Well hello there! We meet again, my friends. For today's post, I'm going back to making something with a seasonal flavour. The theme over at Tuesday Throwdown is "Pumpkin Patch". That's just great because to play along you don't have to make a Halloween, Thanksgiving or Autumn card, if you don't want to. As long as your project has a pumpkin or two, you're good to go.I made a pumpkinny birthday card with rich autumnal tones using some lovely embellishments so generously provided by our sponsors for this week - Freckled Fawn. Check out their online store for your embellies and doodats. You'll be spoilt for choice!
Anyways, on to my card:
 |
| The patterned papers are from Basic Grey's "Pyrus". I attached a gorgeous orange rhinestone by Freckled Fawn at the bottom lefthand corner. |
 |
| Now this adorable Pixie Cottage image by their illustrator ArTish is called 3 Fall Mice. Aren't they cute?! I coloured them with Graph'It Markers. |
 |
| On the inside is my computer generated message and a paper clip by Freckled Fawn. |
Join me in a little pumpkin playtime:
Without Words October Challenge "Pumpkins!"
The Paper Girls Challenge #41 "Sew It On"
Freshly Brewed October Challenge "Pumpkins"
Loves Rubber Stamp "Pumpkins"
Bearly Mine Challenges #108 "AG"
Make It Monday #162 "AG"
Pile It On #41 "Humour"
Glitter n Sparkle #54 "Add Some Orange"
Pumpkin Spice Challenge #41 "Pumpkins!"
Now it's your turn to show us your pumpkin project. Remember, the theme is all about pumpkins. So make sure there's a pumpkin somewhere on your creation. And then link it up to the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Blog. Don't forget to visit the rest of DT for ideas and inspiration.
Before you leave I just want to say that this is my 500th - yes - FIVE HUNDREDTH post! I am especially tickled because this is probably my longest lasting hobby. LOL! Over the years I've dabbled in all kinds of everything but I don't think I've produced 50, let alone 500 of anything. Personally, I am in shock! How did this happen?!
Thank YOU, my friends, for all your lovely comments and words of encouragements... even when I am slow to respond! (eeek! my bad!). I have met so many lovely people and made beautiful friendships and have so much to be grateful for.
I truly appreciate your visit today and let's see where this road takes us! (To the nearest pub to celebrate... no doubt! LOL)
