Make My Monday is celebrating its last autumnal challenge this week. Firstly I must apologise for not visiting any blogs last week - I have been a bit poorly and all normal activities were scuppered. I hope to get round to some commenting this week. Anyway back to the business in hand. Us ladies over at MMM would love to see your creations with:-
The leaves are from a napkin or cut from paper which has been embossed with paste and embossing powders and then cut from a Creatable by Marianne Design (LR0156). Vintage Images, raffia and a Crafty Individuals stamp were added.
The front of the book is covered with paper that has been heavily embossed with Dreamweaver paste and embossing paste with mesh and micro beads added. The owl and saying (Paperartsy) was done before I decided on the poem but it does fit. Courage!
The image and text have been triple embossed with UTEE.
Autumnal Leaves
My piece for the Design Team which I hopes inspires you to join in is an altered niche book, which I started whilst on a workshop with the very very talented Christine Costello at The Cubby Hole. Christine is a wonderful artist and crafter and I hope she likes what I have done with her initial inspiration.
I have based the inside of the niche book on the poem "Falling Leaves" written by Margaret Postgate Cole. I hope you are able to read the words. The poem is based upon the Battle of the Somme in World War I. I thought it appropriate at this time of year with Rememberance Day soon and poppies now on sale.

Sorry for the picture overload

Thanks for popping by! Suzanne ~x~
