Welcome to today's Guest Designer, Suzanne!

Today we are welcoming Suzanne C of 'Suzz's Stamping Spot' as our Guest Desginer. Suzanne was chosen by the DT as the winner of the 'Touch of Gold' challenge. So, without further ado let's move on to hear from Suzanne.


Hi! I am thrilled to be guest designing with the talented Frilly and Funkie Design team. I love playing with my inks, stamps and crafty tools. Every day I try to spend a little time creating mostly in the early morning before anyone is up and about. I am constantly inspired by new stamps, products, other artists or challenges.

Fall is my favorite time of the year because of the glorious leaves and colors. I was so happy to have a chance to pull out my leafy dies and create a fun Halloween inspired project.


I had been thinking about creating a mini tree with a few leaves left dangling after the winds have chased away all the other leaves. 
 

I wanted my leaves to be specifically cut to highlight individuals. I had fun picking out who would be cut out and what remnants to rub on beneath their pictures. 

I used a branch that has already blown down by our house as my tree base and used a sturdy wooden spool as my base.


Decorating the base of the tree was almost as fun as creating my leaves. I used a few pieces of pattern paper and some cut out sentiments along with a sign stuck in the grown of my tree base to finish the scene.

Wishing you all a spooktacular Halloween.
Suzz

I'm sure you'll all agree that Suzanne's mini tree is amazingly imaginative and will have given you lots of ideas for your own Halloween home decor projects! Thank you so much for joining us as a Guest Designer Suzanne.
