Falling Leaves Art

I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I just love, love, love linky parties!

There's so many great projects and ideas! That's where I end up finding a most of the inspiration for a lot of my projects.

For example: a couple weeks ago I found this art project at one of the linky parties I link up to -

Cute. Simple. Perfect for fall.

So I bought myself one of these . . .


. . . and got to work.

I didn't have any burlap (which was used in the original piece), but I did have lots of scrapbook paper scraps. So I just used what I had. Add that to a $1 Dollar Tree frame, and here's what I got.


When I pointed this out to my mom the last time she was over, FH overheard and actually said "You made that? I thought you bought it." :o)

It looks perfect with my "Give Thanks" artwork.


Who knew decorating for fall could be so easy and inexpensive?




Speaking of linky parties, I link up to these:
