Glitz It Up For Fall

Hello everyone! I was so happy to get the opportunity to play with the beautiful Dance in Sunshine collection. I just love the yellow, grey, teal and purple hues in this collection with a hint of girly grunge, totally reminds me of autumn!

I created this LO with a photo taken last year while pumpkin picking at a nearby farm. Dylan is so cute here with his head full of curls!

I used a screen to mist the paper with brown mist in opposing corners to add interest. I also added flowers, Stickles and machine stitching.

I layered a ton of beautiful embellies from the Dance In Sunshine collection along with flowers, chipboard and punched borders accented with Stickles.

Toy Box Printer's Tray

Hello again! Today I'm sharing something completely different from what I've been doing lately. I wanted to make an altered project just for fun and I've been wanting to use the fun Toy Box collection by Crate Paper, this is what I came up with...

I love, love, love this fun collection and its nostalgic images just perfect for fun-loving little boys like Dylan. This printer's tray will be hung on our playroom, the kids loved it so much that Emily already asked for one of her own so I think there's a girlie one in my near future!

I sprayed the entire printer's tray with Suede Glimmer Mist to give it a brownish-golden tone and just added chipboard pieces, tags and paper from the collection along with a few photos. Here's a closer view:

Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate you taking the time to visit and leaving sweet comments. Have a great week!
