13 Days of Halloween Day One - Oct 19-31

Welcome to day one of the 13 Days of Hallowen Blog Hop. If you came by my blog today to see what I am up to I would like for you to join us in the 13 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. If you came from the talented Lisa (our hostess) of Handmade with Love -Lisa you are heading in the right direction. We were asked to create Halloween projects but I really, really like these dollar frames at Michael's and I really really, really, like them when I can get them for 66 cents. I painted this one with Charcoal paint. The paper is from Memory Box Nightfall paper pack. I cut 1" strips, corner rounded them, glued them to the front of my frame and Mod Podge over the top of them once they were dried. I then did my inside by covering the insert with a piece of the paper from the pack, I inked my Memory Box Birch Branch Print stamp with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamped once and then again to give it a shadow look. I stamped my Maple leaf on three different papers and cut them out by hand. I now have the die that that I can use to cut the leaf out with. I placed my insert into my frame, added two leaves to the front of the insert and the third I layered on with a pop dot.
To decorate the front of my frame on the left corner using a Tim Holtz frame and a piece of the paper from the pack with the little bird in it. I then added my brads and glued it to the frame. On the other top right side I made a pleated strip of paper and added a Tim Holtz nib to the front of it
Here is a closer look at the leaves and the stamping which are in the center of my frame. I also added a small tan twine bow to the center leaf. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you were inspired to create something with leaves. Though my project isn't truly Halloween it is still in the Halloween colors :) and I hop you continue with the hop by hopping by going to visit Janet at Create Believe Imagine At Dream Scrapbooks and see what she has created for you. I am sure you will fine some wonderful inspiration, tutorials and some giveaways along the way and I look forward to you stopping by tomorrow. Please feel free to leave a comment and if you would like to start following my blog that would be wonderful. Hugs
