Hello, Pumpkin!
I’ve been digging through my autumn decorations lately and found a jack-o-lantern to set out on the front porch. I purchased a real pumpkin in town and plan to carve that with the boys in the next week or so for Halloween. Then, I happened upon some cute sparkly pumpkins for the fireplace mantel. Pumpkins are just a part of autumn!
This week at CASology pumpkin is the cue word and it’s perfect for this particular month! Creative ideas seemed to elude me this time, however. The pumpkin stamp images that I own were not inspiring me at all, so I ended up focusing on the color orange and using a sentiment that I’ve always found rather cute.
I nabbed my sons’ sponge daubers and created a polka dotted card. I simply stamped the sentiment over one of the dots and then added three star sequins. As I added the stars I realized I was thinking about Cinderella and her pumpkin carriage! Too bad I don’t have any Disney themed princess stamps! With DD in the house I suppose it will only be a matter of time.
What does the word PUMPKIN make you think of? We’d love to find out! Be sure and visit the rest of the design team members’ blogs for more inspiration this week! Then, don’t forget to link up your own creation on the challenge blog by Sunday at 4:00 p.m. (CST)!
Busy days around here and, thus, the lack of posting. We’ve got a landscaping project going and overnight guests arrived last night! We’re hoppin’ around here and I keep looking for those lazy autumn days people talk about! Not happening!
