CCC: Carving Pumpkins

Hi you all welcome to my blog. Today is a bit special to me, see it's my Birthday yep I turned 52 today and I have been enjoying life the best I can happily married, wonderful kids and blessed with a bunch of grandkids, you see them all once in awhile in my scrapping. I have been extremely blessed and blessed to enjoy the crafting talent I have and enjoy doing. Enough about me time to get on with the scraping project I did for Creative Cutting Challenge:

 The polka dot pumpkins were made from Creative Pointe's Jack Pumpkins die cuts:

This set is so cool, a great set to have on hand for this type of scraping and great for card making too. I sized down the files that I used and they cut wonderfully even at the smaller sizes.
I also used a sketch from Sketch N Scrap for my layout:


I used some new to me background paper that I got last month at a flea market, it's a good fine for me to find scrapbooking stuff at these places. The rest of the papers are from my current counterfeit kit.

 I used one of the die cuts for the file for the title cluster, just a fun pumpkin added stickles to glitter up the yellow. Fun alphas from last month's kit.

 I found this fun stamped pumpkin in my stash I think I got it in a swap. Elias and AJ holding their completed carved pumpkins. Avery's had a mishap on the way to be set down so didn't make it to the porch.

 I found a pumpkin that was previous diecut turned it around and used the back side for my journaling block. A picture of our well decorated porch, I do love my grandkids :)

 Another one of the die cuts these were just to cute.

Avery, Elias and AJ with help from Dad (Albert) carving their pumpkins.
We had a blast this day with the grandkids, it's fun to interactive things like this with them.
 The shelf mentioned in the previous post got reattached on Saturday:

Now it's sturdier and spent the day putting things back. In the process I came across some cool paper kits that I added to my counterfeit kit for the month. Out of the 7 or 8 kits I found what isn't used I will gift to a blogger at the end of the month so watch out for that post near the end of October. It'll be a nice mix of papers, stickers, ribbons, other embellishments and just may add a few extras in there too.
That's it for me now it's your turn:
 Off you go and give a try to the challenge we hope you all play along with us:
