The November kit is called Autumn Glow and it's a lovely mix of papers from Basic Grey, Prima, Crate Paper, Melissa Francis and Jillibean Soup. Yum! Totally got me in the mood for fall. Here's what I did with the goods:
I mounted the die-cut Making Memories paper on foam squares for dimension, and added the flower cut from the 7G paper. A swipe of pink paint makes the perfect background for my title letters.
I used a variety of the papers to make a patchwork background, stitching around the edge of each piece. I traced some Heidi Swapp acrylic butterflies from my stash onto the pink paper and cut them out, adding rhinestones as embellishments. The title is a mix of letter stickers and the font Arial Black.
I used the Making Memories letter stickers as masks, misting over them and them and them removing them when the mist dried. I then wrote the word "happy" above the title and stitched two hearts with my sewing machine. That velvet trim was my favorite part of the whole kit - it's so lovely and rich!
I knew these photos of Riely and her cousin Ava would work well with the Basic Grey papers. I used the pink pattern, adding in a bit of red with the strips and the cut-out roses. To add just a bit of texture, I sewed over the roses with random stitching and added two small glitter brads in the top left corner.
So if you've got some gorgeous fall photos, go grab this kit and make plans to scrap! Add in a warm mug of cocoa, and you've got a perfect afternoon. Thanks for stopping by today - hope you have a wonderful Monday!
