May’s fall 2015 crafty picks

I get overwhelmed with all the AMAZING products that seem to come out constantly! This being my favorite season, it’s even more intense! As all things pumpkin take over I’m getting cozy here in the studio and getting crafty! Here’s the goodies that have me most excited right now – aka my fall crafty picks! Of seemingly 100s of new options it is never easy to narrow it down – but these are all things I’ve purchased recently.

From the pumpkin everything stamp (clearly made for me!) to the awesome stitched leaves you’ve seen me use to the wonderful buttons – Loving all this stuff and what it adds to my collection. I really try to limit actual “themed” items that I bring in because I find I can mix with color mediums and general products like the sequins and buttons above. My top recommendations to you when considering new (seasonal or themed) products:

• Three projects you envision using it on right away
• If you have anything already that is similar
• If it has life outside the season/theme

For example, the new Lawn Fawn stitched leaves can be for any season. Adding in metallic, orange, or rusty type colors are the same! Even the Pebbles round stamps will work for food projects year-round! Some of these products have already shown up here, with more to come!

In case you’re drawn to any of these things as I was here’s the list of links. Note that when available I use affiliate links – no cost to you it just helps me keep things running around here!
