Leopard Print, Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice for Autumn and Halloween Plus a New Chicken Design Freebie

Welcome to The Cherry On Top,

So here we are. The the end of October and I'm sitting in capris and a short sleeve shirt, in Belgium. I was chatting with a girlfriend of mine in Texas and she said it was in the 90's. Nothing to see here, folks. Just totally normal weather. I do love the warmer air, but to what expense? Anyway ...

I hope you're able to enjoy this time of year no matter what hemisphere you're on. Change is always nice and refreshing, for the most part.

Don'cha love cranking up the wood stove? Simmering ghluewein and lighting a few candles? Mushing up some apples and cinnamon in your oatmeal? Mmmm...warm and cozy. We don't even need our stove yet! I still have tomatoes in the green house, for goodness sake. Hehehe...

I digress! I thought I'd show off some fall designs that might inspire you. There are even a few paper projects that might float your boat. Many of my projects are easy enough for kids. If you're a home school parent or a teacher, you can consider adding them to your curriculum.

These leopard and gold, kind'a sassy designs are a touch sophisticated. They'd make great stickers, keychains, door signs, garden flags, mug design, door mats ...

well howdy pumpkin

Last week, I showed off the Meow-A-Ween Collection. It is so darn cute! Here are some stickers and one of the designs from the collection. If you like kitties, you'll love Meow-A-Ween. It is an enormous collection. Just type in Meow-A-Ween in the search at Plus or in my shop to see it all.

I was asked to design a kit for Design Bundles with a Halloween theme. Here ya go!

I obviously love designing for Halloween. I wish I had more time! I had even more ideas!

Here are just a few more popular autumn gnome designs you can find in my shop.

You can find the designer of these lovely designs in Design Bundles, too.

The design below is one of my most popular ones. It took me nearly all day to compose it!


This card took me even longer than the design above. Ha! Ha! Ha! I saw one of those funny cards with all of the mascots for holidays on it years ago and thought it was so darn cute. So, I tried to make a design of my own that was similar. You can download it for FREE.

I'm thrilled how much y'all love the chicken collection I've been working on. Thanks for all of the nice comments. I've finally wrapped it up. Here's the latest freebie and there are at least 2 more mini's and I might do another word art or two. I wanted to do something with eggs...Like Eggcellent and Emergency Egg-it. Hehehe...

welcome to the coop

Here's freebie #8. I've got only 2 more to go. Stay tuned!

I'll put a commercial use friendly version in the shop soon. They'll be a few more pieces in there that are not available for free. I'll let ya know when it's ready.

Don't think I forgot about the Walking Stick collection. The Catalonia Collection (same thing) is also finished or nearly finished. I did finish the first draft for the book. I think it's too short. I kept writing and writing, but wasn't thrilled with the direction. There's a whole lot of potential. I need to sit through it and rethink the direction it is going. I had an idea where I wanted to end it and I got there. I love it as it is. Just not sure about the length. I can't wait to share some excerpts with you and show you the scrapbooking format the book will take.

Thanks again for hanging with The Cherry and for contacting me personally with your lovely compliments. It means so much and it totally makes my day.

I may have to skip a week, here and there. I'm so super busy for the next two months. Someone contacted me about card making. I have a bunch of cards and templates that I designed for Plus. I'll change them up and try to get them on the next few blogs so you can design your holiday cards.

Join us in the group. Consider signing up for the newsletter or scroll back through nearly 1,000 blogs full of scrap-a-liciousness, crafts, cooking and more.

Happy crafting!
