BBTB2 - Leaves are Falling

Happy Monday!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend,

I know I did!

I was so excited to get my front porch decorated

with hay bails, corn stalks, and pumpkins!!!

Was is Anne of Green Gables who said,

"I'm so glad I live in a world with Octobers"

I second that thought!

So anyway, over at BBTB2, Pam has issued a challenge

to use leaves on our projects, fitting for fall, right?

Here is my project:

I decided to try another shaker card!

I cut out from Designer's Calendar this fun leaf.

The creative feature is "Rounded" so the image is

inside a circle.

I cut it out a bunch of times, twice out of

some pattern paper then a dozen times out of

white cardstock.

I actually cut the leaf out of the white cardstock circles

to give me the space I needed to fill with beads.

I ran all the circles through my Xyron Sticker Machine

and adhered them all together.

I cut out of clear acetate two circles from

George to cover the front and back of the shaker.

I used Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to glue the acetate

to the cardstock.

All the paper is from My Mind's Eye.

I used some jute twine and added a couple rhinestones

for extra embellishment.

The mat with the shaker is popped up on some foam tape.

Here are some more pics:

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 for this week's

Falling Leaves challenge!

I am also entering this in to Little Scrap Pieces.

Thanks for checkin' in!
