Mornin' y'all! It's been busy already...hubs is home sick today with a very bad cold, but I got the kiddo off to school and then went to the store so I could buy potatoes (and somehow a bunch of other things) and then I put a roast (with the potatoes) into the crock pot for dinner. And did the dishes. Oh, I need to switch out my laundry. Lots to do today.
Anyway, the title of this post did not deceive you, I have a pumpkin card to share today:
And I made this for the Retro Rubber Challenge:
I did both diagonals and the bottom row, I have purple - your choice (paisley) - squares - gems/pearls - die cut - pumpkin. Pick of the Patch (greeting) is about two and a half years old, and I think I got Paisley Prints that year I was in Texas with Ryan so it should be about the same age. We've moved around so much for the past 22 years that I will associate a lot of crafty supplies with where we lived when I bought them, so those are both Texas sets. Anyway, I've never used Paisley Prints before and it's SO CUTE so I'm glad I had this excuse to ink it up.
It was the squares option on this tic-tac-toe (I just tried to call it a tic-taco, ha) that made me decide to tackle this week's Atlantic Hearts sketch:
Not gonna lie, I was all set to skip it but I really liked what Tracy did with the sketch so I decided to be brave and give it a shot. And then it ended up being not too bad thanks to my square dies, *and* I used up some leetle scraps of Soft Sky DSP. Also I really liked the combination of Concord Crush and Peach Pie from this card, so I went with those and swapped the Basic Beige for Soft Sky. Who cares if February isn't pumpkin season? Ryan's birthday is on Sunday and he's already requested I make an extra large pumpkin coffee cake for breakfast that day.
Aww, I'm out of tea. Guess I'd better go take Daphne for a walk and then work on more laundry. Cheers!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Paisley Prints, Pick of the Patch
Ink: Peach Pie, Soft Sky, Concord Crush

Oh gosh, Christy - I LOVE this! And I'm so glad someone used our "pumpkin" row, too, lol - this was one of our carry over challenges from the end of last year, lol. It's perfect, and I love the colors so much! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!

Beautiful soft color and I love that very fancy pumpkin. Thank you for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts.
Oh man....I am jealous that you still have some of the Soft Sky paper left--mine is LONG GONE! One of my favorite colors, and you also used a favorite image---pumpkins! So cute with our AHSC sketch this week!
Well, you nailed the sketch and the tic-taco (lol) and I loved that you used a pumpkin! Great color combo.
