1. Have been playing with my Cricut and the CTMH Digital Collection, Pumpkin Spice (you can buy when you go to my CTMH Link on my blog right sidebar and it is an immediate download), while waiting for my order to arrive on Sun 9/12. I cut all the pieces on my Cricut except for the 

base (8.5" x 5.5") & mats (5.5" x 4.25" and 5.5" x 2.25"). Figured easier to cut the base & mats using paper trimmer.

Used Tim Holtz Distress Stickles for sparkle/shine on the leaves. Stamped the sentiment on inside.
