Graphic 45 & Core'dinations Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 3 of the Graphic 45 and Core'dinations Blog Hop! 

While I'm not much of a cardstock gal, when I received the beautiful Timeless Collection from Core'dinations Core Impressions line, I was completely thrilled! Not only do the warm, earthy colours match seamlessly with Graphic 45 papers, the papers themselves are easily transformed into the most beautiful 'patterned papers' with a little sanding.

I fussy cut out some of the beautiful clock patterns and transformed them into embellishments around my project.

I used the subtle filgrie pattern to frame my project and to add a little more deapth and texture.
Check out this great prize pack that Graphic 45 is offering this week! A Core Impressions Timeless Sandable Card Stock 12x12 paper pad, An ABC Primer 12x12 Paper Pad, Core'dinations Signature Series 12x12 paper pad, Trim Staples and Chipboard Button Staples!

Festive Fall Wreath

Eventhough the days and nights are getting more and more chilly, we're not quite into winter just yet.  I decided to make this festive fall wreath using the beautiful Forever Fall Collection From Bo Bunny.  I had planned to hang it on my front door for the Trick or Treaters to see - but it somehow ended up on the front door at my mother in law's ;>

This wreath was very easy to transform.  I simply purchased a plain twig wreath from Michaels Craft store ($3.99) and adorned with a heap of handmade 'pumpkins'.

I used both my scallop circle and smaller circle punches from Marvy and placed varied sizes and patterns around my wreath, adding in bits of berries here and there until it looked 'full'.  This would also be a super easy idea for a Christmas wreath!!

Thanks for stopping by today! See you tomorrow with some exciting projects from Graphic 45!
