CTO Challenge 36: Fall Themed - Autumn Wishes

Hello my treasured friends!

Today over at Celebrate the Occasion, we're celebrating autumn by creating fall themed projects. Make sure to join us, get inspiration from the amazing design team, and celebrate along with us!

For this week's project, I created a darling scarecrow couple in a pumpkin patch! I've been wanting to use the scarecrows from the Simply Charmed cartridge for quite some time now, and I thought it would be perfect for this week's challenge and Trendy Twine's Tuesday Challenge #2 to use twine in your project with a pumpkin.

 

Trail of Treasures:

• Card Base - 5.5 x 4.25" cut in kraft cardstock, distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo 
• Card Layer - 5.25 x 4", patterned paper from Recollections Simply Autumn stack
• Scarecrows - cut from Simply Charmed at 2.5"; added Orange Licorice to the hat; faces from Peachy Keen 486 - In Stitches Assortment
• Pumpkins - cut from Pumpkin Carvings Cartridge, distressed with Tim Holtz Tea Stain Distress Ink
• Sentiment - from Pink By Design Bountiful Blessings stamp set

Make sure to join in the fun here! Happy fall y'all!

Until next time's treasures,

Throwback Thursday: Happy Halloween!

Hello my treasured friends!

It's been a super busy week here, and there has been loads going on! I will update once I get a chance to! I just wanted to quickly post the card that I created for Emma over at My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge is to create a Halloween themed card with the card feature on any older cartridge. I attempted to create my first 'Spinner Card' with the Wild Card Cartridge, but I couldn't make it work with what I had so I had to make due. I'll know for next time! :) So here's how it came out!

Such a cutie little pumpkin!! Here's a look at the inside of the card:

Trail of Treasures:

• Card Base - pg. 51 Pinwheel Card cut at 5.5" in Kraft coloured cardstock, distressed around the edges with black ink
• Card Layer - cut at 5.5" and trimmed down, used Authentique Glowing 6x6 Stack, wrapped Trendy Twine Orange Licorice twine, and tied a bow
