Happy Fall Y'all at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back for another Die Cuttin' Diva Challenge.

This Week's Challenge...

A Photo to Inspire

My Design Team Project...

Although it is not Autumn yet, nor does the weather fell like it...I am looking forward to the cooler weather. I have been trying to stay fit and I go out early in the morning before the heat index increases. When the fall does finally arrive it will be so much nicer to get out and walk.

I just love this saying...must be a southern thing! I say "Y'all" way too much even though I know I shouldn't with school. It just rolls off your tongue without thinking about...I have been in the south for way too long!  

 

Then, I added green glitter glue to the rolling stems...my daughter says they look like Cinderella's pumpkins now. 

Here is the the photo for you to use for inspiration for this challenge. LOTS of options!

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Photo Inspiration" challenge. The other design team members have done an amazing job with their creations, so be sure to check them out! Plus we have a new Diva...Dusty! Stop by to tell her "Hi".

Hope you will join the challenge this week!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Falling for You

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

I just love when Carri and I can work out some mutual crafting time, especially since our schedules are so hectic now. She is volunteering in her daughter's class, so she has been grading lots of papers and understands what I go through every day. I told her I would wake up early and have my stack (I even sent her a picture so she would feel bad for me.) done before she gets up since we are in different time zones. We were able to find some fall challenges with leaves, which was perfect since it is my favorite season.

This tree is very intricate, but the branches are perfect for autumn.

This is a Studio G stamp. I bought it on clearnace last year and I am very surprised how nicely it stamped.

Materials:

My Mind's Eye paper ~ All Spice 6x6 stack

brown card stock

"Just Because " Cards ~ circles cut at 3 1/4" and 3"

Heritage Cricut cartridge ~ tree (p. 24) cut at 2 1/2"

Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge ~ leaves (p. 115) cut at 1"

Create a Critter Cricut cartridge ~ pumpkin (p. 70) cut at 1/2"

cappaccino twine

brown gems

Studio G stamp

brown ink

Time to Be Thankful

Good Morning,

What a wonderful time of year it is. The weather has cooled off, the leaves have changed colors, and the holidays are approaching. We are already planning Thanksgiving here. We always go to my husband's parents, which I truly enjoy. Now is the time to thank your family, friends, and co-workers for all they have done for you.

Our challenge this week is...Let's Be Thankful.

I made a card using traditional fall colors and what I enjoy most about this time of year...the beautiful leaves.  

Materials:

Me & My Big Ideas paper ~ Copper Willow pad

burnt orange card stock

Kate's ABCs cartridge ~ scalloped sqaure

Wild Card cartridge ~ sentiment

beige lace

leaf buttons

beige gems

I hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week to share your "Let's Be Thankful" projects.

Have a great day,

Georgiana
