Being thankful with Bingo twist at Lasting Memories

It's time for another fun challenge at Lasting Memories.  This month the theme is about being thankful and for this week we have a Bingo board for you to use.  

Here is my layout using last years Doodlebug.  

I used 2 alphas, 3 patterned papers, stickers, and one photo.  

The pic is of my grandkids in a wheelbarrow at the pumpkin patch.  

Check out what the other designers created for you at Lasting Memories and join is the Scrapbook Bingo fun.  Happy Craftin.  

Lasting Memories Give thanks everyday

It's time for another "Thankful Challenge" for the month of November at Lasting Memories.  

For this weeks challenge we have a photo inspiration which you can see below.  

I used a Fall theme and some photos I had of granddaughters Katie and Brittany

 at the pumpkin patch.  The titles, pumpkin with the word family, and 

owl on a branch all came from Silhouette America.  

I then added some little leaves and ribbon I had in my Fall stash.  

Photo Inspiration 

I hope you will check out the other designers project at Lasting Memories and join us for the challenge.  We have a challenge each Sunday and you have till the end of the month to complete all the challenges and link them up for that month.  Please join us and Happy Craftin!

Fall Wreath Decor

Hello everyone this is Suzanne cricutcraftingrammy here to share a project for Paper Crafting World. I love Fall Colors even though in Southern California we don't get a lot of them.  

So I decided to create a Fall wreath for some fun colorful decor.  

I had an old green 12" styrofoam wreath but you could use any size or a straw wreath for this  project.  I went to Michaels and found this beautiful Red Heart Supersaver yarn called Cherry Cola.  

It was only a few dollars.  

So I tied the yarn and began to wrap.  Keep the yarn tight and laid flat on the wreath.  When I finished covering the wreath I tied the end off and tucked it in.  

Here is what the wreath looks like all wrapped with yarn and believe me there was plenty of yarn 

left if you wanted to make another one or maybe even two.  

 I then cut a bunch of the different leaf shapes in various Fall colors using the 

Fall Wreath cut file .  My leaves are around 3 for the 12 inch wreath but you can make them larger or smaller for your wreath size.  I filled a page with a leaf  and also cut some out of scraps to get color varients.  I then embossed some of the leaves with various embossing folders to give them texture and inked the edges and some of embossing.  Then I cut out the acorns at 2 inches and embossed the tops and inked edges.  

Then I got out my handy glue gun and glued away till I was happy with the way it looked.  

I still have some leaves left which I will use in another project this month.

Hope you enjoyed my project.  

For November the challenge is Anything goes and the twist this month is to use the color red.

Check out the files at Paper Crafting World and the projects on the blog by the other designers.  

We would love to have you join us and link up your project.  

I Fall 4 U Layout

Hello everyone!  Are you having crisp weather with beautiful Fall leaves all around?  If so I am totally jealous.  I would love to be wearing a sweater right now, rather than taking the grandkids to the pumpkin patch with us all in shorts and flip flops.  It has been a little cooler but still warm even for Southern California.  

For my project for PCW  I just fell in love with this cute little cutting file Fall bear with his sweater and banner.  I also added the Fall pumpkins and leaves cut file.  

The sweater is actually cut from Halloween paper that had some little lines that made it look knitted.  

I inked all the edges and added some dimension lines.  

The pumpkins, acorns and  leaves were cut out, inked and then I drew lines with Copic markers to give them dimension.  I then used a punch to make the cute little banner with some scrap ribbon.  

They are attached with my Tim Holtz Tiny attacher.  

The paper is Doodlebug Friendly Forest paper from last year.  

 

Here is a closeup of the bear and you can see the pattern on the paper

 I used to make it look like a sweater.  

I hope you will check out the PCW Blog everyday to see what the design team has created to inspire you,  We are having a challenge for October which we would love to have you join in.  

Paper Crafting World- Count your Blessings

Hello crafty friends from Suzanne at CricutcraftinGrammy .  We can officially say it's Fall now, as of September 23, but it sure doesn't feel like it in Southern California.  
 I love decorating for Fall and all the fun activities that go with it.  

For my project I used Melin's file at PCW Count your Blessings.  I used Doodlebug  paper from last year called Happy Harvest and of course used a Fall color palette.  

The paper I used for the sign was wood look paper, and then I used the cute little leaves paper which matched the PCW design and the green plaid paper.  

I used scraps for the cute little pumpkins and leaves so I  had different colors of orange, tan, and green.  I embossed and inked each pumpkin and leaf.  For ink I used Quick Quotes Powder Puff Inks.  

The little tags are from the Doodlebug Happy Harvest sticker page and I matted then and them pop dotted them.  I added two little raffia bows with brown buttons, in my stash, 
at the top of the mat pages.  

Now I have a page ready for some pics of the grandkids this Fall.  

Thank you for stopping by at Paper Crafting World.  

Please check out all the amazing files at

Fall layouts Day 2

Yesterday was the first day I shared Fall layouts of grandkids.  Here is some more I did  trying to make a dent on my huge stack of photos awaiting me.  Today I am back to babysitting two of my grandkids full time so my scrapbook time will be limited again.  However I will have more layouts in the next few days to share that I did the pat few weeks.

Fall layouts Day 1

I have been busy trying to get some layouts done of my grandchildren the past two weeks while I am not babysitting.  It is really hard to find much time to do my personal scrapbooking between caring for two of my grandkids everyday, teaching at the scrapbook store and doing samples for the store.  So I tried to get some layouts done.  Here is the first set of Fall layouts.  

This is Katie and Brittany dressed for Halloween
