Colorful Paper Wreath

Inspired by THE paper wizard, Manufacta, yesterday I made a paper wreath of my own, using some crepe paper that I've bought a few years ago and never used.
I'll also try another one on brown-white-gold tones, to put my wrapping paper leftovers to a good use.

For the round base, I've used some decorative Easter sisal grass. I've made sandwiches from different color papers, and wrinkled them to make the flower shapes.

It was a very fun experience as it is basically a trial and no-error-possible process. It came out pretty quickly too! I've sewn my flowers to the base, as my stapler is momentarily unavailable (it was the victim of another experiment of mine, poor thing...)

Fall Leaves Fall

I've given up sweeping leaves in my garden... Once I'm done, I look around and it seems like I haven't done anything. 

Instead, I embraced the fall leaves and enjoy walking on the leaves colorful carpet.

 As I usually do, I passed my mood to my journals so here they are - little cutout leaves in fall colors that I'll sprinkle on the journals when I put them in the envelopes. 

What they'll serve for, I don't know - maybe the addressee will use them for scrapbooking or just have a little fall happening when they open the package.
