Season of mists....

Hello all and it's Friday - yippee! I'm looking forward to a mix of crafting and relaxing this weekend - but whether both will actually happen is another matter lol.  Thank you for all your lovely comments - and glad you liked the photos of the Lake District (they didn't turn out too badly considering they were actually taken on my phone!).

As it's Friday it's time for a new challenge over at CraftyCatz - and this week our lovely Janette is hosting the challenge and has chosen the theme of 'Autumn'.  I know that last weekend, and all during this week, I've really started to feel the change of season. The weather has been a bit changeable to say the least this week - from sunshine one minute to monsoon rain the next lol. But the leaves are all starting to change into the wonderful range of colours, from deep browns, golds, reds and yellows - I must try and take a pic of the Japanese acer that is in my little garden as it's always a delight to see, but particularly in Spring (when the leaves are a gorgeous purply pink) and in Autumn when they change to such deep reds and golds that it almost looks as though they are lit up from inside.

Sorry, too much waffle again there....   Back to the challenge!  Our sponsor this week is Fred She Said and I've used a great pumpkin image and decided to make a tag for a change


I've used kraft card for the tag, with some hessian ribbon wrapped around. The wording was printed on the computer, with lots of leaves added using the Spellbinders dies, and then plenty of distress inking on the edges.  I added a metal eyelet and some seam binding ribbon to finish.
Hope you like it.
Please pop over to have a look at the inspiration from the DT at CraftyCatz - they really have made some fantastic creations this week!  And then join in our challenge with your Autumn creation!
Back soon,
Kim x
