It's Fall Y'all!

Happy Fall Y'all!  Yup yup I'm back to crafting...it was great to have time off and enjoy the end of summer and now to get back in the swing of things.  Do you know that was the first break I took that was longer than a week in over 5 years...wow?? LOL!  It was needed...that's all I will say. 

So we have kicked off my daughter's senior year and my son's sophomore year.  My son is playing both JV and Varsity football...he's a defensive end at 6'3.5 feet tall and 240 lbs.  So I am VERY busy with school stuff, work stuff and of course life stuffs.  That never changes right, hee hee.  But I am feeling extremely blessed, glad to have had time off to get back to being somewhat healthy in spirit, mind and body.  So thank you for sticking with me and I promise to have more projects completed soon :)  Yet today I am battling a tummy virus..what else ugh..that is going around so I will keep my chatter light today and hope you like the project!

Keep Up With Me:
As always I have other posts regularly on my other blog too if you want to check in over there at Bitz of Me!  I also post daily on Facebook most things I'm liking or doing...I have two twitters as well.  My twitter under my name is mostly my country music, random thoughts and sports twitter...my MoreBitzofMe Twitter is project post oriented. I have an Instagram as well that I'm TRYING to be better about posting to.  I have linked them all on both my blogs if you love social media like me and want to add me.

Fall Y'all


Today the Magnolia-licious DT has a fun Fall/Halloween Blog Hop for you all.
Everyone has created some special projects to share with you all today.
You can see the blog hop details HERE and we hope you find time to hop along with us today.


So I started out with a chalkboard I got off of Amazon...loved the distressed look and size.
However I didn't want to attach anything permanently to the chalkboard..I wanted something I could change out each season.   I made an insert with black cardstock that can easily fit inside the chalkboard frame and come out when needed.  
I LOVE SUBWAY CHALK ART...
so this subway art was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo from one of their files.  Then pieced together after I inked it well with brown ink and glued onto my black cardstock.


Then I added some extra details...with 3M foam so each element can be easily removed when I'm ready to change it for the season.  Nothing says fall like beautifully fall colored leaves to me..and crisp air outside..football..fires in the fireplace and comfort food.


I used an oldie but a goodie "Tilda in Fall Leaves"..one of my fall favorites..I used to love jumping into leaves.  Now I'm old enough to cringe at the bugs and spiders that may be lurking LOL...but I sure enjoyed it when I was young!
She's colored with a mix of Copics & TouchTwin markers (list to come).
Then I added some Stickles to the mix for pretty sparkle.



The leaves are older stamps from EKSuccess and then inked a bit and stuck on with small bits of 3M tape I cut up.  The leafy swirls are a Memory Box die cut out of dark yellow cs and inked and then I added some leaf punches to them.  Check out all the delicious dies that Magnolia-licious has in stock now...so many, so many I love and want ;)
Some raffia ribbon tied at the top to finish it off.
I love the way it turned out and can't wait to think up ideas for a wintry version. Its the perfect size to hang, lean or add to a fall arrangement...hope you like it too!



 Thanks everyone for stopping by...missed ya!!

Now you need to hop on to Patti Jo's for her sure-2-amaze-u project!!
