Autumn Layout

A new favourite layout! I sat down to make something for the Free File Friday challenge at Paper Issues and love what happened. I grabbed an cut file and doubled it erasing the flower that came with it. Then I added this picture from my daughter's nursery school class. I decided to use the Pebbles Woodland Forest collection as I had not cut into it yet (common trend I have going). Backing the cuts took forever but Netflix got me through. The next day I used clear gesso to prime the paper and plastic packaged the yellow paint and splattered some orange.
Supplies
Pebbles: Woodland Forest
Simple Stories: Hello Fall (chipboard)
Bella Blvd: Zoo Crew (tabs)
Tim Holtz: Distress Paint yellow
Heidi Swapp: Color Shine peach
Clear gesso
Black fine tip Sharpie pen

Great Outdoors Fishing Layout for P.H.P.

I love the new Great Outdoors Collections from Paper House Productions! I used the fishing kit for my latest layout. There is a tutorial on the Paper House blog so please stop by and check it out. Here is the final layout.
We had a great day trying to catch a fish although with no luck. I love the 3D stickers that capture this fun day just the way it happened. The colors are so vibrant - it is a great collection.

Bookmarks for Paper House Productions

We have been making off the page projects on the Paper House Productions blog. I made three bookmarks for my project using a variety of new products. I made two bookmarks as thank-you gifts for a teacher and another to celebrate fall. If you have bits and pieces of a collection, this is a great way to use them up and add a handmade touch to a gift.
For the fall bookmark I layered two papers from the Autumn Woods collection. I cut out the sentiment from another paper and decorated with cardstock and epoxy stickers. I used a hole punch and added some matching twine.
For this teacher bookmark, I used the new Great Outdoors papers for the background. Then I mixed a bunch of school themed stickers. I love how the planner stickers, puffy stickers and mixed stickers all look together.
For the final bookmark, I used a paper from the Color Washed Paper Pad. Then I cut the packaging paper off the mixed stickers for the lined paper. I topped it off with a mixture of stickers.
That's it for me! I hope you have a moment to check out all the fun stickers and papers in the shop and don't forget to put those leftover supplies to use!
