Week 3 in the Julie Nutting for Prima Paper Doll Blog Hop...FALL!

Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were
a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the 
successive autumns.  ~George Eliot

I love the Fall.....the cooler temperatures,
the colors of the leaves before they drift from their branches,
the smells of apples and pumpkin pie,
the return of football games...and of course, hockey.

This week, our focus is on
Fall/Autumn

Before I reveal my project, I want to remind everyone about
the Blog Hop guidelines...
Each Tuesday in August, the participants of the
Paper Doll Blog Hop are posting a project by season.
Our last post will be next Tuesday, August 27.
On August 30th, each of us will choose a winner of our 
Blog Candy. To win, you must 
Leave a comment on each of the Tuesday
 blog posts in August.
(Don't forget to include your email address...so important!)
If you are a follower or become a follower of my blog you
have an additional chance.
If you post about the Paper Doll Blog Hop
 on your blog, you have a third chance.

OK, no long tutorial this week. I thought I would share, in pictures, 
the evolution of a project.

You start with the elements you want to use...

A decision is made on the size of your project, based on the number and size of the items
 you're including,  This week's project board is 5.5" x 8".
I started with a Cheerios box cutout and covered it in background paper...



then, you decide on a layout...this can change as you start working it...
I knew I wanted rolling hills, a pumpkin, sunflower, Bingo card,
wagon, and of course the dog, whom I've named Scamp!
This was my first layout...



This is what it became...


Did you notice that in the first layout, I used a marker to color her 
turtleneck and sleeves? Hated the look! Stamped the neck, sleeves and pockets 
in the brown polka dot paper.
Thanks to the brilliance of Mary Puskar, I brazenly cut her feet apart
to enable me to cut away the paper between her legs without
needing to use a craft blade.Thanks, Mary!
the details...

I stamped the doll on printed paper this time...I really like her with red hair.


Hard to believe that Fall is a month away!


The wagon was cut using the Cricut Cartridge, 
"Just Because" cards.
Several people have asked me about The stamp I used for Scamp.
He is a wood-mount Hero Arts stamp. I've had
this stamp for years and I looked on-line to try to find a link but 
I'm sorry, I couldn't find it anywhere.


The pumpkins is a Quickutz die and the the leaves were punched.

Several years ago I was on a Design Team for Say It With Letters, a 
company that makes wood cut letters and shapes.
 You can find their Etsy shop here. Their products are of  high quality and
lots of fun to work with.
I did a Fall project for them, posted here, using my favorite
 WeR Memory Keepers Autumn Splendor papers.
I used some of those same papers on my project today.


Do you sense a theme going on with my projects?
Yes, the dog is part of it...can you guess the rest?

Here is the blog candy you could win!


It's time for you to hop to the other artist's blogs now...







OK- that's all for now! Remember that next week is the final week...
Winter!
Grab your mittens and scarf!
xoxo
Joyce

NOTE: Someone asked in the comment section about the sunflower. It was made using a 2 x 2 Quickutz die.
If you leave a message and don't give your name or an email address, it's impossible to answer your question or reply to your comment....it's also not possible for you to have a chance at winning the Blog Candy. Please help me out by leaving contact information. Thanks a bunch!

Love all the details and the recurring use of Scamp. He's so cute with the leaf on his head. Love how you did the landscape. I follow all the blogs, have posted the hop to mine: http://paulettesapaper-artzy.blogspot.com/2013/08/prima-doll-blog-post.html and mentioned it to my Prima Doll swapmates on Splitcoaststampers.

Hi Joyce,
I love all of the detail you put into your piece....it's amazing!!
I did not make the typewriter key bracelet that was pictured in my last post. My husband bought that for me years ago knowing how much I loved old typewriters. I have lost a couple of the keys over the years and have replaced them with some old ones that I had.
Have a great day.
Jane
