Funky Pumpkins

Oct 31, 2008 | 0 comments

What a week. I have not had time to create much of anything. We had Fall Festival at school on Tuesday afternoon and that just about did me in. I think it may have been the candy and the noise J

I like to knit as much as I like to make cards so this post is a two-fer. The card is one I made for our grandson Benjamin and the pumpkins in the background are some I knitted and felted. These little pumpkins were much easier to make than I thought they would be. I will have to try something else felted soon.

The card was made using a stamp from My Favorite Things. I stamped some swirls on acetate to create the base and then added the image and ribbon. I wish I had some sturdier acetate and will be on the look out for some. I like the look of a clear card for something different.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. We are off to Orlando for a week so I will not be posting for awhile. Thanks for stopping by.

 

What in the world happens

To the hours in the weekend? Saturday and Sunday do not have the same number of hours as the weekdays. I know that for a fact! I try to cram too much into the weekend and then I am always upset when I don’t get everything accomplished that I had planned. It was a horrible rainy day on Friday but Saturday and Sunday were beautiful. We went to a church yard sale and barbeque and had a wonderful lunch. Sunday was Trunk or Treat at church and that was a lot of fun even though we didn’t win the decoration prize 🙁  I did get a few cards made, but they were done in bits and pieces.

 

This Horn of Plenty card is simple but I really liked the way it turned out. I highlighted some of the vegetables with gel pens but it is hard to see that in the photo. I also cut out an extra squash and popped it with a dimensional. The paper is Heidi Grace and the ribbon I found at a junk shop. Thanks for stopping by today. I am off to take a walk in the cool fall weather.
