like to take silly pictures too!


I used the new Contemporary Roses Stamp Set and coordinating Contemporary Roses Die-namics for the flowers and leaves. The doily in the background is cut with Dainty Doily Die-namics.

The background pattern is created with the new Checkerboard Stencil and Black Licorice Ink.


I used one the great sentiments in the new Sunny Day Doodles Celebrate Life Stamp Set, and cut it out with the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics. The yellow roses is cut out with the Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose Die-namics. I adhered the lace to the paper with Mod Podge.
