Perfectly Clear Fall Colors Layout

Hello again friends what a beautiful fall we are having in Nashville, Tennessee this year (minus the drought), which made the Creating Made Easy November Kit all the more fun (as it is usually!) this time. 

I have a fun layout today that is completely clear Fall Colors Acrylic Layout using the November Kit.

If you would like to create this layout, I have step by step instructions. 

• Using patterned paper from the November Kit (Creating Made Easy) punch out several 1" leaves using any fall leaf punch (I used one from my stash or a cutting machine would work as well).
• Peel off the protective film from the Clear Scraps 12X12 acrylic sheet (only the front for now).
• Trim out 12X7" piece of patterned paper as shown in photo. 
• Adhere 12X7" paper to front of acrylic using Beacon adhesives. 
• Trim out 4X6 matte using patterned paper from the kit. 
• Adhere matting to paper as shown, add photo (trimmed to size).
• Take paper punched leaves, adhere them down right had side. 
• Take buttons(from stash or previous kits) and place them as shown amidst paper punched leaves. 
• Add FALL COLORS sticker from the November Kit sticker sheet. 
• Take gold 3/4" ribbon (from stash) and adhere under photo matting. 
• Take "But I think I love Fall Most Of All" sticker and stick to a leftover scrap of patterned paper. 
• Trim around stick leaving a 1/4"  edge. 
• Using pop dots, add sticker on right hand side of photo as shown. 
• Adhere a couple buttons to the left hand side of the ribbon. 
• Using StazOn ink (from stash) or paint would work as well, and edge entire layout. 
• Remove protective film from the back of the layout. 

Such a fun and easy layout when you break it down piece by piece, and I love acrylic layouts in my books, they are so unique and creative.

You could replace any of the stickers or sentiments wither choice from this packed kit!

Gift Bag Idea + Tutorial

Have I mentioned how much I love fall and crafting during fall?

The kids are in school, the days are colder, it's just nice go snuggle in and create. 

With the CME November kit I created these gift bags, which were included! HOLLA!

 First I sprayed the acrylic frames with Irresistable Spray from Imagine Crafts,

after I let them dry I inked them with StazOn. 

 Then I trimmed out the patterned paper to fit the front panel on the bags. 

I trimmed the burlap to fit in the frames, and glued them to the back. 

 I added it all to the front of the bags and added some pins and ribbon. 

 Really it's  nice simple handmade touch to a gift that would easily bring a smile.

Use the SW Perfect Susan Font to trim out "Happy Fall Y'all".

Adhere to card base. 

Spray glue around edges of card pieces and sprinkle with glitter.

Hot glue handmade or bought paper flowers. 

On the back add a piece of white paper (this is where I write my note).
