I Love You A Bushel & A Peck

Hi Crafty Friends,
I made a CAS Autumn Card. I love the sentiment that came with this stamp set "I Love You A Bushel & A Peck and A Hug Around the Neck"

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you go apple picking?
A: I used to when I was little but not anymore.

Real Acorns!

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired to add some NATURE to this card for the ModSquad Challenge. I thought the acorn caps fit perfectly with this little fall scene. I can tell the squirrel wants to jump off that log and grab them from the corners.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite color leaf?
A: Me? I love the BRIGHT red ones!

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for a NEW Challenge at Kat Scrappiness. We have great Halloween and Fall themed Dies and Stamps. I love our Crafter's Essentials Fall Dies and the Happy Fall Y'all Stamp Set!

And NOW the WINNERS!
The Winners of the Sequins & Sprinkles Challenge for September are
Lucy E.- Random.org Pick and winner of $15.00 gift certificate to Kat Scrappiness
and
Esther Asbury -The Design Team's Top Pick (grab your badge below) and winner of 6 pack of sequins, jewels, and/or sprinkles
Esther's Gorgeous Fall CAS Card just awed us, she used Kat Scrappiness Jewels

Here is a little inspiration from me to get you started! I used the Crafter's Essentials Fall Dies, Happy Pumpkin Sprinkles, and Hocus Pocus Sequin Mix. Grab these amazing dies and sequins FAST because they will sell out!
I created my background using Wilted Violet and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink and splattered in with water.

I die cut all the different shaped dies out of plain cardstock and inked the edges in Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.

 I added my stitched rectangle frame to the Kat Scrappiness AMAZING Acetate Sheets and trimmed around the edges.

I added my shaker pieces to the center and glued my scene onto the front of the Kat Scrappiness Acetate!
 Then I put it all together and a fun Halloween Shaker Scene appeared!

Supplies:
Kat Scrappiness Crafter's Essentials Fall Dies 
Kat Scrappiness Hocus Pocus Sequin Mix
Kat Scrappiness Happy Pumpkin Sprinkles
Kat Scrappiness Stitched Rectangle Dies
