For my project, I decided to create a little home decor project to display on my kitchen hutch.  I love Autumn because of all the amazing colors, plus pumpkins and acorns and leaves, oh my!!

So, this is what I came up:

How cute is that?..LOL  and check out that toofy smile :)

I filled this paper basket with lots of Autumn goodies..

I took one of the pumpkins from the "Pumpkin Patch" cut file and decided make them 3D.. It was super easy and so much fun..  I cut 6 in total per pumpkin, 3 facing left and then flipped 3 to the right.. I created a fold in the middle, then gluing them back to back.. because both sides are different, you will need to switch between the left facing and right facing till you notice the last one will match, just glue together and there you have your 3D folded pumpkins..

I did the same thing with the acorns, they are from the "Nuts About You" cutting file, but there are two more steps to creating those.. You have to use the knife tool in your SIL Designer Edition software (if this is the software you are using) and cut one off the branch :)  oh, and because there are two pieces to them, I placed the cuts together in the software, filled em with color, printed and then cut around edge, having just the one piece..

6 per acorn, 3 facing left and 3 facing right.. 

extreme close up :)

Those little fall leaves are also from the same branch as the acorns, but this time I used the knife tool to trim one off of the branch :)  I then copied and pasted it as many times as I needed leaves, filling them with different autumn colors.. You can see how many options you actually have with these files.. 

I love that adorable little pumpkin, which is actually the pumpkin  I used to create the big 3D ones.  I used one of the facial stamps from the Peachy Keen "Piles of Smiles 3/4" set on him.  The green leaves are from the Falling Leaves cutting file.. I inked the edges with green distress ink and then bent them with my fingers, to resemble real leaves..

and I love the banner cutting file, so many cute shapes to choose from.. As you can see, I couldn't just pick one.  :)

and how about that little squirrel? He's also from the "Nuts About You!" cutting file.. because I cut him so small, I pieced him together in  the software, filled him in with color, printed and just cut around the edge to save on time and my patients..LOL

I love my white marker pen.. Added faux stitching to the outside of the basket..

I needed something to keep everything sitting in the basket properly, so I added a bunch of shipping twine and then created paper swirls from black cardstock, which I actually glued some of those leaves to, creating the illusion of there being lots of layers..

Now, for supplies used to create this project:

Silhouette Designer edition software

Silhouette Cameo

Canon home printer

black and white cardstock

Digital papers

Sketch reveal: SOUS Nov8th

Happy Friday fellow crafters..

I'm here to share with you my layout that I created for our sketch reveal over at S.O.U.S.. Our very own Leah designed this weeks sketch and I had such a blast getting a sneak peek at all of our girls layouts as I was getting todays design team post ready :)  

So, I decided to scrap some of the photos I took one night as I went to bed and my beagle pup joined me.. He snuggles next to me every night, its so cute!!  I don't mind him sleeping in our bed cause it prevents him from having a panic attack in the middle of the night and peeing on my floor, which he does when he ends up sleeping downstairs by himself on the couch.. He suffers from separation anxiety, poor wittle guy..

So, here is my layout:

How about some close ups:

He ended up yawning as I was snapping photos..LOL  Looks like he's laughing..

My title.. I created it using two different fonts..

added a few bones and paw hearts..

Theeeeere he is...LOL he's my cutey pie..

and finally my puppy paper piecing.. cute!!

I can't were entering November already, how fast the fall is flying by and its just a skip, hop and jump till Xmas.. Yikes!! LOL
But before I get carried away with talk of Xmas, let me share a banner I created for todays reveal..
I created the entire banner myself using the Silhouette designer edition software.
Here is what I created and remember to click on the photo to make it bigger :)

not the best photo I know.. this is really long, so it was really difficult trying to photograph it all in one shot :)

how about some much needed close ups?

I added lots of hand made goodies and the papers are a digital kit by Glitz Designs that I found in the SIL store.. 

for supplies used to create this:

Silhouette Designer Edition software

Silhouette Cameo

Canon Printer

White cardstock

cutting files:

Flower (cant remember)

Leaf

Flourish

Marquee (cant remember)

Hanger

the actual banner base (scalloped triangle) I created myself using the square tool which I edited to a triangle.  Then using the circle tool, drew a small circle which I then copied, pasted and welded around the triangle shape to create the scallop.. Go me!! LOL

alrighty fellow paper lovers.. Now, please go stop by SOUS and check out what AMAZING banners our design team has created for todays reveal.. I got a sneak peek and let me just say "WOWZAH!"..
