“Thankful for You”, by Wendy Antenucci.

I had the Hello Autumn collection laying on my desk from my Project Life Weeks 1 & 2 and this cute picture of my son and so I started creating. I love to multi-task and often create a few things at one time because I put bits and pieces that are leftover right onto the next project. When I finally finish the next project it doesn't take me much time because most of the work is done! I grabbed a leftover 3x4 card that fit what I wanted to say about my son and some fun border strips to ground the group. TIP: I cut my smaller leftovers into 3x4s and 4x6s because they work really well for layering on layouts. I grabbed one of my 4x6 cuts and tucked it behind my picture block. I added the pops of orange next; even though my son's shirt was red the orange worked well enough and looked great on the woodgrain. I used the scallop sticker (cut down) to house my title and a sentiment sticker also. I was able to stack the chipboard pumpkins because I pulled off some of the backing from the bottom pumpkin. I love to add color to the top and bottom of my layouts, to me it seems to finish them up and plus I love clouds!

Supplies:
Hello Autumn: Gatherings, Daily Details, Borders, Falling Into Fall, Paper Pieces, Chipboard Icons, Treasures & Text, Trinkets; Amorie Chipboard Alpha: White; High Five Alpha Stickers: Green

“Autumn Love” card, by Kathy Martin.

Oh my my, the Hello Autumn collection is awesome with its rich fall color pallet and beautiful leafy prints! I got just a little carried away with this card adding this and adding that. I love mixing lots of elements and colors and to do this without the card looking too busy I make sure the colors contrast instead of blend. It makes each piece of the card stand out. The hearts for example look like three different pieces. If I hadn’t used contrasting colors they might seem like a single layer or piece.

Supplies:
Hello Autumn: Falling into Fall, Gatherings, Time to Rake, Borders, Paper Pieces, Trinkets, Treasures & Text; Button Market: Merlot Flowers

“Hello” card, by Kathy Martin.

Creating with Bella Blvd’s Tiny Tots collection makes me so happy! Seriously adorable animals, alphabet soup, and bright eye catching colors make this line so fun to play with! And I had a lot of fun creating this card for you! How can one not smile looking at this happy frog and cuddly lion? Although I no longer have a tot in the house, but I can always use a collection like this to make kid cards for nieces, nephews, etc!
