<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jfV5vpbZO4Y/UE3yp2g7ToI/AAAAAAAACK4/X3-aSQ_X-dQ/s1600/IMG_0004+(700x466).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jfV5vpbZO4Y/UE3yp2g7ToI/AAAAAAAACK4/X3-aSQ_X-dQ/s320/IMG_0004+(700x466).jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1.Thread needle with twine and set aside.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2. Place button in the center of first circle and pierce holes for the twine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2. Stack remaining circles and pierce 1/2 inch from the edge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4. Place first circle on paper piercer and then add remaining circles. Fan out the circles so that they complete a circle around the first circle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CgZ4KGQ7pbs/UE4gKMudEMI/AAAAAAAACMs/aNLc38r4Mlk/s1600/c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CgZ4KGQ7pbs/UE4gKMudEMI/AAAAAAAACMs/aNLc38r4Mlk/s320/c.jpg" height="292" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5. Hold circles firmly, remove paper piercer.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 6. Run needle and twine through bottle cap, circles, and button so that button will be inside the cap when the twine is pulled tight. Run twine back down through second button hole, circles, and bottle cap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 7. Press button into bottle cap and tie tightly with two knots. Leave twine ends for attaching flower to project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NR-BXRKZMKQ/UE4gK99VwAI/AAAAAAAACM0/rdI-M2XspKY/s1600/d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NR-BXRKZMKQ/UE4gK99VwAI/AAAAAAAACM0/rdI-M2XspKY/s320/d.jpg" height="320" width="290" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 8. Fold circles down around the bottle cap to resemble a flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoXoZcgFAr0/UE4gLgyExUI/AAAAAAAACM8/Iz85T7fMqgY/s1600/da.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DoXoZcgFAr0/UE4gLgyExUI/AAAAAAAACM8/Iz85T7fMqgY/s320/da.jpg" height="292" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 9. Attach to project by piercing corresponding holes in cardstock and tie twine ends. After attaching use a little hot glue to hold the bottle cap firmly to the page. <br />
<br />
As you can see this tutorial was originally written for vellum. Patterned paper is much thicker and fewer circles will fit inside the bottle cap. The process is the same and yields a classy flower.<br />

These fall themed papers are perfect for a page about a family gathering. Although I love the die-cuts and chipboard, I also like to add 3-dimensional embellishments to may pages. On this page, I made these 3D paper leaves.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MbZmxKBWq6w/VF5lNoSHANI/AAAAAAAAAWA/c4jHugM3tXw/s1600/DSC_7878.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MbZmxKBWq6w/VF5lNoSHANI/AAAAAAAAAWA/c4jHugM3tXw/s1600/DSC_7878.JPG" height="398" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have leaf stamps which I used to make these leaves. However, these instructions could be modified to use die-cut leaves or leaves fussy cut from patterned paper. If you are not coloring your leaves, then you can jump down to the part where I fussy cut the leaf. Since I would be coloring, I started by choosing some markers which are appropriate for leaves and match my paper collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-snKo8O-LJwo/VF5nZTwp5jI/AAAAAAAAAWg/NQpA2BwL9tk/s1600/photo%2B1%2B(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-snKo8O-LJwo/VF5nZTwp5jI/AAAAAAAAAWg/NQpA2BwL9tk/s1600/photo%2B1%2B(7).JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I decided to stamp my leaves with dark brown ink, but black would work too. For this leaf, I chose to use 3 shades of brown and the colorless blender. I color dark to light and I made the inside of my leaf dark shading out to lighter color near the edges. Leaves with darker edges shading to a lighter center also look realistic, so there are plenty choices for coloring. I start with my darkest shade and just color some of the middle of the leaf.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Id_Ie59vBk/VF5mi5oQvlI/AAAAAAAAAWM/nPvFpUb6TBo/s1600/photo%2B3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Id_Ie59vBk/VF5mi5oQvlI/AAAAAAAAAWM/nPvFpUb6TBo/s1600/photo%2B3.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I take one shade lighter and color further towards the edges. My strokes with this marker go over the color from the darker marker to blend.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e3UAxBcnLgE/VF5mjRnyaZI/AAAAAAAAAWU/J3R1cSMc1iU/s1600/photo%2B4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e3UAxBcnLgE/VF5mjRnyaZI/AAAAAAAAAWU/J3R1cSMc1iU/s1600/photo%2B4.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I continue coloring in this manner with all my shades, in this case 3, until the leaf is completely covered. Then I use my colorless blender over all the other colors from the inside towards the edge. I continue using the colorless blender until I like how the colors are blended. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hr4hgPDwSnQ/VF5pNh9_VGI/AAAAAAAAAWs/xtqjhD9t73Y/s1600/photo%2B1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hr4hgPDwSnQ/VF5pNh9_VGI/AAAAAAAAAWs/xtqjhD9t73Y/s1600/photo%2B1.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I am satisfied with the look of the leaf, I fussy cut it out. I don't wait for the markers to dry, I'm just careful with the damp paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-P7yXHc6wk/VF5qA-crADI/AAAAAAAAAXM/1iK4bTJ3To4/s1600/photo%2B2%2B(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-P7yXHc6wk/VF5qA-crADI/AAAAAAAAAXM/1iK4bTJ3To4/s1600/photo%2B2%2B(1).JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the leaf is fussy cut, I put it upside-down on something soft (like the palm of my hand). I squirt the back with water. Then I play with it to form the shape. I don't have a stylus so I just use anything plastic with a rounded tip I can find, usually my bone folder. I poke with the tool on the back just inside the edges to make the edges curl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XtYt-GhyF1g/VF5pgg2PxlI/AAAAAAAAAXE/JdIQP2MWiF4/s1600/photo%2B3%2B(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XtYt-GhyF1g/VF5pgg2PxlI/AAAAAAAAAXE/JdIQP2MWiF4/s1600/photo%2B3%2B(1).JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I turn the leaf right-side up and fold along the veins. Sometimes I poke in the middle a bit as well. Typically, I flip the leaf over a couple of time poking and folding until I have the desired shape.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O-d1_xrk08I/VF5pOMf3mKI/AAAAAAAAAW0/c9Xv7cNrfWE/s1600/photo%2B5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O-d1_xrk08I/VF5pOMf3mKI/AAAAAAAAAW0/c9Xv7cNrfWE/s1600/photo%2B5.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I let the leaf dry, they maintain their shape and can be handled. I adhere them to my page using glue dots or foam as I would with any paper flower or leaf. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wIFEcmZ25jE/VF5pN8izUiI/AAAAAAAAAWw/nx-I4SKeMVI/s1600/photo%2B4%2B(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wIFEcmZ25jE/VF5pN8izUiI/AAAAAAAAAWw/nx-I4SKeMVI/s1600/photo%2B4%2B(1).JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My challenge to you is to use any parts of this tutorial to create your own paper leaves to use on your scrapbook page or other fall project. </div>

