Use It! challenge no.27

Our FINAL Use It! challenge....

...
All good things must come to an end...
...
Participation has dwindled greatly
so it looks like its time to close the doors.
...
Please join us in this last challenge
brought to us by the fabulous
Katie Tate
...

The challenge is:
...
1. Create something Fall related.
This can be a card, scrapbook page,
a piece of home decor, a recipe box,
anything you like!
Use Fall colors and embellishments too!
...
2. Add some embossing, wet or dry
and try it on something new if you can.
...
3. I want to see handmade flowers
not ones out of a jar!
They can be handcut, punched, stamped,
die cut, even crocheted,
as long as you made them yourself!
...
4. Try a little paper piecing.
This can be as simple as cutting out your title
or as elaborate as cutting a whole scene
free hand.
You can use a pattern, a stamp, or
make it up as you go,
just as long as you get out the scissors!
...
...
Here are Katie's samples:

Fabulous work Katie!
