I altered a 12" x 8.25" cork bulletin board that I picked up from my local Dollar Tree store with the gorgeous tree images in a new stamp set called A Walk in the Woods, released yesterday by Mark's Finest Papers.
The trees were created with the Poppin' Pastels technique (stamping in Versamark and then rubbing the images with pastels applied by sponge applicator) and then cut out and attached to the frame and bulletin board with Scor-Tape. I tied the leaf punches with baker's twine to the self-adhesive felt loops flourish. A yellow gingham ribbon from Mark's Finest Papers, tied into a pretty bow using my new Bow-Easy, completed this decorative project!

Emzi, this is a wonderful idea and your board looks so pretty! I love your fall theme! You had better get those Library books read so that they are ready to go back by the 18th. Heehee!

Now Pamzi is always kidding me about how long does it take for me to create one of my cards, but when I looked at all those little tied on leaves I said to myself that you are the queen of patience!!! How delightful and fun this project is. I need to run to the dollar store and get me one of these!!! lol Yours is awesome!!
