Feeling like Fall

Now highs in the low 90's might not seem like fall to everyone, but here in Houston it feels wonderful and we have had cool nights for a couple of days too! Still no rain but it feels wonderful outside and I am in the mood for fall! I hope all of my Texan friends are safe and not in the path of any of the fires.

So I have this new Echo Park Apothecary Emporium collection and its such fun stuff that this page just fell into place! I love to take photos of my kitties at Halloween, but Fig looks especially great with his orange eyes. Actually his eyes go from a deep gold to deep orange, depending on the photo. I have to point out something that I did on this page, because I wasn't sure it would work and it worked perfectly. See that cute circle kitty motif? The accordion folded piece under it isn't paper, it's actually a lace border sticker from this pack. I sprinkled baby powder on the sticker side, then cut along the edge of the lace for a bumpy edge, and then scored &folded to create the circle. It did get a bit sticky again when I was scoring, but it still worked nicely. Fun thing to try, huh? I took a couple of extra close ups so you can see the lacey border and also because the little stickers and things are so cute. Anyway, check out the Apothecary Emporium collection HERE because it's pretty cool stuff.
