A Fall Banner with Clear Scraps and My Mind's Eye~

Hi !!!!

I have a Fall Banner to show you using the acrylic 5 piece Banner set by Clear Scraps.

Clear Scraps is partnering with My Mind's Eye this week, so I had some awesome paper's and embellishments to decorate the Banner with.

Take a look~

 I had such fun putting this together.  The wood grain My Mind's Eye papers were perfect for this. They screamed Fall to me.  The trim is stripes of material with twine added.

 The large letters were stamped using the script background stamp by Darkroom Door.

  Loved the look it gave the letters. There is some Maya Road on the Banner too, but mostly My Mind's Eye and Clear Scraps.

Beacon 3-In-1 glue was used on the large embellishments.

The pumpkin and crow are Sizzix dies by Tim Holtz.

Try It Tuesday~carving a Pumpkin, my way!

Hi guys!!

I have a fun project for you to try.  Carving a Pumpkin~ sound easy? It is!!

First draw one, then draw it on rubber~

That is the first step to carving a Pumpkin stamp :):) 

 I like carving this kind of Pumpkin~ no mess!!! And it doesn't rot after a few weeks.

I'm calling this my Fall set!!! The Pumpkin leaves are so small, I mounted each leaf

 on a cork, so I would have a better handle when stamping with them.

  Worked great!!!

I did two projects using this set~

A couple of cards~

I used Darkroom Door background stamp/wire and

 the sentiment stamp is by Avocado Arts.  The ink is by Ranger.

Next project~

You always have cupcake topper's if you own stamps:):)

Thanks for stopping by~

See ya soon~

I have some fun stuff to share using Clear Scraps and Echo Park.

 Awesome acrylic and awesome paper:)

All you need is the Arrow mini album by Clear Scraps.  Some super cute

Echo Park and you have what you need to make these Place Seating cards.

the house.  Decorated the front and put the names of my grands on each one.

Live simply, a card ~ with Darkroom Door.

Hi guys!!!

Have a cute card using the Photo Stamp/Bicycle by Darkroom Door. 

 I pulled out my paper scraps, so it will be hard to tell you the paper I used.  Any paper looks good with these stamps:)

I used brown and black ink by Ranger.  I also used the Coffee Stain stamp by Darkroom Door.

When you need just a little something more, this is a great "go to" stamp!  One of my favorites!!!

Coffee Stain by Darkroom Door!! The sentiment is from the Enjoy the Ride set by Darkroom Door.
