Pumpkin Monday!

Good Morning!  I know I didn't post my Stamps Only Sunday post - let me tell you what happened.  Friday I started working on my Sunday post's card and while I was coloring I had a bright idea to use a particular ribbon, so I dove into my ribbon bin and couldn't find it, so then I started throwing bags of ribbon out of the bin, which made me frustrated so I embarked on to a project of organizing my ribbon.  I got it all sorted out into individual baggies and then into a larger bag grouped by colors.  I did this all day Friday, well into the evening and finally finished my project at about 1:00 pm on Saturday.  My this time my back hurt so bad, sitting down working on a card wasn't on my priority list.  But I am so thrilled to have my ribbon organized and you'll never guess... I never found the ribbon that I was thinking that I had!

Yesterday I spent the day with my kids, so I didn't get my card posted.  But I did play for a little bit yesterday and now I have two cards to share with you.

I used the sketch from Crafts 4 Eternity.  The other part of the challenge is to use autumnal colors.  I also decided to play along with Delightful Challenges - they want to see pumpkins.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Milled Ivory (Neenah), Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip (SU)
Paper:  scraps from Michaels open stock paper and American Crafts
Stamps/Ink:  Pumpkin Emma (CC Designs), Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Copics:  C8, E00, E02, E34, E37, E53, E57, G99, R27, R29, Y11, YG95, YR16, YR68
Tools:  1 1/4", 1", 7/8" circle punches

This next card I made for my monthly card traders group.  The challenge was to create a Suspension Card.  This was a lot of fun to do and really pretty easy.  I am also entering this card into Delightful Challenges.

I followed a tutorial by Dawn Griffith to create the suspension of the pumpkin.  I found this wonderful pumpkin poem on the internet and then using the drawing tools in my word program I drew the frames around the poem.

I hope you can see how the image is suspended inside that circle scallop frame.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Very Vanilla, More Mustard (SU), Deep Red (Bazzil Basics)
Paper:  Acorn (Recollections)

Both of these cards were really fun to make and both fit in with my One Postage Stamp, Please collection.  I hope you enjoy my cards and thank you so much for stopping by.
