Autumn Crafts

I saw this craft on Elizabeth Kartchner's blog: Dear Lizzy (and she found it in a magazine). The kids painted canning jars that my MIL gave me years ago. They have a grid-like pattern in them with a smooth-finish square on one side. Pefect place for a pumpkin face. I put the face on with masking tape and put out four colors of paint (so I didn't end up with a pink pumpkin jar!)





They turned out better than I thought they would! A treasure to keep forever. I put battery-operated tea light candles in them. The next day at school, Ella painted a small pumpkin with glitter and sequins and they wrapped a fall themed bow around it with silk leaves. It is so cute and so Ella. It fits pefect in between the two jars.



This is my most recent creation, using my Sizzix Vegabond. I had a lot of fun making this. I worked for hours on it one Sunday while Eric and the kids were watching football. (It's not that shiny- just the glare from the lamp and flash.)





Some layouts using Crate Paper's Farmhouse line. I love love love pumpkin pictures!








A canvas I made also using the farmhouse line, with some of our family pictures from last fall. The prompt/challenge a few weeks ago on the Crate Paper blog was the word "Home." And this is what I came up with!
