Those Pumpkins Again + Free Thanksgiving Image



Hi, there!  I can't wait for everyone to get here for Thanksgiving.  I just love the tradition and everyone gathered together.  We're a relatively small group - we're going to have 12 this year.  Soon it will be time to start brining the turkey.  



I tell you it makes a huge difference to the moistness of the turkey.  I'm amazed at how  juicy it is.  Actually, I was never a big fan of turkey until we started brining it.  Now I really look forward to it.  

You can see I'm having fun with these paper strip pumpkins again.  I'm using the ones from the previous post as our Thanksgiving table placecards.   What do you think about these in blue gingham?  Aren't they fun?



I have these sweet pilgrim children for you to download.  It's the entire postcard.  I just used a scallop die to cut out the kids.  



You can download the pilgrim children HERE.

Mark your calendar!


It won't be long until Visions of Sugarplums.  You're going to love all the Christmas inspiration and giveaways!  Get ready for the Challenge - it will begin December 6th.  The theme will be Christmas/Winter.  Looking forward to seeing your creations!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Paper Sweeties Challenge Time


It's Paper Sweeties Challenge Time!  We've got a color challenge this month.  From the picture above, you probably have no trouble figuring out the color palette.  But just in case, here are the colors:


Isn't she the cutest thing?  What a darling costume!  Perfect fall selection...


I created a 3D pumpkin out of book pages and added color with distress ink.  The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties Happy Fall Ya'll stamp set.  The papers are from Shabby Miss Jenn's Forever Fall.   Visit the Paper Sweeties blog for all the details about October's Challenge.   Would love for you to join us!

Office Decor



Hi! Hope you're having a great weekend! I wanted to take my black cat to work, but couldn't figure out how to display it. I really don't have anywhere to hang it. So...I bought a frame and put in chicken wire and placed black polka dot paper in the back. The cat is tied to the chicken wire. I think it looks great (if I do say so myself)!
The cat is a diecut from Majestical Memories. I love it's tail. I covered the cat completely with black glitter. Love the black glitter! The moon is a digital paper available from Shabby Miss Jenn. The image with the black and white cats is a vintage image from The Vintage Workshop.

This pumpkin is made from a paperback book.
I created a pattern and then cut each page. I used Ranger ink to highlight the pages orange. Glued the spine together and added a stem.
The first one I made was easy (I must have been lucky). I made several more and had problems with every one of them! I couldn't believe it. I thought it was so easy!
