PHEW What a DAY!!!! And my "FOREVER PUMPKINS" a FAUX story

Hello my crafty friends.....goodness I've not written a post since April...I guess it just seems life gets in the way.  I have been posting on my facebook page though.  I also started a instagram page.  Not sure how I like that!  

With the holiday's around the corner, I am sure everyone is wondering what will I make this year.  I am hoping to stay regular on updating my blog.  I have some really fun items that I will be making this holiday season and cannot wait to share them with you all.  

Halloween turned out to be a busy one for this Crafty Queen....I made some pumpkins (faux) for our grandbabies, once everyone realized they were not really the craze kicked off.  I purchased one of the faux pumpkins a couple of years ago at Michaels (sticker shock!!!) and made a welcome sign in vinyl to place on this said pumpkin.  Well, this year after making the new ones (with ideas from my other crafty friends!  You know, "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!" (Some people on the web who like to sling copy write infringement need to remember this!...) Anywho, without further ado....some of the pumpkins that were created by MIO~~~




 These beauties were created using my cameo, the font on all of them is one called 2 peas Mr.Giggles, this is a font is a purchased font, it is created by 2 peas.  It is just such a fun font to use....for the polka dots I used my stampin up 1in punch, on some of them I also used the 3/4in punch.  The bling stars on the boys pumpkins is also a purchased file, created by some good friends of mine, head over to www.customrhinestonedesign.com the file you are looking for is:  blingstars CS esp svg ( I just love those stars!!!)  I could not believe how popular the black faux pumpkins would be!  They were a HUGE hit!!!  I am officially the Crazy Pumpkin lady!!!  Enjoy the rest of the photos & until next time...Do something Creative everyday....love love love Crafty Queen



























 This was the little beauty I purchased a couple of years ago at Michaels (sticker shock) and I decided to give it a little love this season!  It of course is out on my porch for the pending Thanksgiving Holiday (almost the lost Holiday..poor Thanksgiving)...and then the next one is a gift I made for our daughter & son in law of both of their birthday's and now they have another pumpkin to display with pride.  (the last pumpkin above with Don & Tammy was used as a wedding gift!  They had a Skelly themed wedding..hence the Mr& Mrs on the backside with there wedding date!)


Good night my crafty PEEPS =)
