Blackboard Menu by Gini Williams Cagle

Products used: Best Creation's Hello Fall HF004,010, Chipboard Letters CBA001

Gini fussy cut the center of the die cut away, leaving a frame. She glued the frame to a heavy piece of cardboard that had been sprayed with Chalkboard paint. She then added a couple of rosettes and some rustic ribbon, and had a cute blackboard that she can write her Thanksgiving menu on!

 Pumpkin Place Card by Gini Williams Cagle

 Products used: Best Creation's Hello Fall HF001, 003, 013, CS030, CBA003

 For this little 3-d pumpkin, Gini cut 5 strips of paper 1" x 12", backed them with the glitter cardstock, and joined them in the center with a brad. She fanned them out evenly, and attached the tops together to form the pumpkin.

What a perfect and festive way to decorate your table!

Loops & Scoops!

Canobie Lake Fun by Nicole Wise

Products used: Best Creation's Loops & Scoops LS001, LS002, LS006, LS 011, LS012, LS013, LS014, FT003

"Best Creation makes creating a two page layout so easy by making a set of side by side papers for each line! The two page set for Loops and Scoops is perfect for scrapping any theme park adventure. There is already so much fun stuff on the papers that you don't need to add much except for your photos, title, and journaling! I had duplicates of each of the papers, so I cut out a few of the elements at the bottom of the page and layered them over the the ones on my background paper to create some fun dimension!"
