School = Fall Starting

It’s back to school time which means fall is beginning.  We are still have some warm, sunny days but the nights are cooling way down (a little Indian Summer).  For my September scrapbook pages I wanted a back to school feel but most in the group don’t have school age children anymore.  I couldn’t go full fall quite yet so I settled on a fun combination – apples and a wagon full of vegetables on some fun primary colors.

September Scrapbook, Bike Ride, Grown With Love
I used the Bike Ride stamp set on page 1 to stamp the row of apples in the center — Memento ink for the outlines and Real Red for the inside of the apples.

Wanna Do Some Quilting With Me?

Let’s make a quilt together — a paper quilt!!!  The Quilted Christmas Suite has so many fabulous products it is quick and fun to make a quilt.  Wouldn’t this be a great Christmas card for your “real” quilting friends?

I used the Christmas Quilt stamp set — great verses with the Quilted Christmas designer paper.  This paper is wonderful filled with Garden Green and Real Red — what a great combination of color for Christmas.  I added some Black to help it “pop”.
