Ok-Back to the grindstone of fun 3-D items. I have an off week this week and I am trying to be creative. I said many months ago-perhaps a year plus ago that I would use my White Shadow Box from a Big Box Store. Well-It's time.

I am using the Jingle all the Way Real Red Definitely Decorative Vinyl (#114707 $3.50-small). I also used 2009 Background DSP Christmas Cocoa Specialty (Sorry-No longer available). This years color combo has Cherry Cobbler and last year had Real Red.

If I flip the back panel around-Here is my second version. Better looking in person-hard to photograph.

JUST A QUICK NOTE- If you have been trying to Contact me on my Blog-I never got your email. I found out yesterday from Amy-my Blog set up Gal-that the CONTACT ME was not working oh probably since July-SO Not Good. I was not ignoring any of you-I Never got your email. I would love for you to try again. It's Fixed now!! Someone just contacted me and I am very Happy.

ENJOY!

Hi there crafty people. I thought you might like to see another Home Decor idea in another tutorial form with pics. It's never to early for Fall things I always say. Stay tuned-I am a Fall Fanatic-Certified I think!!!! I made this for a workshop this past Sat. in Harvard, IL. There seemed to be little interest in stamping but they really liked the Definitely Decorative line for their homes. I like to demonstrate this as often as I can because I don't want to lose interest from those that Just came to the party to "support their friend". This "extra" product from Stampin' Up!® is wonderful. You can put it on just about anything. Download the Definitely Decorative catalog from my blog today and have fun decorating.

I bought this Shadow Box at a Big Box Craft Store. I am using the Small Season of Thanks (114883) in Chocolate. Size-7-5/8" X 12".

It comes in Black too and medium size for both.

Gently peel apart the two pages. This is nice and slow!!!

Line up as best as you can. I eyeballed it! Some of you might like to mark it with a chalk line or grease pen. LOL!

I forgot my applicator to apply so I borrowed a credit card from a guest. It works in a pinch but it did take an extra 5 Min. Use the Decor Elements Applicator-it works great!

Pull liner Very slowly just in case some of it still sticks to the paper and not the item you are putting it on. Sometimes you have to roll it back over and scrape a bit more and gently pull back. Keep the liner tightly to the surface.

I cleaned the glass from the inside. I then used the Black Velcro to attach the single leaves. I just added the extra leaves on the bottom to freely float around. Ta Da! Now you have Fall decor that lasts through Thanksgiving. Just change out the leaves and put in another decor item. I hope this gets your creative mind thinking!

I think this turned out Great. I originally saw the idea on the Stampin' Up!® Website. The ideas were shared by one of my favorite people-Pam Morgan at Leadership. The idea was passed on and I took it and ran with it. The only think I did different was the Small Faith instead of the Medium size they used. I gave this to my Niece (also my Godchild) who just Graduated Concordia College, Mequon, WI. last Weekend. She even has a Job-YEAH!!!. It is in Lincoln, Nebraska-far away from Palatine, IL. It's Ok-Nebraska was listed as the Happiest state in America. Anyway, she got a job as a Lutheran school teacher. I am so proud of her. I decided to give this and quickly whipped it up 20 min before having to leave. Yup-Last minute chick here. In college-Same way. My best always came days before the project was due rather in the beginning when the project was assigned. If you are an art major or finishing up or just starting out-Ignore all that! :0) Enjoy this photo.

I will mention I used the S.U. decor elements-Inspiration for $4.95 in Chocolate. I bought the shadow box from Ikea. I used my Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies $21.95 and Textured Black C.S. Urban Oasis for the Background D.S.P.  I now have the leftover Love, Life and Hope. I still have a White Shadow Box and will have to come up with something. Stay tuned!
