Monday Montage 245 - Autumn Leaves


Its officially fall and I am once again trying to take advantage of any chance I have to enjoy the out of doors and anything else that has to do with Fall.  I have been to three Utah Utes Football games, walks with the furry little four legged man in my life and am looking forward to a drive up the canyon and a picnic lunch with my boy crush

 You have arrived at the Monday Montage Blog Hop.  There are always fabulous creations to be inspired with!

I love the fall colors and there is a full spectrum.  I was inspired by the gorgeous All About Autumn DSP which you will definitely want to get your hands on.  I decided to go with the tones of the Moody Mauve colors and accents with some others.  I mixed gold and rose gold metallics, but I think it works.  I had to add some the of the speckled dots that comes with the suite.
Stamps - Autumn Leaves
Ink - Versamark

Monday Montage 244 - Rustic Crate


I wish I had a crazy super power that could slow down time, or provide little windows where time slows down in my little circle so I can get stuff done, or get some rest  before I have to catch up to everything else.  I took a little 3 day vacation and came home with more souvenirs than I planned on.  Covid hitched a ride and made for a miserable next 5 days.  Unfortunately, for work, it was all hands on deck, so I worked through it instead of sleeping through it.  No Fun!  And to top it off I got the worst cold sore I've had in years! Now it is just a scabby mess on my face.  Can't hide that.

Its time again for these talented crafters to hopefully provide you with a little inspiration.  I know I always get inspired by the projects.  Fall is just around the corner and I am itching to get some of my fall décor out!  I love all the colors of fall.
I have a whole stash of Very Vanilla cardstock that has just been asking to be used.  This project lent itself to the soft tones of the vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the image of the pumpkins, sunflowers and corn and then colored them.  I tried to create some Indian Corn to provide more color to the image. The colors are so vivid.  I stamped the crate in two different browns to gets a little texture/depth to the wood.  Layered it on coordinating cardstock  and embossed paper.
