Autumn Woods – Sue's Creative Workshop

When the boys came over to visit the other day, Nick had it in his mind that he was going to

rake a huge pile of leaves to play in. Since the maple tree in the front yard had yet to drop it’s leaves

I suggested he rake up the Pine Needles. (I figured a win-win for both of us)

They raked, they threw, they had a really good time. They IMPROVISED!

and…there were pine needles everywhere.

I love this picture of the boys. So much fun.

This week the Paper House Design Team is having a Fall Blog Hop with a chance to win a fun prize.

Make sure to stop by the Paper House Blog to join in the fun.

My “Playing in the Pine Needles” layout was created for and sponsored by Paper House Productions.

The paper and stickers used in the layout were from the Autumn Woods Collection.

One of the best things about being on a design team is the opportunity to work with awesome

products. When I got my last box of goodies from Paper House Productions I instantly fell

in love with the Autumn Woods Collection.

The sweet water colored woodland animals are cute without being to cutesy.

I knew as soon as I saw them that they needed to be made into a pop-up card.

Tips…

I apply baby powder on the back of my stickers with a small paintbrush to remove the tackiness. That way I can use my stickers like die-cuts.
On the front of the card: I love adding dimension… so under the “Autumn is in the Air” and the “bunnies” I used 3-D foam mounting squares.
Add even more dimension to the inside of your pop up card by adding thin foam mounting squares to the stickers “tree” and “autumn woods” and strategically placing them on the background.
I created a couple of pop-up steps for my forest friends.

While cleaning up the Autumn Woods scraps laying on my desk, I decided to make a Fall

Collage using a rummage sale frame I picked up last month for next to nothing.

All in all… I would have to say that the Autumn Woods Collection has to be my favorite

Paper House Productions collection so far. (at least for the time being)

Here’s the list of the Paper House Products I used:
