I am the heat of you hearth, the shade screening you from the sun; I am the beam that holds your house, the board of your table; I am the handle of your hoe, the door of your homestead; the wood of your cradle, and the shell of your coffin. A am the gift of God and the friend of man.-- Unknown
I have been so very honored to make creations for Paper Smooches this month as their guest designer and my last one today features all three releases from August. The trunks are from the branch and the tree tops are made from the pumpkin in Spookalicious, the leaves are made from the paisleys in Daisies and Paisleys and the sentiment is compiled from the letters in Graffiti. I was inspired by Moxie Fab World's Card Design Handbook Week: The Repetition Challenge. A pairing of three unique trees, yet they are all stamped with the same elements.
Thank you so much, Paper Smooches!
[I just finished watching the season finale of Pretty Little Liars. I know it is a teen show, and I would never, ever wear the fashions they feature, but gosh, it has me hooked and was such a good episode tonight! Any other fans out there?]
Love the added texture in the leaves- way to work in extra Paper Smooches sets :) Haven't seen the show, sorry.
