A little Joy

Today I am sharing a card I made for the iSpy Sketches ISSC43

I really enjoy the sketches they feature, but I haven't played at iSpy Sketches for quite sometime.

So I say..."It's about time I do!"

 

Here's the sketch and you can scroll down to see my take on the sketch.

 

Here's my card...

I really hope you will be inspired by my card to create something wonderful this week.

 

 

I found these metal Alphabet badges at a boutique shop in Ballard, WA.

while shopping on Black Friday with my friend Jen.

Had to buy some, then I saw the sketch and knew they would be perfect for my card.

 

My papers are from my stash of old Close to My Heart papers

Gobble, Gobble

So excited to be posting today, my first post after coming back from a much needed break. 

I am still dealing with a lot of things that are causing some stress, but confident this too shall pass.

Thanks for your prayers everyone.

 

I missed creating and sharing my creations with all of you.  I miss my Design Teams too,

but know that the decision I made, although hard at the time, was the right decision for me.

 

For my sharing today, three little pumpkins I can use as a centerpiece for a table.

I think I am actually going to use them at my desk in the office at school.

Many staff stop at my desk daily looking for treats and this will be perfect, seasonal and fun!

 

I hope you enjoy my project as much as I enjoyed making and sharing it with you.

I also posted a tutorial on how to make these pumpkins. 

See the tutorial by clicking on the 'Tutorials" tab above.

 

 

This is a picture of all three pumpkins grouped together.
