For my project, I wanted something simple but yet rustic.  Pathfinding B&T Papers are so beautiful and provide a modern rustic appeal.  The papers are so versatile through any project you want to do!!

This A2 card base is Colonial White with Pathfinding and Yuletide B&T Papers.  I had a Herringbone embossing folder that I wanted to use to give a dimensional look to the Yuletide paper in the background with the bottom layer of Champagne cardstock.  I then used coordinating colors with Pathfinding, Colonial White and Barn Red, I cut out 2 "Autumn" sentiments (same size) and attached them to create a shadow.  The acorn cut was cut using one B&T paper, the acorns and leaf fill was one side and the other side was the top layers of acorn and outer edging of cut.  I added a burlap bow in the upper corner along with rust colored Stickles too add a little bling to my acorn cut.

It is simple, clean and cute!

My name is Traci Williams and I am an Independent Consultant with Close to my Heart and my project features a mini photo album with pocket pages.

Here is the project I made with the Scaredy Cat B&T Paper from Close to my Heart.

I received this mini album from a friend of mine and what a great time to decorate it up!
I also used previous Halloween papers from Close to my Heart...just to show that after a couple of years, you can still mix and match!

Scaredy Cat is a beautiful paper pack, it can work as a stand alone paper without incorporating Halloween into the mix...I also love the new color Close to my Heart added to this paper pack..it is called "Thistle"...Click--->>HERE to see the entire Thistle collection.

I measured every page of this album, that is one important thing to do!  Not every page is the same size on certain albums.  I penciled in the measurements on the specific page where I would cover with B&T papers and/or cardstock.

I also made cuts from the Artbooking Cricut Collection from Close to my Heart.

The Chevron Embossing Folder can be purchased with Close to my Heart.  Click here to see all the embossing folders Close to my Heart has by clicking--->>HERE.  For the BOO embossed page, I distressed around the word "BOO" and used sponge dauber along with Sunset Exclusive Ink Pad to add color to the embossed image.
