Appreciating the Great Outdoors

16 Sep

It’s been a wild month so far! Our theme for September is the Great Outdoors and Mother Nature has been on the fierce side! We can still appreciate the natural world in all its moods and have it inspire our work. Let’s take a look at what the Inspiration Team has been up to:

Elizabeth Robinson is feeling the fall vibe and created a darling gardening journal to keep track of all of her end of season garden tasks. She used Belagio cork fabric to cover the Passport Book Die which gives it the perfect woodsy feel. All the details and plenty of photos can be found on her blog!

Have you ever had an issue keeping your supplies organized while working on a project? (Raising my hand.) Well, Jenny Marples has come up with a stunning solution. This floral fold-away masterpiece of organizations is full of compartments and trays to keep it all sorted and it looks fab while doing it! The structure is based on the online class project Eileen Hull recently taught at Country View Crafts. Head on over to Jenny’s blog post to learn all about it!

Anna-Karin Evaldsson is fortunate in that she can take daily walks in lovely natural surroundings. The forest is one of her favorite places so she used a beautiful photo she took on the cover of her DIY sketchbook project, made with the Notebook Die. She incorporates stamping and other techniques into this make so be sure to check out her tutorial on her blog.

Tonya Trantham shows off her going green skills with this Pocket Notebook journal made with recycled corrugated cardboard. Très chic! Delightfully decorated, the interior is full of mix and match papers. This approach would be a great start to a junk journal! Tonya has a tutorial and a lot more photos for you to peruse on her blog post so don’t miss it!

Anne Redfern has a delightful Halloween creation to share featuring fun papers from DCWV. This darling Trick or Treat Journal created using the Passport Book die and DCWV’s Halloween Spirit paper stack is filled with tricks AND treats! From the perfectly placed pages and imagery to the fibers and charms adorning the spine, this journal is packed with Halloween Spirit literally and figuratively.

You can check out all of the spooky details inside and out HERE.

Julia Aston shares a sweet project that can be used as home decor or a spook-tacular gift! She used the Basket Die along with the Spring Leaves die with DCWV papers to create this Boo-tiful basket of Jack-O-Lanterns and topped it off with my Bird Thinlit die. I dare say the bird die makes a fine crow when cut from black card stock.

Stop by Julia’s blog for more hauntingly adorable details.

Karen Bearse shares a Wrap Journal Project sure to make any Poe fan proud! This Raven clad Wrap Journal has it all! Texture paste, Stenciling, Distress Crayon, Dylusions Inks and Tim Holtz Halloween Ephemera are all present on the cover. Take a look inside and you’ll be treated to even more spooky sights and delights courtesy of DCWV’s Spooky and Sparkly papers.

Head to Karen’s Blog where she shares a tutorial you’ll want to crow about.

Lisa Hoel shares a whimsical Woodland Fairy Trinket Box project complete with all the colors of fall. The Trinket Box die is the perfect base for creating sweet little scenes like Lisa’s Woodland Fairy make. Our girl is no stranger to using this die for a variety of sensational scenes.

Take a walk through the woods of whimsy at Lisa’s Blog to learn more about how she constructed her Woodland Fairy Trinket Box.

Jenny Marples shares an absolutely delightful ticking fabric pumpkin project. Jenny’s fun fall creation features my Colorbox Blends inks on Spring Leaves die cuts atop the pumpkin. Vine details were added using wire twisted to perfection with the twist and style tool.

Do not miss Jenny’s Ticking Fabric Pumpkin Tutorial where she takes you through each and every step to create this pumpkin project.
