It's Pumpkin Time!

Happy Pre-October, y'all!  Usually I make a pumpkin coffee cake for the first Sunday breakfast in September, but the hubs spotted some cinnamon rolls in the fridge and asked for those instead and since he's got an unending nasty headache while we await his surgery date, he gets what he wants.

I did get some time this afternoon to play in my craft room and I couldn't let today go by without posting something pumpkin-related.  You should see my outfit, too--I'm Halloween Stitch from head to toe (Stitch from Lilo & Stitch) because I found some Halloween pajama pants at Walmart last week.  I already had the shirt and the socks : )

Anyway, card!


I absolutely adore Pick of the Patch from last year's fall offerings so I had to get it out for the first day of pumpkin season.  I took a few liberties with the Just Add Ink sketch but I promise that's what I started with:


And there's a lovely fall palette at Sunday Stamps:


I used Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze, and added a bit of Pecan Pie for a neutral.

Last up is the theme challenge from Retro Rubber Challenges:


I think a trip to the pumpkin patch falls under the category of the great outdoors, right?  (My idea of camping is a cabin that has indoor plumbing, no tents for me thanks!)  Pick of the Patch is a year old so it's just now entered its retro era.

When Ryan finishes the art he's working on, I think I'll see if he wants to watch a movie with me.  I've been battling a cold all week so sitting on the couch for a bit sounds like a good plan to me.  Cheers!

Stamps:  Pick of the Patch
Ink:  Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie
