Last year, we had enough apples on our trees to have a picking "event" in the backyard but this year brought exactly one apple total :) No worries, we picked up enough Honey Crisps today to last DH a couple of months! I do hope to get my act together and scrapbook more in the coming months... Today's outing is just so perfect for a mini-album for example!

Check out the wires around this chipboard accent. Isn't it cool? Those photo corners are created using the Wind It tool. I do appreciate the fun factor in this tool and the unique embellishments it creates.
In an effort to encourage myself to scrapbook more, I stopped by Archiver's after the family outing. I picked up both the Yearbook and Classic Calico v.3 paper packs and a few other things. I couldn't believe how I've been missing out for months! Those two collections are seriously breathtaking! I reflected how much I have changed! Four years ago, I would have pre-ordered, ordered, and bought such lovelies the minute CHA sneaks came out! LOL. It's all good. :) Now that the kids are older, life is so much busier! Enough rambling on here at the old blog and time to do some scrapping! A wonderful weekend to you!

Beautiful page, Jing Jing. I love the metal accents. It is isn't it! Brrr! Glad we got our squash, pumpkins and the last of our garden pickings in Friday. I am not ready for the winter that follows. I need to go apple picking!! I need my fill of Honey Crisp too!! :) I also want to try the Sweet Tangos. Looking forward to our trip to McDougal's in Afton.
love the metal accents!!
Oh I love this!!! How fab do those wires look like that! Awesome work!
What a fabulous layout, Jing Jing! I love the non-traditional papers and colors you used here and love what you did with the wire. The wire wrap on that chipboard piece is really cool!
The Wind It tool seems pretty cool! I bet you could probably use it to make jewelry charms too? Can't wait to see the upcoming apple pages &/or mini book! Need to get to Archivers soon, myself...
Now I'm going to have to dig that chipboard out of my stash and see what I can create with it! Quit shaming me into using my stash :) Love the layout, the colors are perfect!
Love this layout!!! The wire on the chipboard is such a clever idea!!!

Love the use of the metal on your ever so creative layout!
Comment ai-je pu ne pas voir cette merveilleuse page Jing jing? Je ne connaissais pas cette machine ni cette technique mais c'est du plus bel effet. Merci de la faire partager!
