Our Creative Corner - Pumpkin Pie

Hi there,

Welcome back .... I am a bit late with my posting for Our Creative Corner this week, which went live yesterday!

This week, we are very honoured to welcome Silke Ledlow, as our Guest Designer for this week's challenge. Silke is a previous Design Team member for Our Creative Corner and she is a fabulous designer and wonderful creator. "Welcome Silke"

Now, to keep things short and to the point, the challenge this week is being hosted by the lovely Wendy Jansen, and this is what Wendy has to say:

"Who doesn't look forward to pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving?! Well Thanksgiving is soon approaching and with the anticipation of pumpkin pie, the challenge this week is to create a project using pumpkins or the color pumpkin pie as the focal point or main color of your project!"

So this is what I came up with:

I have taken the Pumpkin Pie colour and used that as my theme - the stamp set I have used is called Bold Botanicals from My Time Made Easy.

I hope that you will join in the fun with us at Our Creative Corner.

I am entering this into the Lily Pad - Texture Challenge, and;

I am also entering this into CAS-ual Fridays as their theme is:

Late edit: I am also going to sneak this into the Play Date Cafe challenge, which is Black and White with a splash of Orange .... my card has a rather LARGE splash of orange, but fingers crossed that it's okay!

Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!
