Autumn Leaves

By
It's Monday and time for another challenge over on Make My Monday and this week the subject is
  AUTUMN LEAVES.
This week I have gone for an Orla Kiely designer look to my card - take a look


I have taken inspiration from her Stem Design and used the wing from my 2 Step Bird punch to create my leaves. I also just went through my scraps box picking out every autumnal shade I could find and then placed them randomly on the stems.
This is the final week of our Autumn challenges so I hope you will hop over and take a look at all the lovely samples my design team have made - next week we will launch a brand new theme and series of challenges.

Hope every one has had a good weekend and if you are out Trick or Treating tonight - have fun and take care. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    A really clever and graphic card Jacqueline and fantastic use of scraps too. Love the arrangement of the mock leaves on the stems.
    Have a good week.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
