Don't you just love Fall? Ah, it's my very favorite time of the year. Cool, crisp days. Yummy apple cider. Pumpkins to carve and bake. Kids back in school. And fabulous new scrapbook paper like this Forever Fall line by Bo Bunny. There are 10 wonderful, double sided designs that lend themselves perfectly to off-the-page creations. Using only 4 pieces of paper, some leftover buttons, and a bit of baker's twine, I made this wreath - in under two hours! Tim Holtz's Sizzlit Paper Rosette dies cut and score the rosettes in minutes so that all you have to do is glue them together, add a few buttons, and adhere them to a styrofoam wreath. Quick and easy - just the type of project I love! Can't wait to make another. For Christmas this time? The toughest part is deciding which paper to use: Bo Bunny's Father Christmas line or maybe Little Yellow Bicycle's Wonder and Wishes or how about Crate Paper's Peppermint collection? Decisions, decisions.

Love the wreath!! The rosette die is one of my favorites in the TH collection---although still it's tough to pick a favorite :) I saw recently online someone who made the rosette from the 6x12 Metal Foil sheets, colored with alcohol inks. The project was so stinkin cool and I found the link for you. Hopefully the copy/paste thing will work and you'll be able to see it.

Thanks for the 40% coupon from the blog post. I was in a couple of days ago and picked up the Tim Holtz stamp set---think it's called Christmas Memories. The Santa in that set is so cool!
Thanks for the link Janine. That is very cool!
Great idea Fawn! The wreath is amazing :) I have that die already so I will have to give this a try!
Plus, we have the wreath hanging in the store with the products you'll need on display! It's beautiful, Fawn!
That wreath is seriously gorgeous, and it's even prettier in person!
Such a cool wreath! I am going to have to try out those dies for sure. I just picked up Tim Holtz for Sizzix December words dry embossed words from Scrappy Chic and am loving them!!!
