Sitting in the Pumpkin Patch

Hello Everyone

And a big welcome to October, except where is the cooler weather??? Its been HOT here in my area for the whole month of September and we are in need of rain desperately. I am hoping that October shows its fall head with cooler temps and some rain.

OK off the weather and on to some fun and crafty things.

Today is the start of the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge for October

The sponsor is 

Cute As A Button

Please visit Cute As A Button and 

check out the great selection of items available.

The winner will receive 

2 digital images

Since fall is here I decided on a cute image that has a pumpkin theme. 

When I think of the beginning of fall, I always think of pumpkins

Here is the card I came up with using  the

Pumpkin Patch digital image

I used a step card to showcase this adorable image

I added a stamped pumpkin image behind the digital image  

and added some punched leaves on the side panels of the card.

A fluffy bow at the bottom finishes this card off.

Here is a closer view of that cute digital image

Welcome back!!!

Yesterday on my Craft-Dee BowZ post, I spotlighted a card in the Halloween theme and today I want to show you a cute little Trick or Treat bag I made for my post this month for Craft-Dee BowZ. The theme for October for the DT  posts is Anything But a Card.

I used a black gift bag that I picked up from Michael's and decorated it. I have a die that cuts out 3 different skylines and I decided that would be a fun bag front. Recently I received a spider web and added that to the scene. A vellum full moon adds to the early evening scene. I couldn't resist adding that spider by the web.

This is a darling bag and is perfect for the kids trick or treat bag. When I was a kid going out to beg for candy, we never decorated our bags. We used a shopping bag and we started at 6:00 p.m. and went door to door til 9:00 p.m. or so.That was way before all of the troubles and the restrictions that are now in place. We didn't have to worry about treats that people would give us. It was all good!!  Those were the days!!!

I digress..............OK here is my creation keeping with the theme this month at Craft-Dee BowZ

 The night skyline

 Spider and his web

I just made a simple single loop bow using my Craft-Dee BowZ tool.

Craft Dee BowZ Challenge for October

Hi Everyone,
If you are looking for the Sparkle N Sprinkle Challenge and Reveal post click here.

I'm so glad you stopped by today.Welcome to my post for my project for the October Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge.

Since its October  are you decorating for Halloween? What a fun time for the kids, getting dressed up, carving pumpkins, eating candy!!! Oh yes, there are the Halloween costume parties for the grown-ups as well.

Since we are getting ready for Halloween, here is a cute card ready to be sent. Hey!!, wouldn't this make a cute Halloween party invitation!!!

This pumpkin is so cute and it's a favorite of mine. I decided to dress the card up with purple Prima flowers. Those sparkly leaves are made from vellum, colored with markers  and then I added glitter to the vein areas and  and I can't forget....there's the purple and black bow. I used 2 different ribbons and love how it turned out. That purple ribbon is really spectacular, it has glitter already on it, plus it's wired (my favorite kind of ribbon) so it really made a fabulous bow.

Here's a closer view of that bow. And I used my Craft-Dee BowZ to make it.

Just a glimpse of the sparkly leaf and some of those Prima Flowers that I layered with orange glitter added to the centers.

The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge for October has begun and it would be great to see your project over on their blog as an entry. And you can submit anything, doesn't need to be a Halloween project. The theme is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.Click here to go over to the Craft-Dee BowZ blog and send us your submission.

I will be back tomorrow with my normal 1st Tuesday of the month post for Craft-Dee BowZ , one day later this month. Hope you stop back 'cause I have something really cute to show you.
