Fall Design Trends

From Adriel:

Remember in THIS POST how I mentioned running the cardstock through the Big Shot with the Lattice embossing folder and tearing it to get results that looked like BURLAP? Well, here's something to note: BURLAP is in this fall (along with other things, of course)!

Here's the tag I made that features the "burlap-looking" cardstock. It's a great texture addition!

I found THIS ARTICLE interesting on fall trends and was visualizing how to translate some of these fall trends into card making. I'm still thinking about it, but the list certainly gave me some new inspiration. I thought I'd share it with you! =)

Creative Inspiration

From Adriel:

I was reading some other blogs today and found some beautiful creations that I wanted to share with all of you today. =)

I love what Katarina from Watermelon Sugar did with the ribbon on her card! View her card HERE.

I love the layout Cindy used for her card from Stamps, Paper and Ink! You can view her card HERE.

And this card by Makiko Jones from Makink Studio is just beautiful! View her card HERE.

Anyway, just some wonderful ideas and beautiful cards! Have a nice day! =)

While I was Surfing...

From Adriel:

While I was surfing yesterday on other blogs that I like to visit periodically, I came across some beautiful Christmas cards. I thought I would share some of them with you today. I have included the names of the artists and if you click on their names, you will go to their blogs. Enjoy!
