Falling for Fall all over again...

It seems like every year I fall in love with fall all over again...

I love the smells in the air when you step outside, or in my house because it smells like pumpkin...I love the colors of the beautiful changing leaves that God gives us to look at...There is so much beauty in the fall. 

With a new cute baby in the house I only did one show this year...

                                           

This pretty cute face keeps me busy but he also makes a pretty great side kick. 

I wanted to share two fall projects with you today....One is easy and totally for inspiration....

and the other is to cute and comes with yummy directions! 

Yes I know it is not Stampin Up paper don't judge...

Directions...

5 x 5 square of DSP

using the envelope punch board or scoring tool 

score at 2 inches...turn 90 degrees and score at 3 inches and rotate again score at 2, then on the last side score at 3...You are making mini envelopes, make sure you use the punch of the board to round your corners and notch you inside corners. simple fold up and embellish!

Grateful for you- Fall Card

I love an easy card that is still beautiful...With 3 children simple is the easiest and quickest way for me to create a card. 

I used For all things stamp set, Early Espresso Cardstock and Very Vanilla...I used Crumb Cake, More Mustard and Early Espresso Inks. This card is not just for fall but any time of the year.

Chapstick Cards

Every year I have made these for my craft fairs and they have always been one of my best sellers. I am getting ready for a new round of shows and I am diligently working on products. I found a cute idea to make them alittle differently thanks to the new framelits for the big shot!

 They are so easy to make. Using the largest framelit labels cut your outer piece you will score at 2 and 2 3/4. You will then use your next size down for your dsp, once it is cut fold it in half and cut off 5/8 of an inch from your fold, this will give you two identical pieces.

I stamped my insides

For your Chapstick holder cut 1 3/4 by 2 5/8 on the long side you will then score at 3/8, 1, 1 5/8, and 2 1/4. You will attach your 3/8 sides up against your folds.

I love how these turned out! What cute gifts!

Gently Falling

This has to be one of my favorite fall sets from Stampin Up, one that I have used many times. This was a card that we made at Stamp Divas Club, these colors are great together and really make the card stand out from the rest (Riding Hood Red, Lucky Limade, Island Indigo, More mustard, and Raspberry Ripple.) Such a great combination and it goes perfectly with the fall paper from Stampin Up! This is a stamp set that is in the big catalog.

Regionals Prep!

Well tomorrow is Stampin Up Regionals in Charlotte! I am so excited my first Stampin Up event, I certainly have high expectations....So you can expect to see some pictures saturday from my day at regionals! First I wanted to share my swaps I created for tomorrow: (it also gives you a sneak peek at the new fall products...)

Im looking forward to sharing these with the other demonstrators tomorrow!

Next on my list to share another sneak peek for you is my nametag lanyard. I loved the stampin up sent me the name tag and nothing to put it on, my husband the clever man he is said "they just left it so you could create you own!" So thats just what I did, using new fabric from the holiday mini...

I made the flower and attached it to a pin back so I can take it off and wear it later on my purse or jacket....

I hope you will check back to see my pictures from regionals this weekend!
