Autumn Bliss

Fall is my favorite season. Officially, it's Fall where I live. But I think Mother Nature missed the memo. It still feels like summer. 

Fortunately, Crafty Button Design has a kit for all us Fall lovers! The Autumn Bliss collection is a beautiful homage to this wonderful earth-toned season of oranges, reds, and browns. Take a look...

See what I mean? The Leafy Background papers make me want to go jump in a pile of freshly raked leaves - if we had any around, that is. ;)

The talented Crafty Button ladies created terrific eye candy with these packs:

Dream On

Just the phrase "Dream On" can be taken a lot of ways, depending on how you say it. And Pretty Dutch Designs has a beautiful take on Dream On visually, with her new packs for the MScraps Memory Mix for October!

These artsy elements and papers in purples and aquas take on an ethereal feel:

I love the wispy feel of promise in this collection. And the creative team had a couple of wonderful creations:

All the Dream On packs (bits, AJ papers, and artsy papers) coordinate with the October Memory Mix at Mscraps. You can find the entire collection at a special discounted price for the next few days. Be sure to grab it while you can!

Dollhouse - A Quaint Collection

I always wanted a dollhouse when I was a little girl. And I don't mean the big townhouse inhabited by Barbie. I'm talking about the typical, traditional dollhouse. 

So when I saw the gorgeous Dollhouse kit from Design by Heather T., I was quite intrigued. No, this isn't a dollhouse you can build, but there are oh-so-many quaint elements that I drooled over. Heather pulled inspiration from a children's journal from 1903. You'll find hand-drawn patterns from a vintage dollhouse catalogue on some of the papers, old-time drawings and word art, and a variety of delicate elements to embellish your creations. Take a look for yourself:

And here are a few ideas on how you can use Dollhouse:

Despite the name Dollhouse, this kit is versatile enough to be used on boy or girl pages, with colors ranging from purple to blue to tan to green. And through Sunday, you can purchase the whole collection for 20% off!

And no, I never got the dollhouse of my dreams as a child. However, I am seriously considering adding it as my next hobby. ;)
