"Fall Colors"

Hello and welcome to Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #24. Fall is just around the corner, this Friday to be exact and we are celebrating with a Fall challenge. This week the designers created a card/project inspired by fall colors, and for a little extra fun we all created a hand made embellishment: Here is what I came up with:
 I created the round shaped card using the Wild Card Cartridge in my gypsy. The scarecrow is from Simply Charmed, and I used PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment to stamp the face. I used my white gel pen to add some doodling. The little basket is from Doodle Charms, I painted the darker areas using Chocolate Creative Inspiration Paints, and added some brads. The pumpkin is from Gypsy Wanderings, the apple is from Create A Critter, and the squash is from Freshly Picked. I used my Perfect Pearls on all the fruit/vegetables to add a little shimmer and shine. I added some raffia and my handmade leaves, and stamped my Sentiment (Happy Fall Y'all) from Simply Everything by Pink By Design. Here is a close up of my Hand Made Embellishments.
I will have a video during my Halloween Week to show you how I made these. Sorry the pick is so blurry.

This week our sponsor is Creative Inspirations. Creative inspirations sells the most beautiful paints for crafting. One random winner will get to chose five of their paints. The colors are gorgeous, and I am slowly getting them all. I love working with them, and the possibilities are endless.

I had technical difficulties from my post on Saturday. For some reason none of my comments would publish. I switched over to the new blogger interface and I think that has something to do with it. So I went back to the old dashboard, and I hope that fixes it. If you missed the post I had announced that I am having a Halloween party on my blog starting on October 3-7.  There will be a fun Halloween project, and a prize each day.
Cindy drew and colored that gorgeous badge for me. So so cute:) Chloe did the word art for me. I love those gals..thank you for your help. If you pick up my Halloween badge and place it on your blog come back here and leave me a comment and you will be entered into a random drawing for a $25.00 gift certificate for Stampin' Up. If you blog about it leave me a second comment for two chances to win. That night is our Whimsical Wednesday blog hop. There will be lots of great projects from each of our designers, lots of fun prizes, and blog candy along the way. The grand prize is super fun..so stay tuned to find out what it is:)

That is it for me today. Please head on over to the Whimsical Wednesday Blog to see what the AWESOME design team created for the "Fall Colors" challenge. There is also an extra prize over there this week;) Thank you for stopping by..enjoy the rest of your week.
