Rainy weekend treat

It's raining here - nothing out of the ordinary for fall weather. It does mean that the we're stuck inside and the creative bug is really biting me hard so I got out my Paper Trunk goodies and made something fun.

I drew the inspiration for the colors on this page from the changing leaves around me. I adore fall colorsI pulled out 1974's Right On Paper and the Jellybean border stamps (they're 12 inches long!!!). Using some orange ink, I stamped the spotted background. But, I didn't want the entire background to be spotted, so I tore out the center from the Krafty Collection scalloped paper and used it as a mask for the orange paper on the reverse side of Right On. I then trimmed the scalloped circle and gave it a border of orange yarn. I cut other circles and scallops from the center piece of the Krafty paper and Paper Trunk's Gigi Compassionate. Some circles I layered behind the Magistical Memories chipboard circle border. Because we were at an airshow when the photo was taken, I cut an airplane from Kraft paper and a little banner to trail behind the airplane and another chipboard airplane. These were decorated with ink and glimmer mist. The Paper Trunk Flair is placed on some pleated trim and stuck to the page using Helmar 450 Quick Dry. And, the title was placed using the Paper Trunk Carson Alphabet Stickers in Chocolate.

In all, I think the page turned out just as yummy as chocolate and the colors cheered me as much as the turning of leaves on a sunny day. I hope you enjoy some bonus crafty time as the weather turns cold where you live!
