Swain Trail apple picking

It wouldn't be fall with out apple picking and our favorite place to go get our picking on is Swan Trails Farm.  They have a great variety of apples, we chose the delicious Cosmic apple.

Not only do they have apple picking but they are known for their

incredible halloween farm.  Check them out if you are local.

She's a beaut!  not the apples, my sweet daughter!

but the apples are tasty for sure!

Such a fun day doing what we love to do, spend fun time together

being silly!! 

Raven's Tale

Back with some more of the Raven's tale, this background paper

is printed with the moon and trees.  All you need to do is add

pumpkins, ghosts or as I did bats and a greeting. 

Super easy! 

On the moon I did the same technique I did on the last 

card.  I punched out the holes and added some silver paper

on the back to make the moon shine. 

You can see in the picture below where I punched out the 

holes in the moon and the silver behind it. 

I used a push pin to make the holes rather than use a hole

punch since it won't reach around to the center of the paper. 

Raven's Tale

Happy wednesday!

Back with a spooky card for you to try with the new Raven's tale stamp set.

I cut some black cardstock and sponge some white ink with a dauber to create

the moon.  I took a toothbrush and white paint watered down and splattered some

white paint on the cardstock then added some silver glitter.

Love me some spooky cards to have on hand.

What do you think?

Lace name tags

We are getting ready for a baby shower and making all things vintage.

Here's just a little sampling of the lace name tags I've been working on

for my daughter Shae's baby!

All I have done is used the die cutting machine to cut out 

oval shapes. I purchased some lace that I attached around the

oval shape with adhesive then used a glue gun to attach

the second oval to the back of the tag to complete it. 

They are so sweet, we are going to be putting them on top of

the plates for the shower. 

I will share more of the shower early this week since it is this

coming saturday.  Much more fun ideas to share with you!

My girlfriend Alison took to her pen and created the gorgeous

penmanship on these tags.  I love how they turned out. 

Stay tuned for more! 

Aspens of Gratitude

This month's paper pumpkin

Aspens of Gratitude.

This was one where I truly did not like the design and decided to

go rouge and just make it as simple as possible. 

I felt like these cards look more like sympathy cards so I just

added the greeting and some gold glitter to the trees.

It's hard to see the glitter but it turned out nice and serene. 

Sometimes you have to just shake it up a bit! 

Fall hostess gifts

Let's make some fall hostess gifts.

I found these fall dish towels and paper napkins at 

Marshalls.  I brought them home and literally just

folded the towel over and added the napkins on top,

added some sage ribbon and there you have it!

I cut out a couple of paper leaves and added the for you tag

and adhered it to the front of the napkins. 

so pretty and very fallish!
