One final stop in the WeScrap forums.

And here’s my Fall Inspired project that I’d like to share with you….

One of my favorite things about Autumn is how the leaves on the trees change colors and fall to the ground. The sounds of the girls laughter as they play amongst the leaves, throwing them in the air.

Here is a layout I created with a tree element. I wanted to make a homemade tree to put on my page. I had this fun picture of Emmy and DD in the leaves. I used this as my inspiration. I grabbed some Co-ordinations paper and sanded it to reveal the tree trunk texture. Next I grabbed some leaves stamps and stamped some leaves on some green paper. I also had a Prima Flower set and cut off the leaves. I popped them up on my tree. I added some glitter to a few of the leaves but, unfortunately, it doesn't show up in this picture.

Check it Out!!

I have been checking out all the latest CHA goodies and there is one tool/machine that I have been drooling over!! I know I don't need one.... BUT.... I want one.

Have you checked out Tim Holtz news die cut machine with Sizzix?

The Vagabond

Check out the video on how it is used: Vagabond Video

I know I am not being sane wanting this because I already have the Sizzix Big Shot and it does almost the same things but without the motor. I just want to look at this sitting on the shelf in my scraproom. It is just so amazingly beautiful!

What do you think?? Leave a comment below to earn a ballot for my monthly draw and I will send a random winner an small RAK of Tim Holtz goodies. You have until the end of the month to leave your comment. You will also earn a ballot for my main prize draw as well!

Blog Hop #1 & Challenge

This is so much fun!! We are going to hop over to my friend Anne Marie Brenner's blog today. She is one of my sponsors this month!! Scrap Sista

Here is what Anne Marie has to say:

"I just turned the big 40 this year arrrrrggg!!!!! No really it’s not so bad. I will be married to a wonderful man for 15 years this July. I have the million-dollar family, one soon to be 14-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl. My family is number 1 to me!!! I have one sister that I get to enjoy lots of laughs and scrapbooking fun with. Her and I get together quite often and scrap away or go away learning new ideas from different classes.

I live in a small town, St. Mary’s and love it. It is beautiful and quiet until we get our machines going hehehe. Our family loves to fourwheel, snowmobile, dirt bike and any other outdoors things. We have a cottage up north about 5 hours away that we love to go to and enjoy family time. No phones, no t.v. just us….. and of course some of my scrappy supplies.

I am a SAHM so I do get to enjoy lots of time to scrap. It really relaxes me and I love to see the joy in my family’s faces when they see my finished projects. I would like to thank Tara for asking me to be a part of her Blog Celebration. Congrats to you Tara!!!!!"

Anne Marie is a Close to my Heart girl. She has offered up a few Idea Books to a lucky blog reader!! If you have ever seen these books then you know how awesome they are. I have to admit that I buy these books each time they come out to see all the wonderful CTMH goodies and to be inspired by all the amazing ways to use stamps!! They have great products.

If you live anywhere near St Marys, Stratford or London then Anne Marie is the person to go to for Close to my Heart products!

Challenge:

Hop on over to Anne Marie's blog and see the challenge she has posted for my Blog Celebration. Email you creation when it's done at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for the celebration draw for one of the 8 sponsored prizes!!

**Anne Marie is offering a RAK to anyone who does the challenge as well. So, that makes two chances to win a prize!! Thanks Anne Marie!
