It’s Monday and time for another challenge on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.

This week it’s all about the “Pumpkin Patch“ or anything fall related. I received a free project sheet from Archiver’s over a year ago on how to make a really cute pumpkin out of cardstock. It’s one of those projects that I wanted to try … but never had the time to do. When I saw this challenge I remembered that project sheet and knew that pumpkin would be perfect for this challenge. I changed it up a bit from the original directions and I used patterned paper instead of a solid color cardstock. I will say all that scoring was a lot of work but I love how it turned out.

　
Be sure to link your project to the inlinkz tool on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog. To be eligible for the prize draw you need to be linked by Sunday October 21^st.

One random drawn prize winner will receive a $10.00 voucher to Di’s Digi Downloads.

Each month I make my grandson’s some type of little gift to take their teachers. I figure the 5 Howard boys will make a name for themselves … and a little bribery never hurt lol! This month each teacher is getting an adorable little treat bag. I have been so inspired by my new scrappy tools from Just Imagine Crafts!

I cut the bags out with my Cricut, using the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge. I then used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to cut the hole in the front of the bags. I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #916 with no insert to give the top of the bags a decorative border.  Adding a little bag of candy corn finished the project.  These cute little bags would make great party favors too!

This week the challenge is (#140) “Autumn Leaves Falling” for this challenge I decided to cut the images with my Cricut machine using the Serenade cartridge. I then embossed them using my very neglected Cuttlebug machine and embossing folders. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'm beyond thrilled to be the Guest Designer for October on the Just Imagine Crafts Kreaxions Punches Blog!
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a little technically challenged … ok more than a little, I’ll say a lot lol! We have an alarm clock I don’t know how to set, I have a smart phone that is smarter than I am and I don’t pump my own gas. So when I received my Kreaxions punch and supplies from Just Imagine Crafts I was a little intimidated when I saw them. The circle cutter, the 4 in 1 punch, the stencils … whoa … the positioning parts! How was I going to figure all this out?! Let me tell you that after watching the video tutorials from the blog just once I felt confident and started experimenting and creating the following projects.

For the “Spooky Card” I had wanted to try making these flowers out of newspaper for months and never did because … who has time to cut out all those circles. Using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter I found I could cut through several layers of newspaper at once, what a timesaver! Using the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #312 with no insert I created the perfect border to finish off the card.

For the “Boo” card I used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to cut a perfect circle which I distressed and then mounted my title on. Using the Kreaxions #312 4 in 1 punch I made a border and then embellished it with pearls.

I wanted to do something special for this layout “Expecting Gracelynn”. It’s for our daughter who is expecting their 6^th child and their first girl. I used the Kreaxions B circle template along with the positioning system and the #312 4 in 1 punch to create the punched circle. I also added some extra detail to the corners by using the #312 punch with the C insert. I love the results!

Be sure to check out the Just Imagine Crafts Kreaxions Punches Blog for lots of inspiration from some very talented ladies on their Design Team.

I'm hosting a layout challenge at My Sketch World this month.
