These colorize pumpkins that Tim Holtz comes out with each year, take some time to put together but once they are done, I am in love with them. So I continue to buy them each year. They are so fun!

Did you know you can make a background of birch trees by using washi tape, watercolors and an old credit card lying around by swiping the card with black ink? That's what I did here plus I added some deer in the background. See the you tube video here. You have to try it, it's so easy and fun! It's a quick little video too! (4 minutes I think)

Last month Splitcoast had a challenge called Paper Kintsugi and this was how you did it. I used gold Stickles glitter instead when I tore my paper. You can see it here.

I saw this idea done on someone's blog and I now can't find that particular person but I decided to copy her idea and make my own leaf stencil since I didn't have one. It worked well and was easy to do. Just from a leaf die cut. I need to remember to do this more often.
