Harvesting Pumpkins

Well... maybe not quite... We do have a few gourds on an rouge vine growing under the deck but no pumpkins! But this new set from Our Daily Bread Designs really puts me in the mood to hit the pumpkin patch. Days are a little cooler here as well and I find myself thinking about planting mums in the pots by my front door. But the practical side of me says wait. So I will! But boy I sure do love this time of year! So here is my ode to the most colorful time of year and don't forget to check back Saturday morning to get details on ODBD's Shining the Light Challenge.

And here it is...

Feathers, Thanksgiving and SSIC105

Happy Labor Day! Hope you are enjoying a day of rest and relaxation with your family!

You must be wondering how in the world the three items in my title can be related? Over the last few weeks, I have been experimenting with using unconventional items on my cards. Yesterday I used a rose embellie on my card made from a zipper. And today I used feathers in the corners to draw attention to my central design. I recently received this stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs called Give Thanks. Even though Thanksgiving is still a few months away, we have had a few mornings with a "chill" in the air. So that brings me to number three, Stampin' Sisters In Christ. They have asked those playing along in this weeks challenge to use muted colors, nothing bright! And what says muted more than orange, mustard yellow and a fall plaid? And don't forget the feathers! Make it a great one... Blessings...

Zip It Up!

Recently I spotted a rose on a scrapbook layout. After taking a closer look I realized it was a zipper! So the wheels started turning... **And yes, that creaking noise comes from my brain**... I purchased a zipper at a discount store and separated it into two parts. I did not realize until after the fact you can purchase zipper binding at craft stores. Since the nearest one is over an hour away, this little baby had to do! I then used a circle punch to cut out a card stock base. I then wrapped the zipper to form a rose using a hot glue gun. I tried Scor-tape originally but the zipper was not pliable enough and did not hold. Hot glue works MUCH better! Now I'm thinking about all sorts of places I can zip it up! Blessings...
