Paper Playtime Challenge #88 ~ Autumn Colours

Good Monday morning again, my friends.  Wow, that was a fast week.  Did you get a chance to enter the quick one week "Anything Goes" challenge?  If not, today is a new challenge at Paper Playtime.  It is the first Monday of the month and it is a challenge to use Autumn colours and a die cut of some sort.  Our sponsor for this two week challenge is none other than my friend Theresa, The Scrapbooking Queen who is giving the winner a set of 4 Action Wobbles.  Whoo hoo!!!

I decided to do something a little different for this challenge.  Autumn is one of my fave times of year with all the pretty leaves and wonderful colours.  I tend to take lots of scenery pictures at this time of year and have made a scrapbook layout where I can display some of my special ones.  It is a 12" x 12" double page layout and can hold either a 5" x 7" and two 4" x 6" pictures or any combination that will fit on the photo mats.

Technically because I live in Canada we use the British spelling of colours but since this was a cut already on the cartridge I guess it will have to do.

After cutting out both layers of the leaves and gluing them together I ran them through a crimper to give them some texture.

RECIPE:

Card stock ~ Recollections, The Paper Factory
Patterned Paper ~ Creative Memories

Thank you for coming by today.  Please join us at Paper Playtime and show us your projects using Autumn colours and die cuts.  You have until noon Thursday, November 15, 20012 to enter.
