It’s Monday … and NOVEMBER … and it’s time for another hop with the Monday Montage Crew!
As I have been watching The Gilmore Girls for the first time (how on EARTH did I miss this back in the day??), I decided to start an episode as I was cutting out a BUNCH of leaves from the Elegant Leaves Dies. And I mean A BUNCH! Eight different colors with three sets of three dies! That 192 leaves … and you will be seeing OTHER creations made from this stash in the coming week!
After cutting all the leaves I then used my Blending Brushes to add a little more color/texture to each leaf with its coordinating ink. How pretty! I had so many that I was tempted to pile them all up and jump in!!
The Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies are gorgeous!! I also used the Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder to add even more depth to the center piece behind the sentiment. I don’t wanna even tell you how many episodes of The Gilmore Girls I finished whilst doing this, but suffice it to say that it was more than one!! Paper: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Darling Duckling, Golden Glow, Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze Ink: Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Darling Duckling, Golden Glow, Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze Accessories: Elegant Leaves Dies, Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies, Mosaic Adhesive-Backed Dots, Linen Thread, Gold Foil
Fall has long been my most favorite time of year … this card clinches that! I can almost smell the leaves!!

This month's Stampin' Fancy Friday Challenge was so much fun! We were tasked with making something with either a "mini" or "mighty" vibe ... whether it be dies, stamps, DSP or whatever hit the spot for us! Luckily for me, I had a couple of extra tiny pumpkins sitting on my craft table leftover from a previous project, so I decided to make one of the little pumpkins the focal point this time around!
How cute is this bitsy pumpkin??? I love it!! I added a frame using the Perennial Postage Dies, and added some leftover vines I had from the Painted Pumpkins set as well.
I pulled out my Simply Scored board and added both vertical and horizontal space lines (the vertical ones are every 1/4" inch). And some splattering was the perfect "finishing touch" that this card needed!

TGIF Challenge #600 - WAHOO!! Can you believe it??? 600 weeks of challenges - that’s a LOT!
And we’re here to CELERATE!!
Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.
I knew that the Shining Stars Dies (BEST Product of the Month EVER!) we’re going to have to be center stage for this week’s celebration-themed challenge!!
I ended up putting some of the Mosaic Garden DSP AND some Old Olive Mulberry paper as the backdrops for the stars … with a little touch of gold foil behind the sentiment panel!
Swirls of Magic - this embossing folder was the most excellent pairing for the Shining Stars!
The little dots and gold embossed sentiment were just the right touches to complete this creation!

Happy Monday! The Monday Montage Crew is back again! Soooo much good to share today!
What do you think? I am obsessed with the Time to Unwind stamps … what is it about cute little balls of yarn that just gets to me??
I used the Tile Garden Dies to created a little splattered backdrop for each of the knitty images. The new Timeless Herringbone embossing folder is the perfect companion for the yarn … it kind of looks like a blanket, don’t you think?
I used some blending brushes to add a bit of color to the Timeless Herringbone embossed backdrop … it needed just a little more ooomph!

Do any of you knit, crochet or cross stitch (I have been known to do a little of each from time to time). My grandmother used to crochet me things when I was a little girl … they were so beautiful and personal.
