Falling for Fall...

This time of year happens to such a favorite. In northeast Ohio, it was on the chilly side today and so I broke out the Fall decor and went to work with home decor. It takes 2-3 days to transform my house during the season, and after looking at the same old stuff for months, I welcome the change...

I made several of these today using these jars from Ikea (thanks, Jen!) and orange m&m's. The velvet scalloped ribbon was perfect for this project, and I rolled the stem and glued it in place on top of a flower on the lid...I also couldn't wait to make these favors from the Martha Stewart Halloween line found at Michael's. Man, have you seen the stuff there? I went overboard and got a few items that spoke to me, and you'll see more to come here on the blog...
If you're looking to get plugged in to the Halloween spirit a little early, be sure to sign up for Martha's Halloween newsletter. I love all the creative ideas over there...

And speaking of creative ideas, I started this class today with Pattie and I'm so excited I could burst!! The possibility of learning photoshop elements in addition to the editing program I have now (HP software that came with my computer printer and Photoshop 7) have me jumping out of my chair. If you haven't signed up for the class, it just started, and it comes with the most awesome templates from Pattie, who is a designer over at Designer Digitals. There is an active forum over at Get it Scrapped related to the class, and there is also another private forum over at Willow Traders if you decide to take the plunge. I hope to see you there!!
