lawnscaping challenge - fall and pumpkins!

i know it's cliche to say...but can you believe it's november already?? i'm not complaining...it's just a reminder to be thankful for each day, and to treasure your blessings! which is a perfect way to jump right into this NEW challenge at the Lawnscaping Challenge!

it's all about fall and pumpkins!! to me fall is not only the cool weather, pumpkin spiced everything or changing leaves (thought let me tell you - those are some of my FAVORITE reasons for falll too!!). fall is also about taking time to be thankful! 

for my card, i totally combined the two! 

i colored the pumpkins from the so thankful mini stamp set (i just LOVE the whimsical shape of these pumpkins!). i also colored the super adorable little scarf from snow day and added it to one of the pumpkins! that thought was actually the inspiration for my card! i worked the rest of the card around that one, bundled up pumpkin!

silly, i know, but i love it! :)

i created the sky by blending various distress inks (tumbled glass, peacock feathers and just a smidge of chipped shapphire at the top corners). 

I stamped the AMAZING birch trees from joy to the woods (LOOOOOOVE those!), and then heat embossed the sentiment!

ok, so now it's your turn! :) i really hope you join in on the fun with this challenge!!
