I can't thank you enough for checking out my project.  I hope that fall has been good to you not like here we had 3 inch hail. 

     Today's post is  Just-a-Scrapin' challenge Oct. 9, 2015 Celebrating Fall.  With water damage inside and hail damage outside I had to do something out of the box to lighten up. All embellishments, paper and card stock is from my stash so I do not have all the names of the  companies.

I took a wire wreath frame, added ribbon and a string of peals, sewed on the over sized flowers.  With Dots, Zots and Glue Dots added paper, silk and plastic leaves, paper and 3D punkins, May Art Ribbons flowers in pink, die cut flowers and butterflies then added different items to the center of the over sized flowers from buttons to felt smaller flowers.                                                 Thanks for visiting and Hope you will come back.  Have a great crafty day.  Sherry
