So are you ready for some projects???

Today we have some Thanksgiving and Fall Inspired projects from Design Team Member Melissa Oliveira.

Melissa used her Fiskars Paper Crimper for this tag…

Let’s talk about these flowers and leaves. First off the cluster is awesome. Add some cool vintage buttons from your stash and you have a gorgeous embellishment. And did you notice the leaves are May Arts ribbon? Melissa cut them into leaf shapes and then held them near a flame (PLEASE be careful if you try this at home) to melt the edges so they won’t fray. And it just gives is a really cool, rustic look. Add some ink to your Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions after you sand it to help accent the different colors in your layout.










Melissa, those projects are wonderful…I LOVE how you have framed your photo with the Petaloo flowers and finished it with those divine leaves! What a beautiful Fall idea!
