Autumn Leaves


Morning everyone, this week at Allsorts Lynn is going with the season and the theme of Autumn Leaves, this one plays right into my hands!  Prizes this week come from AALL and Create.

Above I've created a tri fold card using AALL and Create Tag It Yourself (27), lightly inked the backgrounds and some base stamping using Foliage (496), then arranged Crunched Leafdrops (1109), Wiggle and Dance (1174) and Floral Flyer (1170). Lots and lots of snippets here so one for The Snippets Playground, there's speculation that Misses Di and Sarn have planned a conker hunt this weekend! We've three Horse Chestnut's in the gardens which are laden this year, the Squirrels are having a hay day.

Note: Those who collect A&C goodies will know that most of the larger stamp sets have or are being discontinued on the company website, but many remain available via on line retailers so a Google search is a good route to source any you may want.


This one again uses Crunched Leafdrops (1109), I really love this set, here I masked a focal panel and simply stamped into stencilled leaves, words, a little Mouse and a computer generated sentiment.


And belatedly (sorry Gail and Jo, you know what my weeks been like!) my September Card Chain Challenge make which went to Greta in Oregon. I used Lavinia Sticker Stencil Bottle Bundle which comes complete with the cork stamp, Large Hares, Moss Cap Mushrooms, Fairy Catkins and Mini Maple Leaf.

I must also send my thanks to CCC's random generator as it selected me as the winner, I won a £30 voucher to Relatively Thoughtful, it's a UK based company but new to me. It's also a new experience choosing a prize, I'm usually on the other side of the fence looking for companies to donate challenge prizes. So I have some new Andy Skinner stamps making their way to me.
