Pumpkin Patch

Are you ready for October??

The challenge this month at Scrap It Girl is buttons, use more than a dozen buttons on your project. For this project I knew I wanted to scrap my three little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. Each year when they were little I would always take their picture like this, it became a tradition, I don't know why, just one of those things. I highlighted each one with a round of buttons, they are so darn cute! I used various punches and dies for the leaves and pumpkins and misc paper and buttons.

I painted the chipboard, I mixed some neon green, blue and white to come up with this minty color waited for that to dry then kinda dry brushed some white paint over it.

Good things come in small packages

For me it would rain red roses,
wonders and miracles to meet
and luck would open each door that closes,
like a hand from above, delivered with love

Wonders and miracles to meet, this is what I got with this small package and have always felt blessed to have this child. Everyday is full of wonder and miracles and the lessons I have been taught by this small package is numerous and I am grateful for each one. Don't blink. These pictures are 20 years old, unbelievable. Now this child has brought her own small package into the world. I am truly blessed to experience 4 generations being in the same room. I have to wonder was this what it was like for my mother when I had this small package and my grandmother was still with us? I was in a different spot in the family line up then and didn't realize all the miracles around me. I have been bumped up in rank now and try my hardest not to blink, I don't want to miss anything.
The lyrics above are from a song sung by Rene Caron, it is truly beautiful. This is the challenge song over at Scapping the Music and I was inspired to join in on the challenge. The video is below if you would like to give a listen.

Remember don't blink.

Sweet

September already, wow! This year is flying by. It's time for a new challenge at Scrap It Girl, it's a recipe this time and I gotta say I really had to think on this one, getting all the ingredients to flow. The recipe is to use twine, arrows, circles, bird and the color red.
I used the twine on the bottom of page and to attach sign together, I have to admit I only have one arrow here, sorry. The circles are the pic and I stamped red circles on the background paper, the embellie with the bird near the top is a circle and some dies I used are circular. I actually have three birds the one in the corner , one on the sign and the bird in the embellie, and my red is also in the paper I laid down behind photo and my red circle, I didn't use a lot but it is there.

If you enter this month you will have a chance to win this fabby prize, just in time for Halloween!
