We are fortunate to have some fantastic Acorn Hollow projects from returning Cycling Team Member Katrina Hunt. She's going to tell you all about it...
It’s Katrina here and I am so happy to be back on the Cycling Team for Acorn Hollow! I have a few projects, so we had better get to them.
I fell in love with this tree paper, but sometimes I find these types of scenes hard to use. My suggestion is to keep it simple. I just used a few papers from the 6x6 mini pad that is in the collection and some of the embellishments. Added a little twine and some foam dimensional adhesive to give some texture and called the layout done.

AH-304 6" x 6" Paper Pad

Then, the banner making girl that I am, I had to make a banner! I love that square canvas/chipboard mini album for these. I used strictly the 6x6 mini pad for my papers. And then I used an assortment of the clear cut shapes, chipboard shapes and the paper crafting kit to embellish and decorate.

I made a quick autumn card using the 6x6 mini pad and some of the embellishments. Are you seeing a theme yet?! And I can’t get enough of those stick pins. I usually try to stick them into some foam dimensional adhesive to cover those pointy ends. Bonus, it keeps them in place!

And then I created one more layout. I used four pieces from the 6x6 mini pad to give my background a quilted look and then just started layering on the sides and bottom. I wanted to be able to see those four squares. I also sanded my pictures edges to make them pop just a little bit more.
