More Fall

the leafs are still hanging pretty at our mantel

and I was ready for more fun with leafs


 mini paper leafs this time

cut out of color paint sample cards


out of the craft room came the boxes

filled with yummy materials


I am sooo happy we took the effort to ship all of this


after one little mood board with shades of red leafs

my appetite for color combinations was not fed yet


so I made one more

with a little hint to Christmas

how much fun can you have with stamps, paper cards, paper cutters and some ribbon?

as for me: tons of fun


the little vintage Christmas ornament is one of several I found at our local thriftstore


the finished moodboards of today


hopefully a source of inspiration to you

some quick ideas with these paper cuts and stamps:

embellish the cut out figures to your gift wrapping

decorate your Christmas cards with them ~ along with some stamps

~ have fun! ~

  8. Thanx!!! Wil juist vandaag meer 'herfst' in huis gaan aanbrengen en op de één of andere manier vind ik 'herfst in huis' altijd het meest lastig... Dusss, komt helemaal goed uit dit! Leuk om te volgen dat jullie het naar je zin hebben in het verre Canada!!

    Fijne dag!

  10. Jeetje wat ben je toch een creatieveling!! Echt super leuk om je blog én foto´s te bekijken!!
    Ik heb op het werk iets van je nagedaan: die herfstbladeren verzamelen en ophangen (net ietsje anders, maar jij was mijn inspiratiebron haha!).
