Crafties with the neighboor!

The neighbor that lives behind me (Julie) and i got together and we painted the stepping stone. One side is for autumn and the other is winter. We cut out stencils with the cricut and used paint and a stencil (stipple) brush to apply the paint then she coated them with polyurethane (it is also recommended to put polyurethane on the brick before you paint that way the cement wont absorb as much paint
Julies daughter gets free wood from her husbands work and we have turned them into cute pumpkins. we cut a stick or branch for the stems then tied green fabric and curly wire for the stems.
Julie and i went to a SU card class and these are the cards that we made. too cute if you ask me
I have made this card before but who can resist making it again.
