Autumn Colours Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook Friends




Welcome to the Autumn Colours Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook Friends! You should have arrived here from Lynn’s blog. Don't you think Lynn's creation is so fabulous.


I got an inspiration from Pinterest.  Scroll down as the autumn leaves are falling down and see what I have created....



Here's my creation.... I found an old 16 by 20 canvas sitting in my office and had it painted. 




After learning the new technique using Be Creative Tape sheet and some glitter ritz during make n' take at Two Scrapbook Friends last week. I decided to give a try and cut a tree trunk, adding some glitters on it. 



I used all of DT scraps from the Two Scrapbook Friends, Simple Stories - Harvest Lane. It's the perfect collection for celebrating its seasonal memories.  Each pattern has its own florals, polka dots, strips, gingham and plaids.   I cut approx 90 leaves and applied some Tim Holtz distress.  I used Beacon 3 In 1 Craft Glue to glue the leaves, you can also use the Zip Dry glue, it works well too..


  

I hope my creation give you some inspiration to create some of your own.
