Golden Days & Good Times



Day by day, vivid green hues slowly turn to yellow and then bright orange, possibly with a touch of red or crimson. The air is cooler, the jackets and jeans emerge...These are the golden days, the golden days of fall. A sparse time here in Wisconsin to enjoy, as soon those pesky white flakes will fall.

The Craft's Meow


I'm delighted to be showcasing a fall set that I designed for The Craft's Meow, Golden Days. The set features larger leaves with a fun detail, but today I'm featuring the small leaves included in the set, and straying away from that golden palette to show how diverse this set can be! I simply stamped a series of leaves onto patterned paper, drew in the veins and stitched a few lines to ground them and the sentiment.


Kaitlyn Ord also has a fun set debuting this month, called Good Times. This set is absolutely perfect for Project Life, and for cards! I stamped the banner from the set onto patterned paper and then added one of the many unique sentiments from the set as well. The banner was then adhered to some patterned paper and a die cut bird and branch came to rest on it for some additional interest.

The Craft's Meow is featuring all the sets for the September Release this week. Be sure to stop by the blog to comment for your chance to win these two sets!