Today on the message board we are challenging our members to use drips on their layouts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1yWAsfzPhvg/VFuZ-grQjRI/AAAAAAAADd4/S-n-KKabSgI/s1600/MS%2BHappy%2BHalloween%2BNAS%2B342.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1yWAsfzPhvg/VFuZ-grQjRI/AAAAAAAADd4/S-n-KKabSgI/s1600/MS%2BHappy%2BHalloween%2BNAS%2B342.jpg" height="320" width="319" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This layout was created based on a sketch from <a href="http://www.nutsaboutsketches.blogspot.com/">Nuts About Sketches</a>. </div>
<br />
There are different ways to create drips with your mists/sprays.<br />
1- hold the bottle high above the paper and then press the pump down
slowly, but not all the way. It makes the mist come out in bigger drops,
but is harder to control.<br />
2- unscrew your pump. Hold the tube above your layout and press the pump down, it comes out, from the bottom of the tube, in big splats.
(occasionally it sprays out of the top also so be sure to protect your
area or cover that in some way)<br />
3- for smaller splats, pump the tube into your bottle a time or 2 to get most of the spray out of the tube
before doing step 2 to your layout (that is what I did with the above
layout)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fC18DZ9h6bw/VFubUZwzm6I/AAAAAAAADeE/VDmJPPZ_7hs/s1600/MS%2BHappy%2Bcloseup2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fC18DZ9h6bw/VFubUZwzm6I/AAAAAAAADeE/VDmJPPZ_7hs/s1600/MS%2BHappy%2Bcloseup2.jpg" height="277" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now to make it run:<br />
Normally, I will just hold my layout upright and bump it against my table.<br />
You can also blow it around your layout. It gives it the sharper turns like I have under the bat.<br />
For more control, use a straw.<br />
<br />

I came up with today's tutorial after one-too-many frustrations with paper. I love the look of accordion fold flowers but have adhesive issues. When I attach the ends to make the strip of paper into a circle it always comes undone or is too bulky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M-Lp9OZDzOo/UX_KkDO-cbI/AAAAAAAAF0g/2qejtXbCzUM/s640/be+happy+(2).JPG" height="217" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I set my problem soving brain to work and came up with a circle format.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bluaj_mIE1I/UX2shA7b5eI/AAAAAAAAFzw/M_riOPwx4f8/s1600/accordion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bluaj_mIE1I/UX2shA7b5eI/AAAAAAAAFzw/M_riOPwx4f8/s400/accordion.jpg" height="387" width="400" /></a></div>
Here are the directions:<br />
Step 1:Cut a 4 inch circle from cardstock.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 2:Score your circle into 16ths as shown in box 1 and box 2</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 3:Cut a 1.5 inch circle out of the center.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 4:Bunch center of the circle together to create an accordion flower, secure with adhesive. I use hot glue which looks a tad messy so I add a paper covering circle on top. <br />
If you make accordion folds from circles 2.5inches or smaller you will need to cut a 1inch circle from the center.<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
I've posted a great Christmas project to the forum that uses this Accordion Fold method.</div>

