Stamping and fussy cutting and paper tearing oh my

Well if you read yesterday's post you are aware

of my whining about all things changing in my scrapbooking

and in my head, scrapbooking to the storage.

So therefore, in defiance to that notion I made a feel good page.

Using a stampede stamp that was lolling about in

stash somewhere in a drawer that I had completely forgotten

about, and using some distress inks I stamped

some leaves because its October.

 And October in Florida just means the schoolbuses are out. LOL.

No pretty leaves changing or things like that.

However, it was a fun page.

I found this paper from the Paper Studio which was

rustic and cool enough to use for an October page.

I mussed it up and found my long lost tonic tool to muss it up more.

I backed it with Recollections cardstock in grey and

even stamped some leaves where it's torn and

now covered up with fussy cut leaves.

The entire page is all about Tim Holtz stuff, because I wanted

some rustic, shabby chic looking letters and dug

into some stash of grunge board alphas.

I used Studio Calico clean slate paint and some

plain jane white, along with some sandpaper and made

some funky rustic alphas.

And don't the Blue Ridge mountains just rock.

The colors are glorious.

Those little butterflies are TH too. 

There's a stamp tucked at the top left corner and

a little ruler as a mat for the photo.
