Hill Ridge Farms

Hi!

With Halloween just days away I have a timely scrapbook page share with pictures from our recent visit to the pumpkin patch, Hill Ridge Farms.

This is one of my usual Two Peas hybrid pages with a twist. Each week one of the Creative Digital Team members picks a paper page from the gallery to recreate in digital or hybrid form and this is my week!

I chose this fabulous page by talented Garden Girl Lynn Ghahary. Isn't this page darling?

I used the gorgeous 'Autumn Leaves' kit by Polka Dot Pixels for my project. It includes a lot of fabulous vintage accents that I adore!

Here's my boys on their annual train ride at the patch. Look at Christopher's face. He was in a quiet sort of mood that day.

I used one of my favorite Papertrey Ink dies and made a bunch of buttons to scatter throughout the page. If you look carefully, you may even notice those that blend in with the patterned paper.

What a fun assignment this was! I look forward to my next paper to digital (hybrid)! Thanks to Lynn for her terrific page design!

Before I go I have to tell you about a sinful cake I made from a Pinterest recipe. Yep, I'm at it again! ;)

This is Almond Cake with Almond Frosting from Sweet and Savory by Sarah. Oh wow is it DELICIOUS! So moist...there's a little sour cream in it. So sinfully good! I made cupcakes instead of a sheet cake. This is to help me with portion control. Otherwise, I'd cut a little slice and eat the rest of the cake!!!! :) Anyway, this cake is ultra easy too. What more can you ask for?

Have a sweet day!

Autumn

Hello!

Isn't this a fabulous time of year for crafting?!?! I love all the rich vibrant colors of the season! And then there are pumpkins, leaves, hay stacks, Halloween spooks...the list goes on and on!

Here's my latest fall craft...a hybrid card created with a new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Autumn Leaves' by Polka Dot Pixels.

I was really excited to see this kit includes a couple little pennant strips that I could use to make flags...because you know I can't get enough of them!

I used a favorite Papertrey Ink die for this leaf sprig made with this cool green hounds tooth print from the kit.

I don't talk about pop dots much, but they're used on nearly every one of my projects! I got to have the texture it creates along with the dry embossed circle I used to frame my accents.

Have you seen the new design team introductions happening at the Doodlebug Designs blog? They started yesterday and feature three designers a day until Monday. Today is my day and I couldn't be more excited to be introduced with two of my favorite artists! What an honor! Anyway, if you'd like to know who those artists are or learn a thing or two about me that you didn't know before, head on over!
