Fabulous Fall

Good morning Scrapbook Friends! I had so much fun working with the Pathfinding papers, assortments and beautiful fall stamp sets! I have completed a series of 4 two page layouts! These fabulous fall layouts will be ideal for all of your fall activities...trips to local pumpkin farms, apple picking, Thanksgiving gatherings and my favorite, playing in piles of leaves!! They will be great to show off your photos of all the beautiful fall foliage too!! No limits!!
This project will highlight the use of those amazing little daubers! You will also learn how to create a colorful background for your projects using ink, acrylic blocks and a little water.

                                                       FABULOUS FALL LAYOUT

This layout is one of my favorites!! I used the Artbooking cartridge to cut create the beautiful tree and photo mats. And a bit of glitter paper adds just the right touch! This Fabulous Fall layout kit can be purchased separately or as part of the complete Pathfinding Workshop.

                                             PATHFINDING WORKSHOP LAYOUTS

This layout was created using the Pathfinding Workshop on the Go. I used a bit of glitter paper and my Posterboard Alphabet (discontinued) to add a few extra details.


This layout is also from the Workshop on the Go. I fell in love with the Fall Harvest stamp set and went crazy making lots of leaves to embellish this page.


This page was inspired by a fellow consultant (Jacquelin Green). I had THE best time creating the embellishments for this page! And I can't wait to teach you how!
I wish the pictures did these layouts justice. You cannot get the full effect here. The colors are so much nicer, richer, when you see them! 
This project actually has 2 titles, Fabulous Fall (the first layout) and Pathfinding Workshop and there are a variety of kits to choose from. My layouts were completed using the Pathfinding Workshop and Fabulous Fall Project kit combo. Regardless of the kit you choose, you will be able to complete your layouts as stamping and technique work will be done at the beginning of the class using my stamps. Your completed projects may vary slightly depending on your kit selection.

I will start with the Fabulous Fall layout. There are 2 kit options available for this two page layout.

Little Secrets!

Hello Scrapbook Friends! I have been so busy posting on the Facebook page that I have neglected the blog! I will get it figured out, promise!!
Yesterday we had the first Scrapbook workshop of "our season"!! It was wonderful being reunited with everyone! We had a GREAT turnout and I can't wait for the October workshop!! It is going to be awesome!! But, I must admit, I was a bit tired today! I unloaded the car this morning and got everything back in its proper place early this evening. I really wanted to work on something but didn't have the energy to be overly creative. So...I pulled out last month's Paper Pumpkin. I know, a Close to my Heart consultant supporting the "competition"!! Unheard of right? Well, the way I see it, when I support my fellow small business partners (this one being my daughter), they in turn will support me! And quite frankly, there are a million wonderful products and even more wonderful ideas, to build your own business and expand your creativity!!
Anyway, my Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit came with an abundance of supplies! And once I got going and assembled the kit as directed, I decided to use what was left and create a few more cards using my Close to my Heart products!! And in doing so, I remembered there was a great technique I had forgotten to share with you!!!
I pulled out a piece of Confetti Wishes B&T paper, my thistle and canary inks, and continued assembling the cards as I had been doing. The cards were adorable! I was able to modify things a bit using my sponge dauber to accent the banners (the pink on the reverse side was a horrible match). When it came time to add the finishing touches I was momentarily frustrated though, because I did not have the right color bling to accent my cards. AND I LOVE BLING!! But, then it came to me....using my ShinHan twin touch marker (peony purple) I could color my clear bling for a perfect match!!! That's right! You can use your markers to color your bling for a perfect match for any project!!!
Enjoy the tip!! And have a great night!!!

Bonnie
