Another Jungle Layout

Since I am not putting titles on these little 8"x8" jungle layouts for my friends it is hard to know what to name the posts!  ;)  This is another one for the little companion album.  I should only have about three or four more double layouts or six or eight singles left.  Depends on exactly which pictures I decide to go with.  Here is the one I came up with for some shots of their kiss in the jungle:
The photos are 3 1/2"x5" and matted with some green cardstock, cut at 3 3/4"x5 1/4."  I used Folk Art Festival for the borders, which are cut at 2 3/4."  I adhered the photos down, then added the borders.  I trimmed them off on the outside edges since they were a little longer than 8" wide.  I covered the hearts on the border with some green glitter, then used foam tape to adhere them for asome dimension.  I also used folk Art Festival for the heart.  I cut it at 4."  I layered it all togher, then cut it in half so that I could put one side on each page.  I then used some platinum Stickles to "color in" the birds within the heart.  The flowers are all from Cricut Essentials, cut at varying sizes from 1 1/2" to 2 1/4."  I used foam adhesive to adhere some of them down as well.

Autumn Wall Hanging

Since my husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving this year I think I need to make my house look the part.  I have my centerpiece and I do have some other decorations, but I thought I needed a wall hanging for next to my front door.  So, I created this:
 
I used Folk Art Festival for all the cuts on this one.  I cut the apples at 4" using the shadow and blackout features.  I cut all the letters at 3."  The animals are all 2 1/2," except the hedgehog, which is 2."  I adhered the letters and animals with foam tape and pop-dots for added dimension.  I adhered the apples to two pieces of ribbon.  It is hung by more ribbon tied in a bow.  All the papers are from the DCWV Gilded Orchard Stack.




 
I made this for the challenge at Stuck On U Sketches, which is to use the word "fall" or "autumn."

Apple Shaped Card

I just got Folk Art Festival recently and tried it out by making a shape card with it.  I used Cricut Craft Room to weld two apples, using the shadow feature.  They were cut at 5."  I then cut another apple using the shadow feature at 4 3/4."  I cut a regular blackout apple from some glittery cardstock and the regular apple with the cut-outs, both at 4 3/4."  I created a tag from some ivory cardstock and used a Fiskars stamp and pearlescent crimson ink by Tsukineko to stamp my sentiment.  I adhered it to the card and finished off the card with three pieces of baker's twine, tied in a bow.  Just a quick and simple one today.  Enjoy!
I made this for the challege at Celebrate the Occasion, which is to use an apple on your project.
