I got to play with paper a couple of days this week. Yay, me! Completed five double page LO's. For this first one, I was inspired by the Scrapbook & Cards Today fall sketches by Allison Davis. That big pumpkin spoke to me! Other fall sketches can be found HERE Here is my LO. I didn't stitch, but I did create the leaf design with stamps and cut the "pumpkin" with my old CM cutting system ovals.
POINTS: two 12x12 pages (40), created & shared (4). Eight photos scrapped for the Donna challenge (8). P-15 cb sticker, T-7 backed ovals, T-8 diecut title letters, T-22 custom cs on pumpkin, Th-9 pumpkin decorating, N/S-4 different sized photos. Total: 58

I’ve been sharing these cards in the Hanukkah supplies/vent thread in the stamping board but here’s the whole lot in one post. I used a ColorPlay collection to make 50 cards to donate. I’ve never made Hanukkah cards before but I’m happy to think of 50 Jewish seniors getting a nice holiday greeting this December. http://instagram.com/p/CzE0lJdvB-0 |

grammadee - love the sketch you used for the pumpkin layout and those fall colours are perfect! Great job using old tools I like the tree border unifying the two sides for you are my happy (great title too) The pops of teal are perfect with the softer blues in the photos from the foto shoot great use of torn edges for the boys layout and the waffles layout - love them both kitbop - perfect colours for the perfection layout - and those glittery title letters couldn't be more perfect - love it Keeping up with the Jones - I love how you contrasted all the colours and patterns in the lower half of the layout with the focus on the photo above! @grammdee - those polar pals are adorable! Cardtober 15 -is so elegant with the embossing. love the box card - it looks perfect. I find them so tricky. Love that cluster on the autumn blessings card. Did you stamp the Noel card or stencil? either way - it's lovely. That poinsetta card is striking -with the flower against the white (embossed?) love the little deer and your ink blending is lovely for the reflection. What a great idea to recycle the mask for a second awesome card. craftymom101 - beautiful layout! Those candy cane cookies are ones I made as a child also and they are DS32's favourite joblackford - those Hannukah cards are sure to be appreciated. And the mix and mingle cards are very festive! joyfulnana - black and white with pops of red - one of my favourite colour schemes. I love how you fit in so many photos joblackford - I'll need to check out that sheetload - I love the cards you made with it. grammadee - shaped card - lovely and the colours are so wintery and peaceful the set of cards are all very nice but I really love the cardtober 14 cards with the snowflakes! The flap cards are neat - I love the variety of cards you make.

Here are some more random cards. The SS ephemera is really hard to use in comparison to Doodlebug, too fussy and detailed in relation to the papers, but I used some of them.  Nov share by jo.blackford, on Flickr  Nov share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

but that Santa is awesome! Thanks  He was part of a 6x8 sheet that looked like a magazine cover with words across the top and down the left side. I didn't realize I could crop him down to card size and cover the remains of the words with a ho ho ho until I had already cut up the other sheet or I would've made two! I really like how he turned out too. |

Time for me to take some time to look at what the rest of you have been creating. I will start at the bottom of page 5 and move upward. Linda , it was so nice to spend a couple of hours crafting with you on line today. I am always amazed at how great your photos are and how well your pages come together around them. Those fireworks pic's are stellar! And they stand out so well on the red. Love the story about the surprise pumpkin; great layering and perfect embellishments. The sunsets look so peaceful, and the orange, grey and black layers really pull out the colours. Swimming photos are difficult to take, but yours are great and I love your clusters. Love that Nessie monster you created and all the blues and greens on that page. craftymom101 I literally have to sit on my credit card not to pull it out and order a kit when I see what you have done with it! Did you recognize some of the October kit in a couple of LO's I just posted. Buying that one was YOUR fault! Love love love your leaf clusters and cool banner. And of course those sweet photos steal the show on Carter's page. joblackford , your cards are all wonderful. Love how no matter what basic card plan you use, the focal is always fun and the greeting is front and centre. Great colour combo's. Your SLoC sets really have me wanting to give that design a try. Awesome work! joyfulnana there is love for that Green Belt page in Flickr already. Linda , your page about your young artistes is beautiful! Love those plaid papers and the cat cutouts are adorable. I like how you place your photos on your LO's--so nicely balanced. And you always seem to find the perfect papers to mat them on. Great change-up with the diagonal page design. I always think what fun your albums must be to page through. Love the embossing on that wedding card--makes it so simple and elegant. Your wall hangings are really special--that turtle design is awesome! craftymom101 that festive Christmas baking page looks good enough to eat! kitbop your dance pages really reflect the joy your dd feels when dancing. Will be looking for those on Flickr too. |

I love your two-page layouts, but the I Love Fall Most of All is so eye catching! Gorgeous! Thankyou so much. I started with an Allison Davis sketch in the fall SCT magazine. And with the sketch and the pages in the kit that worked so well together it was really fun to put together. |
