Hello Fall!!

Thank goodness I did that farewell post to summertime last week because it was a whopping 58 degrees here this morning in Many, Louisiana.  And ok, ok...it was kinda nice, except for the fact that flip-flops are not going to be a choice of shoes for the day anymore.  Flip-flops are a staple in the South, and one of the best things about summer, right?  Anyhoo, I have a couple of Fall layouts to share with you today, and I am in love with the way they turned out.  Lisa actually sent me Basic Grey's Max & Whiskers to create a few Fall layouts.  Yep, you heard me, Max & Whiskers!!  Take a look...

Thankful

 
Looks like Fall to me!!  I just used some of the elements that did not have cute adorable animal prints and faces on them.  The paper has some of Fall's signature colors...brown, gold, orange, green...yep, that's Fall!! 

 
How about those sweet leaves?  I created these babies from a sheet of Creative Imagination's sticky backed canvas.  I just found a piece of chipboard in the shape of a leaf, traced it on the back of the canvas, and cut it out...easy!!  And to give them those wonderful rich colors, I used Creative Imagination's Twinkling H20's.  I don't know if you can tell, but they shimmer...gotta love that!! 

 
See what I am sayin' about not so animal-ish...those cardstock flowers are from the 12 X 12 cardstock stickers!!  And of course, more lovely leaves. 

Headed to the Doghouse

 
Ok, I couldn't resist...I just had to use the doggy theme on just one layout!  I was really trying to do 2 layouts with an exclusive Fall theme, but those puppies!!! 

To create that sweet bone I used, yet again, Creative Imaginations Corrugated Paper...love it!!  I just freehanded the bone, cut it out, and backed it with a bit of brown carkstock...surprise, surprise!  As a matter of fact, I backed everything with brown cardstock.  I really do love that effect! 

Sure hope you had a great weekend, and tune in this week the DT has tons of inspiration coming right at ya!! Happy Fall!

So cute, and what a great way to look at this paper vs. the typical animal shots! Love the cluster of leaves.
