Welcome to the "All About Fall" Blog Hop!!


We're so happy you could join us for this super-fun hop showcasing cards, layouts and projects that are All About Fall!!

Before the leaves change color and fall... let's get hopping!! If you've hopped over from Janet's Blog , then you are in the right place!! If you've just popped in to visit my blog or are reading this via email and you'd like to join our All-About-Fall FUN, then please  to start at the beginning with Lynda's blog because... Starting at the start is always SMART!! :) We have a WONDERFUL Grand Prize for one lucky hopper today -- A $25 Gift Certificate for Designs On Cloud 9!!

For more details on what you could choose if YOU are the winner, please be sure to visit our sponsor: 

Designs on Cloud 9

For the hop today, I've created two cards that are completely circutless.  I totally went old school, back to stamps and cutting designs out of patterned paper.

The first card is Falling Leaves.  I love this time of year because of the rich colors.  I love to go out and take picture of the leaves changing color.  In Alaska, we don't have all the colors you see in the States, but it's beautiful.


This card I cut the leaves out of some paper I had laying around my craft area.  The stamp is from Close to My Heart.  One thing I love about this card is that it was totally made from things I already had so nothing had to be bought.

My next card is one I made for my granddaughter. I call it "Nuts about you"


It is so cute, I used a sticker I had on hand along with stickles. I got this paper from Joann's and found a great glittered button.


******BLOG CANDY ALERT*****
