PATCHQUILT PUMPKIN

Back from my WONDERFUL visit with my daughter and son-in-law in Oregon.  It was the best trip up there that I have had yet.  The gorgeous colors of Autumn were everywhere!  I got some great card making goodies at several shops and am about to embark on a new venture. . .  I am going to make my first album.  I took so many lovely pictures and I want to do something special with them.  It will be a while before it's complete, but I'm excited about starting it.

This card is one I did today for Thanksgiving.  I love the little turkey, he was a button that I got on my trip, and also the paper came from a craft store in Salem.  The pumpkin is pieces of paper I put together like a quilt and cut the shape with my Nestie's, then I used a pen to make stitch marks.  I added some raffia, a leaf and buttons to finish it off.  It's pretty colorful!
