Pumpkin Gift Bag & Crafty Gratitude

Oh cool, time for another installment of My Pumpkin Challenge's August "All Goes!"   This time, I knew I wanted use more of the latest kit - "Party Pennants."  The size of the banner pieces really made me think of a gift bag - how to dress it up??  So I started by rooting through my accessory stash to see what I had in the coordinating colors, and this is where I ended up!  I also got a chance to break out the awesome Simply Created Build A Banner kit - even if you never make a banner (and I don't know why you wouldn't!) the stencils alone are worth their weight in gold!  I used one of them to place the polka dots on my gift bag - worked like a charm!  I'll be saving this for hubby's birthday in October - yay!

July Paper Pumpkin - Party Pennants; plus, Kraft gift bag (eBay by the case!); Summer Starfruit, Tangerine Tango & Island Indigo inks; Apothecary Accents Framelits; Essentials Piercing Template; Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon; Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin; Simply Created Build A Banner kit.

Also, for this week's Paper Craft Crew #54, I knew I wanted to pull out my new "Thanksgiving" sets, and maybe make something autumnal out of them.  This is the result.  I have to say, I find Sahara Sand to be a challenging color to work with!  I decided that I thought it was best set off with white, but that sort of clashed with my Fall theme, so, well, I feel like I've been tinkering long enough, and it's time to stop!  I think it should be like emissions, lol.  You know, after you've spent enough $$ on a bad test, you get to stop where you are?  After you spend enough time on a card, you have to be courageous enough to quit while you're ahead!  Sahara Sand & Always Artichoke get to be one of my new fave color combos, though!
Make sure to stop by Paper Craft Crew and play along - can't wait to see what YOU can do!
Truly Grateful & Magnificent Maple stamp sets; Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke & Whisper White CS; Sweater Weather DSP; Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Always Artichoke; Cajun Craze & Soft Suede inks; Deco Labels & Bitty Banners framelits; Woodgrain embossing Folder; Regals Candy Dots.
