Weekly Challenge #23

Even though I'm not eligible to win any prizes this week, I'm still playing along with Scrapbook Steals mid-week mojo sketch.  I've been hanging on to these pics for several months, not sure what to do with them until now.  I had a lot of fun creating and coloring this week.  I struggled with how to do the title and then I had a brilliant idea.  I took chipboard letters and put them underneath my paper and rubbed over them with a crayon, just like we did with the leaves at the nature center.

I played around with different embellishments for a long time until I settled on these random leaves.  I used some silk leaves from my crafy collection and broke out my old stamps and embossed more leaves.  I even did some leaf rubbings using a fake leaf.  It's all kinda busy against the patterned leaf paper in the background, but by this point I was committed and didn't want to redo anything.  I did my journaling on chipboard and added some stitching to the frame using my Sew Easy.  Thanks for looking!
