Autumn Bliss at The Shabby Tea Room

Hello my Shabby Tea Room Friends.....

Today at "The Shabby Tea Room" is our first "bi-weekly" post....

The Shabby Tea Room, starting this week is moving our challenges to the

"first" and "third" Monday of each month...

giving you more time to enter our challenges and twice the chance to win a prize....

We will giving "TWO" prizes each challenge!!

This challenge is all about "Autumn Bliss".....

using the inspiration photo, we ask that you include a "pumpkin".

Our TWO sponsors this week are Bugaboo Digi Stamps

 and

By Digital Paper  from Janet on Etsy

For my first card using Bugaboo, I chose "Pumpkin Patch"

I printed the digital stamp 3 times on scraps of paper so I could paper piece my pumpkins.

I actually did some stitching on this card...

and luckily with the first few stitches, my bobbin broke...

I say lucky because "dumb" me had my entire card under the needle

and I now have a few tiny holes inside my card....

I almost stitched the entire thing closed...lol

I added some pompom trim and a bow made out of a ribbon scrap....

my spooky fence line is from a Spellbinders die I won a few years back...

I coated the crows and kitties with glitter!

For my second card, using By Digital Paper from Janet on Etsy,

I chose "Halloween Postcard" collage sheet.

I love how this card came together with the adorable vintage image postcard!

Underneath I added a large Rosette I had made for something else...

I had to use it as it just seemed to be perfect for it!!

Under that , just peeking out is a Cheery Lynn die,,,,,

The kitty had already been cut from glitter from my stash...

the ribbon is some I recently picked up from Michaels which I added a pumpkin button to

the little sequins at the top  I made...yes really with a My Favorites Thing die

and using Shimmer Sheetz paper...they look just like the real thing!!

I did use my Zutter DIA for my background paper

 and added glitter (Stickles) to my image!!

Now, it's YOUR turn to head on over the "The Shabby Tea Room"
