    Thanks for the tip on making veins in the leaves with the foam brush. It really made them come to life. I have those clothespins…now if I can only find them.

    I love this idea!!! Would love to see how you post the Bible Verses on the leaves. I’m always trying to think of ways to post verses at home for our family!!

    Awesome!

    Don’t have a gypsy but love this idea, your leaves are to die for. Great decoration.

    I love the idea of the little clips. I was going to make ornaments for Christmas & I think they will be great attached to the back.

    Great video. Love how the leaves came to life.

    Megan, Thanks for sharing all your ideas with us. I think the thing I really am enjoying is you use less expensive materials and then tell us where to get them. I cannot wait to see your window of verses when its done.

    What a neat idea. I like how leaves decorated your window. BTW beautiful green grass.

  • Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 2:17am

    What a great idea! I am going out and get some clothes pins.

  • Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 1:18pm

    I ink practically every single thing I put on my scrapbook pages to give dimention. However, I use the cat eye type. I think for the wonderful price of $1 I am going to buy a few of these types of inks and give it a try. Thank you.

    Love what you did with the fall leaves. I think this would also be great using Christmas theme designs, hanging from garland. I think I might give that a try. Thanks for the video!