There's a new challenge up today over at <a href="http://www.memorableseasons.com/phpBB2/index.php?sid=573370c9a5aa5515a923d603fa64c94b">Memorable Seasons forum </a></div>
<div class="postbody" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="postbody" style="text-align: center;">
I had 3 of these really fun envelopes in my kit, but I
just didn't want to use them the way they were intended to be used. (I
guess I'm a bit of a rebel) </div>
<div class="postbody" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I took this navy w/ white polka-dots
envelope and cut down each side and across the bottom and then cut the
closing flap apart from the back piece, laid it out under my photo and
there you go. Pretty and fun! </div>
<div class="postbody" style="text-align: center;">

Charity Here!</div>
<div align="center">
I'm challenging paper crafters to add a sunburst to layouts or cards. <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you are a little rusty on sunburst mechanics I've got a quick tutorial that will help out.</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Step 1:</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
Fold a 6x6 sheet of paper in half diagonally</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7iBPvIQTOhY/VAekBjSxUlI/AAAAAAAAHZQ/wnhFls4xXFU/s1600/sun1%2B(1000x599).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7iBPvIQTOhY/VAekBjSxUlI/AAAAAAAAHZQ/wnhFls4xXFU/s1600/sun1%2B(1000x599).jpg" height="191" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fold it in half again</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5QyHIuyEh-o/VAekC5LLcoI/AAAAAAAAHZY/8nUpRImvspM/s1600/sun2%2B(700x700).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5QyHIuyEh-o/VAekC5LLcoI/AAAAAAAAHZY/8nUpRImvspM/s1600/sun2%2B(700x700).jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfold the paper so the four triangles are visible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Draw arrows pointing to the right side of the triangles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Wc8pvA59D4/VAekFNBjduI/AAAAAAAAHZo/1W5fiFq5ELs/s1600/sun4%2B(800x800).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Wc8pvA59D4/VAekFNBjduI/AAAAAAAAHZo/1W5fiFq5ELs/s1600/sun4%2B(800x800).jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut out the triangles on the fold lines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trace them onto scrap pieces of patterned paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need two of each triangle to make a half page sunburst.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When cutting out the right side of each of the triangles leave an extra 1/4 inch of paper. This flap will go under the piece next to it when you adhere them to your background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tip #1</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A bit of trim or stitching will cover any awkward adges left by imperfect cutting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tip #2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is VERY difficult to get the points to match. Placing a die-cut, journaling card, or photo over the center of the sunburst takes care of this potential problem.</div>

Each week we get a new step in the challenge and everyone seems to be having lots of fun.<br />
<br />
In the first week, Charity challenged us to add texture to a piece of patterned paper using a stencil and any other technique.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.memorableseasons.com/gallery/data/513/medium/progressive1_650x645_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.memorableseasons.com/gallery/data/513/medium/progressive1_650x645_.jpg" height="317" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, Ange challenged us to mat at least one photo and fussy cut something from patterned paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z198/scrappyAnge/progressive1_zps298be94c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z198/scrappyAnge/progressive1_zps298be94c.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, Britt started us on embellishments, she challenges us to choose embellishments in sets of 3, plus alter an embellishment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/14671730974_fd7b2f4198.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/14671730974_fd7b2f4198.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<br />
For the final step, I challenged everyone to add a sticker or label, adhere everything down, and add some dots.<br />

Hello there! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm <a href="http://scrappingcompulsion.blogspot.com/">Ange</a>, one of the current design team members here at Memorable Seasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've
got a title challenge for you today. My challenge is to use something,
anything, to bring attention to your title. Really make it stand out, so
that even if you have other words or sayings on the page, everyone
knows that is your title.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my example:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rKik22dydxA/U8Pef3Yej1I/AAAAAAAAC2Y/rexw27usgqs/s1600/MS+Love.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rKik22dydxA/U8Pef3Yej1I/AAAAAAAAC2Y/rexw27usgqs/s1600/MS+Love.jpg" height="400" width="397" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These
alphas for my title are covered in gold glitter and I've used arrows to
really bring the eye to my title. Here's a closeup up for you:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
