Pumpkins from the past ~ Fall fun!!!

Hi!!
Turkey day is almost here.  I love Smoked Turkey and
Pumpkin Pie! and Sweet Potatoes and homemade
Chicken and Noodles. So Grateful!! I could go on and on as I'm 
sure you could too.  Anyway I thought I would share some
past projects using these key words I have highlighted.
Hope you enjoy ~


I used these as toppers for the Pumpkin Pie one year
at Thanksgiving.  The kids ended up taking them a turkey home:)
Using Sizzix die by Tim Holtz.


My youngest son made this Turkey in kindergarten and I still
have it.  Made with pipe cleaners and a spool, feathers, hand 
drawn turkey head.


A spooky clip board. Using products by Clear Scraps.  A fun one!!


Love this Fall card using stamps by Darkroom Door
and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.


Using Pouring Medium by DecoArt to cover some old
Pumpkins (Dollar Store) that had seen a better day.  Love the
mixed media look!!


This is a wood pallet by Clear Scrap.  Still put this on my door.
acrylic paint.


One of my favorite mini albums by Clear Scraps. 


These were fun! Stamps by Joy Clair.


This is a die by Stampendous! and adhesive by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  Another fun one!!
Thanks for staying with me to the end.  I could
go on and on but I will spare you all the cuteness :):)
 
See ya soon!
