Family made out of wood blocks / Sous challenge (LEAVES)







Hello ladies...Well Thanksgiving is right around the corner. So what better way to celebrate by making wooden blocks about Family. Family is everything to me. I love spending time with my family on the holidays. I started making this set of blocks for my mom and dad, but then I really loved how they turned out , so I am keeping them for myself and making another set. OH yeh, this is also for the SOUS challenge of LEAVES. THey want you to use a diecut of leaves....I think I did just that.



Wood from my husbands stash

Family (title) cut @ 2 1/2" in dcwv fall paper

Leaves cut @ 2" in yellow cardstock and shadowed with a bronze color. Cut with Storybook cart. Inked with tim holtz walnut stain

Fancy corner (leaf) cut @ 1 1/4" with Storybook....Those are the ones with the button glitter sunflowers.

I used ms border punch, bakers twine, ribbon, buttons, jewels, flower and some green leaves (on the Y) from my stash.

I hope you all enjoy my creation today and have a wonderful Tuesday.
