My local scrapbook store, The Scrapbook Workshoppe,
got the new Tattered Angels Chip Tiles in yesterday
and I just could not wait to create something with them!
I came up with this spooky accordian banner:
added some cobwebs and spiders to make it extra spooky!
up close detailon the moon and gate I used a white and gray crayon for resisting
I also used Tim Holtz distress embossing powder in Black Soot on the gate under the bird
more detail
Overall, I'm pleased with the way it turned out
I can't wait to try the other Chip Tiles!
Fall has come to Missouri, although it feels like an early winter!
It has been rainy and blustery for the past 2 weeks, not a ray of sunshine!
I don't mind days like that here and there but after a while it gets depressing.

I took some photos yesterday just around my yard
Autumn is my very favorite season.
Speaking of things I love...How about a "Thankful Thursday"?
1. My babies.
They are so precious and dear to me
Everyday I look at them and have to pinch myself
How did I get so lucky?
2. Thanksgiving.
Can't wait for this day to come!
I am already "researching" recipes for my turkey
Each year I try a new recipe/technique.
In the past I have done brining, maple glazing, and the old standby Herbs de Provence
3. Good Friends.
Yesterday my friend, Tina, and I got to sneak away and scrap together for a few hours
She shared all of her Studio Calico exclusive papers & stamps with me
I was drooling! I have never subscribed to a kit club before but their things are too fun.
So retro-mod!
4. A wonderful Man.
I truly don't think there is a greater man, husband, father
or coach better than Mike!
He is selfless in every sense of the word and knows how to
He is selfless in every sense of the word and knows how to
make me feel like a million bucks.
He surprised Tina and I yesterday while we cropped and brought us lunch.
What a guy!
5. Entertaining pets.
My house is full of them
Between the 6 lb poodle and 70 lb poodle
who are constantly at each other's throats,
the "stray" turtle we rescued and the 200 gallon saltwater aquarium
I have enough to keep me entertained...and crazy. ;)
Life is good,
no,
Life is GREAT.
Enjoy your Thursday, friends.

ReplyDeleteAnd Fall is my favorite too... I love it so much, but to my dismay we've got an early batch of snow here in PA yesterday and today:( I'm very sad about it! I like your pix. I don't think I'll be getting any terrific Fall colors in photos this year... so disappointing.
