Tuesday Tutorial # 20 Fall Panel Card

I finally got another Tuesday Tutorial completed. It has been such a challenge for me to update my blog lately. It just seems like I keep getting things 'thrown' at me.

I got rear-ended last week, so now I am doing doctor visits/ physical therapy twice a week and now on top of it I have a cold that is slowing me down. I guess it is true that when it rains, it pours!

Here's the card I created

You can get the tutorial now by using this link.

Scrapbook Sunday

Here's another fun fall scrapbook page. It would be fun to have a big leaf rake against the tree trunk background. I would've had to hand draw and cut one...don't know if Cricut has one available on a cartridge or not. I used two Stampin' Up! stamp sets; Acorny Thank you and Vintage Leaves.

I used the Fringe scissors to create the grass. I used two layers of grass in two different colors. The darker color is behind (Garden Green and Always Artichoke).
I used Tip Top Taupe for 2 of the acorns...it looks gray in this photo. It is a tad browner in actuality.

I would also use this layout with a portrait layout photo. That would even leave enough room for a journal card. You could also do a two page layout with the second page layout being opposite of this one. 

This page has enough room to move the photo down a tad and add a headline and/or you could also add a caption box underneath the photo.

Scrapbook Sunday # 16 Pretty Pumpkin Page

Today I am revisiting last week's page. I repeated the design with the Vintage Leaves stamp set on the edge of the page, then I used the Everything Eleanor swirl over the rest of the page. I created a pumpkin with the Oval Collection framelits and stamped it with Flowering Flourishes. 

I like how it turned out.

I used Crumb Cake ink on the pumpkin, Soft Suede ink on the leaves and VersaMark ink on the swirls.

Scrapbook Sunday # 15

I am still getting caught up from vacation and being sick.
Here is Scrapbook Sunday page #15:
I used Vintage Leaves to stamp along the sides and bottom. You could do this same thing on a cream background and vary the color of the leaves. I wanted it to be muted and plain so that it wouldn't distract from the photo. I used a mask to mask the leaves when I stamped over them.

Thanks for not giving up on me during my absence!
