Fall Lovin October Silhouette Challenge

     This month the theme for the October Silhouette Challenge is Fall! I chose
 5 different shades of +Bazzill Basics Paper card stock: on sale for 59 cents at  +Michaels Stores
 One group of leaf shapes from the +Silhouette America Store:  99 cents.
 One wreath Stand from +Decor Steals:  (previous purchase)
 The leaves I wanted to cut out from my Silhouette library

I selected the cut settings according to the directions. I did decide to set double cut and instead of setting the blade to 4, I set it  to 5 since I used high quality cardstock. I left the remaining settings as they were programed.

I wanted crisp clean edges. As you can see these changes gave me my desired effect. The Low Tack cutting mat helped with the speed of the project as well as keeping the paper from curling.

The remaining paper can be used for stencils, Table mats, or cut into shapes and added to other paper projects. A sample project would be a greeting card, scrapbooking, spraying fabric or tracing shapes to make a design. I love when nothing goes to waste! :) The +Mod Podge Pumpkins will be featured on the Live Creatively Inspired blog post this Wednesday.

                 The Shabby Table lends itself well to the texture of the leaf.

                                   Cricket Lovin' the Fall October Decor!
I am filled with anticipation this month as this marks my One Year Blogiversary! This year has been amazing, toppling my goals one by one, making friends, learning, growing and teaching a few tips too. The Silhouette Challenge group was the first group, that I joined as a blogger. In a few short moments of chatting, with this machine driven group, I knew I was in the right place. I felt welcomed and at ease to ask any question about the group, or my +Silhouette America Cameo. They have definitely brought me to my "A" game. The group is there for moral support, answers to how the machine operates, and my favorite font questions. Thank you to each one of you for helping me become better at building my dream.
   Until next time,
