Handmade Burlap Fall Wreath

Hello there..... here is my Guest DT project for Die Cuttin Diva's
Thank you Georgiana Carson for the invite to join as guest DT
I really appreciate the opportunity.

 I've been wanting to create one of these wreaths
and finally got around to doing it,
thanks to Corina's Creative place

for sharing her wreath that she made
and sharing the tutorial video

it is now hanging on my door :)

I've also added fall colored shaped leaves from
Cricut Cartridge-Mother’s Day Bouquet 
used 3 embossing folders from Darice
inked leaves with walnut stain and tea dye Tim Holtz distress ink
added a couple of pine cones I collected several years ago
metal wreath frame(Walmart)

I never thought there would be so many American flag designed clothing,I was pretty impressed and people were proud to show off the RED,WHITE and Blue!!!

filler cards are scrapbook pattern paper(red with stars and blue polka dots)

Monday Madness Project Life-Everyday Life #23

As you may know Bimini Moose has closed it's doors as of June,

 as a member of her design team I did weekly posts titled "Monday Madness" 

which consisted of  Project Life pages and filler card projects.

I have decided to continue posting "Monday Madness"

and it helps me not fall behind on my project life pages........

I am NOT the traditional Project Lifer and I create my pages by "Months"
instead of weekly like they do traditionally.
It's whatever works for me when it works!!!

For Today's post this is of course more photos of our Road Trips via our motorcycle,this is something both my husband and I enjoy doing together one road trip for us will usually consist of a 200+ mile bike ride,my friends think we're crazy....lol


These photos were taken on Father's Day as our adult kids had made their own plans, my husband and I decided to hit the road and enjoy the beautiful day,which it was!
also stopped by in Winterset,Iowa birth home of John Wayne(who would of thought?!)

materials used;
We R memory keepers-PL "Daily DIY" card set
