Hey Pumpkin ... PSI #12

Hi there crafty peeps! What are you doing today ... hopefully enjoying this lovely fall day and getting a little crafty time in too! I'm super excited to share a sweet little something I recently created for the October challenge at Paper Sweeties! We have an inspiration photo this month and I'm smitten with the theme and the beautiful autumn color palette ... what do you think??

I decided to dress Miss Emma up like the adorable little girl in the inspiration photo ... and she is pulling a wagon of freshly picked pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!!

This card was quick and simple to put together ... die cutting the paper doll image, embossing the polka dotted blue sky background and paper piecing all the coordinating elements! Soooo fun ... it makes me giggle!!

I used the Emma, Sweeties Wagon, Happy Fall Ya’ll, Stand Add-on 1 and Stand Add-on 2 stamp sets along with the Emma Sweet Cuts die from Paper Sweeties!

I hope you're inspired to play along with the October Paper Sweeties challenge for a chance to win some yumminess from the boutique!

And, I'm guest designing this month with the Ribbon Carousel! They have a Halloween/fall challenge going on this month ... hope you'll have time to play along!
