October Add On Digitals to Passport to Fall by Taylormadecards4u

My mid-month project for Taylormadecards4u isn't just one project, its a bunch of them lol 

I just had so much fun using Monica's digitals that I couldn't decide on one project so I made several. 

For these projects I used a variety of digitals and I'll link them all below

Wow, what an assortment of products to work with and if you visit Monica's shop at taylormadecards4u.com you'll find these beautiful products and many more to aid you in your Fall/Halloween and Christmas crafting. 

Now, a bit about my projects. Here's an overview of the whole lot of them. 

I created a set of tags. I've been experimenting a bit with mixed media and I added some gesso to the tags with my finger and let it dry, then I added a bit of paint with a stencil. I have a bit more work to do on the stenciling lol It didn't uite come out as I imagined, but I do love the pop of color. Then I collaged some of the Textured Florals onto the tags. I also tore out the butterfly from one of the papers and added it as an embellishment on the tag on the right. The tag in the middle  has one of the Fall Guest Check Journal Cards added and I've added some bits and pieces from my stash to the tags. You can also see to the right that I used some of Monica's paper from the Fall Passport Kit as embellishment on the vase that holds the flower bouquet that my daughter and I made. 

Next I played with the Fall Pockets. These will make a great addition to my Fall junk journal that I'm putting together, you can see a bit more of that below. I embellished the pockets and inked the edges to add some visual interest. 

For each pocket I made a journal card using some craft cardstock from my stash, some of the Textured Florals and the Fall Guest Check Journal Cards. I added a tab to each card using my tab punch and some of them I added a word strip to and one even has a leaf. I thought that I had made 6 and couldn't figure out where the other had gone, but I found it after I had finished taking pictures, it was hiding under some other pieces of the project. Isn't that always the way? Anyway, I think you get the picture. 

I also used the Fall Passport Kit to embellish an envelope that I'm stuffing with some goodies to send to a friend. On the right you can see that I've used one of the Textured Florals in a signature that I'm getting ready for my Fall junk journal. 

I can't even tell you how much fun I had playing with all of these goodies from Monica's shop. 

You really need to head over there and get some goodies to add to your stash. I'm sure that you'll find many ways to use them. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and having a look at my projects.

Passport to Fall

Today I'm excited to bring you a new project using Taylormadecards4u new Passport to Fall kit. Fall is my favorite season so I'm always excited to celebrate Fall in any way.

Let's take a look at Monica's digital kit Passport to Fall

This cute little journal can be used as a place to keep your memories for Fall and would also make a great addition to your junk journal. Let's have a look at my Altered File Folder.

Now, I'm not gonna lie to you....this was my very first time using gesso. I'm sure that I made a lot of mistakes, but in the end, I love the way that it came out. I collaged some dictionary pages onto the file folder and then started layering my other papers over that. The cover is embellished with a torn bit of one of Monica's digital papers and the quote and pumpkin from the kit. I also added a chipboard sticker that I had in my stash. 

I cut the papers to fit my page and on the pockets created by folding up the bottom of the folder. Then I just inked the edges of the cut aparts and slipped them in the pocket giving you lots of room for journaling and pictures. I attached paper pieces and ribbon to some of the cut aparts and I also stamped the words 'fall memories' on the tab of the file folder. That part doesn't show too well, in hindsight, I should have used a darker ink, but in person, you can see it fairly well. I also used some chipboard embellishments from a Fall collection that I had left over from a project last year. All in all, I really love the way my project turned out. 

Here's a better look at the inside panels.
