Totally Papercrafts #38 Autumn

 Is it Friday again already??   Then it's time for another challenge at Totally Papercrafts.

This week the fabulous Sue is hosting our challenge and she has picked the theme of 'Autumn'.

I don't know what it's like in your part of the world, but Autumn has well and truly arrived here in Yorkshire.

The temperature has dropped and the leaves are falling from the trees. I love this time of year and  I can't wait to see all your 'Autumn' projects.

We have some wonderful new DT members too - so please pop by their blogs and say hello to

Tammy - Kizzy Designs, Sarah - Stressed Stamper and Heidi - Crafty Goat Girl.

I decided to go with Autumn colours and try my hand at a 'shaker' card.

I knew I had a couple of plastic, coaster kits, left over from my cross-stitching days. It took a lot of rummaging and a little swearing, before I finally found them. I put a good amount of 'autumn' coloured seed beads into the coaster, then my coloured image and then snapped the back into place. I used Glossy Accents to stick the coaster to a piece of scalloped card.

I like the way that Heidi and Madison look as though are knee deep in beads... kind of like standing in a heap of leaves!

The DP is Basic Grey, Max and Whiskers. Stamp - High Hopes, Heidi and Madison, coloured with Copics.
The corners were cut with my Slice - Parties Card and the banner with the Slice 'Pink' Card.
Banner text is a Personal Impressions stamp.   Beads and Ribbon from my stash.

Hope that you will find time to join in our challenge and have some fun.    xxx
