Ideas for scrapping your Fall photos!

Wow! what a month it has been with family visiting & graphic design commitments work piling up. I feel like I am so behind on my scrapbooking related blogging...sigh!

Oh well here goes.

November was filled with the October Hip Kit Club kits. Gorgeous fall colors, lovely patterned papers, stickers, die cuts, ephemera from Pebbles Inc & Pink Paislee....and I managed to create 7 pages this month. Go ME!!! :D

Here are 5 of them (I'll post the other two tomorrow):

Fall Paper Crafting Ideas!

I hope you are having a super week & enjoying some beautiful fall weather where ever you are?

With the richness of fall leaves & trees heavy with color, it goes without saying that it would be the perfect place to go to for crafty inspiration!

This is a fun project I worked on last year for Fancy pants Designs, but never posted it here on my blog. I just love this wall-art...especially all those cute letterpress/ printed leaves using the +Fiskars FUSE, letterpress & die cutting system, and thought you might find it inspiring for your fall decor.

You will need the following supplies:

•    Happy Go Lucky 6x6 Paper Pad
•    Happy Go Lucky Ephemera Pack
•    Leaf & Flower dies
•    Die-cutting machine (I used the FUSE from my friends at Fiskars)
•    Ink (if you are letter pressing your shapes)
•    A dried Twig
•    Brown & cream twine
•    Fishing gut
•    Glue 
•    Tape

Whilst I was busy making leaves, I made a whole bunch extra, enabling me to create this fall page too :)

Little Fox cut file for FREE!

Hello lovely crafters...

I hope you are having a fabulous Friday wherever you might be?

Today I have a cute FREE cut file to share with you. I made it for the Foxy, fall inspired page call & was ecstatic to have it picked up & published in the Papercrafts & Scrapbooking September 2014 issue magazine.

Supplies: +Fancy Pants Designs & +AmericanCrafts

If you are wondering why my photos aren't too crisp, it is because I printed them onto canvas paper for a change. I love the rough, more rustic finish!

This is a close up of the little fox. I used russet cardstock, on top of a white background with a dark chocolate background. The title looks best in a mixture of colors.

Let me know if you use the cutfile. I'd LOVE to see your work!

Have an awesome weekend!
