Good Morning!

I know a lot  of us in the states are hunkering down with our turkeys and families getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. That means a lot of us will be off for a very long weekend.

What better way to start off that weekend with a MONSTER GIVE-A-WAY?!

We are giving away 50 Tim Holtz Kraft Core packs and THREE lucky winners will receive a SIGNED copy from Tim Holtz himself.

Don’t miss out! CLICK HERE to sign up to win win win!

Today it is all about Fall. Don’t forget about our November Colour Lover’s Challenge. Working on this project would be a great way to start off that long weekend, wouldn’t it?

Design Team Member Lydia Jackson created this beautiful layout using this month’s colour palette.

The palette …

And Lydia’s design…

Gorgeous. Love the mix of Vintage and Core Essentials cardstock and how Lydia used the backside of the lattice print from the Pink Paislee Core Impressions line.  Don’t be afraid to mix your own embossing folders and the Core Impressions line like Lydia did here. Looks BeauTiFul!

Core’dinations and Glue Arts … Celebrate Your Thanksgiving

Goooood Saturday Morning!

We are are here bringing you some Core’dinations and Glue Arts projects again today and this is IT! So leave so make sure you leave comments for your chance to win win win!

Make sure you head over to the Glue Arts blog for some awesome projects from their Design Team. They are also introducing a new product, Glue Glider Pro PLUS and they are doing 10 days of give-a-ways over there!!! And they have a GrEaT Facebook page, too, make sure you head over there as well for daily inspiration.

And, YES, we are giving away ANOTHER pack of Core for one lucky winner that posts here on the blog this week!!!

Today we have a Thanksgiving Day wreath from Designer Ellen Sosnoski.

There are only a few easy steps for this easy project. First,  wrap burlap (from MME) around a wooden base. I am using an old “O”  that I bought to alter for my son’s room. The intention was for us to do it together but he didn’t find it as exciting as I did so we are using it for a Fall Wreath today with some Tim Holtz Kraft-Core and Sizzix dies.

You may need to play with it a bit to make sure the end is on the back. Use your Glue Arts Square Adhesives to attach. They worked perfectly!

I used about the Adhesive Squares to attached the leaves…

I just love this piece of Kraft-Core. It is so soft and subtle and it just looked perfect on the spool. Again, use an adhesive Glue Square here….

And a close up of the leaves. They were embossed, then spritzed with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and then sanded. To get them to stand up, I used the 3D UCut it squares.

We cannot wait to see what you create with Core’dinations Color Core Cardstock and Glue Arts!

Thank you Thank you for  a fantastic week. Please make sure you stop over at Glue Arts and give them a big shout out.

Come back Monday for some Canadian Thanksgiving ideas and some winners!
