Happy Fall Y'all!!

Hi All - My very first entry in a mojomonday challenge and it was so much fun!

I made this card below using the sketch challenge above for my Clean and Cute Stamp Camp last night and the ladies loved it. We used the small oval punch and the bird punch to make the pumpkin.

I had already had in mind I wanted to do a card with this cute little pumpkin - and when I saw the sketch layout I thought it would be the perfect focal point for the card. Then I wanted to get some texture and dimension to the card - so a run through the Big Shot, some splatters, some frayed burlap ribbon and VOILA!  Even though I wanted a Fall card - we've done a ton of Thanksgiving already - so I went with a more generic saying that could be used for many occasions.

The stem of the pumpkin is made with the bird wing, and the branch from the same punch is just curled around a skewer for the tendril and attached with a glue dot. The pumpkin itself is sponged around with Cajun Craze and that little bit of color really gives the pumpkin a lot of depth.

Like I said - this was a fun card to create and I hope you like it.  Please leave a note and let me know what you think, and stop back soon.  Stampingly, Maureen

Thanksgiving table

So we had an awesome Thanksgiving with wonderful family and friends, a beautiful table, yummy food and more.  Of course - I forgot to take any pictures till after we were done eating.  I don't know how that happened.  But I did take a couple pics after - here are the paper pumpkins I had scattered on table.

Here is a top view of the pumpkins

And a side view

 I also got a picture of a couple of the placecards/treats that I put out.  Most were eaten by the time I took this picture, but a couple were left.

These served a double function in that they were a little treat for our guests, and also marked the place where each person would sit.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are in the swing of the 'getting ready for' Christmas season :)
