Love Fall colors

 Summer is my favorite season, but I love the colors of FALL!  I could probably create everything in those colors. Sooo...first off, I want to share my Card Positioning Systems card with you. 

The sponsor for this week is EAD Designs.  They offer stickers and rub-ons.  I picked these adorable "fall" themed stickers.  I put each one on white cardstock and then cut out the shape.  For the way I wanted to use them, I wanted them to be a little more sturdy. 

I couldn't resist playing along with Colour Q this week and these colors are so NOT Fall, really, but I wanted to give them a try!

I turned to my trusty Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge by Close to My Heart for my design. 

I cut the same shape four times on four different colors of cardstock.  The little flower looking middle piece gets cut out so I just switched the colors around. 

And, I feel in LOVE with this Cardabilities sketch so I gave that a try. I think I could use this same sketch over and over since it is the perfect way to just pick up scraps from my table and create a card.

The leaf is from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. Four simple strips of paper from Echo Park worked wonderfully.   

I cut an outline and then cut a full leaf and glued them together.  I filled in the open areas in the outline with Crackle accents by Ranger.  Once that was dry, I brushed over it with a brown stamp pad to help show up the crackle lines.  The black flourish and the golden scallop border are both cut with the Cricut cartridge.

And for a couple photos...

We are going to soccer games these days and so here are a couple photos from the other day.  The littlest one is not on a team but he loves kicking that ball around.  More pics from my Hipstamatic camera.

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
