Fall projects.

Today I'm sharing my entries in to September's Guest Star Stamper contest over at Papertrey Ink. I totally forgot about these (losing) projects as I had them in a different folder.

For my first project I decided to think outside the box - literally. I took a Clearly Creative Card Box and cut it in half, formed it, then filled the inside with some chocolate covered graham crackers (heck no they aren't homemade - LOL). I then embellished my container with patterned papers from PTI cut using the Nested Maple Leaves from Spellbinders, ribbon and buttons, some Maya Road trinket pins and a little sentiment from Tags for Spring.

My second project is my first attempt at using one of the Timeless Templates from Papertrey. And even though I like the end product, I have to say, this was probably my first and last time working from a template like this. I just don't have the patience or I'm not talented enough or something, but, yeah - not for me. Again I used the leaf Nesties to make cut outs so you could peep in the box to see the candies inside.
