I am in an Autumn mood. Fall colors are inspiring me. This journal was made using K & Company papers, Paper Whimsy images, seam binding and Tim Holtz accents. There are also K & Company 3-D embellishments. I don’t work with bright hues often, but the papers set my muse for this project.
I hate to say good-bye to summer because it is here for only a blink of an eye. The heat has been unbearable this year. Looking forward to tending the veggie and flower beds with the cooler temps ahead. Lots to do and so little time before we will be raking leaves and preparing for snow!
Happy September everyone – and may you have a safe and Happy Labor Day!
So beautiful,Nancy……and a gorgeous selection of colours.
Nancy your work always amazes me. Never have I seen anyone who came make K&Company papers & embellishments look so vintage. What an wonderful autumn journal you’ve created!
Hi dear Nancy,
love your autumn colors, and dear image- with the beautiful flowers-and the seambinding in the bag of the journal,-
it is a very sweet journal.
Today my husbond have digged up all the potatoes,in the garden,and placed them in our cellar,for the coming winter.
Wish you sunny and cooler dayes,dear.

Hi Nancy,
I took your recent class in Artful Gathering and didn’t get it done in time to post any photos, so here they are!

I blogged about you too. Thanks for a lovely class! I’m finishing the box now and will post about it this week. Love, Linda
I am definitely in a fall mood but the weather, here, is not! It is SO humid again! Ick! We are supposed to get storms to relieve this awful humidity.
I absolutely love your journal here! It’s stunning with the colors and image – your touches are just perfection.
Thoughts of you always……xxoo Marilyn
This is a real beauty, Nancy! I love nature’s autumn color palette and it has worked beautifully for you, too.
What a beautiful creation,love the colors.
Bet we’re a bit cooler up north. I put the Basil under cover and looks like the 40’s tonight.
Have to admit it feels good and that fresh air smells terrific.

Hi Nancy, love your journal and lovely autumn colours. We are into spring here with the hot summer ahead…don’t look forward to the summer but will enjoy the spring while I can. Have a great week !!
Dear Nancy,
I’m with you..The heat has been way too much and the unsettled weather is so scary. Love this young girl in your beautifula art work. She is so serious looking! I’m sure she has good reason to be…today is too hot..hope for better tomorrow! Enjoy the holiday!
Oh Nancy I love it.
A gorgeous journal. So beautiful as always. xoxo
I love it! Gorgeous piece of art!

Absolutely beautiful journal cover. Love everything about it! The papers are so fitting for a fall-ish journal. Love the flowers and the ribbon and bow you added to the cover. This is another perfect example of your elegant, classic style. <3 Candy

Thanks for sharing,

Another gorgeous creation, Nancy! I often see the same embellishments in your art that I have here at home–I know we love the same things! Every time I have a good coupon and a little money, I go to Michael’s or JoAnn’s and get a little something, like those K & Co appliques, pretty paper, or Tim Holtz goodies . . . and I’ve always loved using antique buttons and images of butterflies . . . and sparkles! The difference between us is that you’re actually busy and committed to your art, while it takes me forever to get any projects done because I procrastinate–still, your beautiful art is always so inspiring to me. We’re going to hit 98 degrees today–too much heat for me, but at least we don’t have the humidity to deal with–have a wonderful, wonderful week!
Fall is my favorite season, indeed! I hate the summer humidity. Right now it is raining but that is OK with me.
I too love the K & Co. papers.
Stay cool!
