I'm here with my second inspirational project for our September challenge.
The theme is Season if mists and mellow fruitfulness.
So I created a card with toadstools for whom the autumn is their true season.
The background with the falling leaves and the orange colour is autumn-like too.
If you need a tutorial, please hop on my blog.
Happy sunday everyone!
For my second project I stayed with the foggy, misty part of the theme and made a grungy and a little wistful art journal page.
If you want to know, how this page came together and what products I used, please hop over to my blog. There you will find a lot of details and pictures.
Thank you for your visit today and have a good time!

This page was created using Tim Holtz products including Distress Inks, ephemera, pocket cards and label stickers. To see how it all came together, please visit my blog Let's Art Journal.
Thanks for joining me. Happy and creative wishes!

Oh, I love Meghan's colourful birthday cards. Especially the ones with gnomes.
I'm sure that anyone receives such a cute and cheerful card will be happy.
That's what a birthday is all about, right?
I love the simplicity of the chosen colours. The blue, white and black worked perfectly together.
I love the design too, the stencilled circles in the background with the foliage stamp.
So elegant!
This is a fun fold card with an interesting folding technique and also a perfect masculine birthday card!
Just hop on Mary's blog if you want to see the tutorial of this folding.
This card is so beautiful!

Good morning and a very happy Thursday, welcome to September and our fun new challenge.
Happy September!, here is my first project for the challenge this month
For our September challenge, I created a wine tag. Because, for me,
early autumn means grape harvesting and wine making.
More details are on my blog.
For this month's challenge I'm sharing this art journal page of autumnal leaves.
The misty grunge effect was created by stamping layers of leaves over white gesso using Memento Inks and a Tim Holtz stamp set. To see how it all came together, please visit my blog Let's Art Journal.
Happy September! Hugs Jo x
My first make for our September challenge is my badge I will be wearing at the Stamperama show in Bedford where I will be demoing all things Visible Image and Distress ink for Country View on 25th September. It is one of the themed artist trading coins I have made for the show, some of which will be badges.
If you would like to see how I made this and also find out details of the show and how to win one, do pop on over to my blog here. I will be back on 9th September to share another autumnal make I have made for Bedford.
Bye for now,
Hello and welcome to September, the month of leaving summer and upcoming autumn.
I made a page in my art journal for the theme, showing the morning mist and airy mood on a September morning. If you want to see more, please hop to my blog!
