The Beauty Of The Season

Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate! Chocolate chocolate chocolate is what I hope my kids score tonight! I can't believe tomorrow is November! The holidays are upon us now. The year has really flown by, and there is so much to do. Is anyone else already feeling stress?
Anyway,  there are lots of challenges this week that I wanted to participate in as always, but I've been bogged down with readying myself for classes this weekend, so I thought I would show a small project I did for Make N Takes last month, which happens to qualify for all the challenges I want to participate in. How convenient! ;0) Compendium of Curiousities II Challenge is "Kraft Faux Suede" from Tim's book pg. 40, which is also being sponsored by The Funkie JunkieSimon Says Stamp & Show's challenge is "Just Add Pearls", Sunday Stamper's challenge is "Autumn", and Artistic Outpost's October Referral Challenge is "Anything Goes".
 
Enjoy The Beauty Of The Season ATC
This is a real acorn cap from my MIL's tree. I've never seen any like this before her tree. The idea for the acorn comes from the marvelous Shelly Hickox.  I still have a few of these kits left, and have been thinking about offering my extra kits at a lower price here on my blog. If a few people are interested I will do that. Just let me know.
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon, especially with the Holidays so close at hand!
