October is coming to an end and so is the Sweet Harvest theme over at the My Pumpkin Challenge . We shared so many sweet ideas this month. You still have a chance to share your creations too! We love to see what everyone makes with their Paper Pumpkin kits. I made mini candy wrapper boxes using the envelope punch board. I stamped the witches hat and candy images from the September kits on Whisper White Cardstock to make my own Designer Series Paper! They were fun and easy to make. They make the perfect little treat box this Halloween. Thanks for stopping by. Next week we will start a whole new challenge!

Fall is finally here and Christmas is just around the corner! What better way to celebrate the changing seasons than with this Fall/Christmas Mantle Décor Ensemble! The accordion style banner sits beautifully on a mantle or shelf to welcome fall into your home. Perfectly coordinated votive candles with tiny, dangling autumn leaves border the banner on either side. And can you guess the best part? Just flip the banner around and switch the dangling leaves on the candles for trees and stars and you are ready for Christmas! The banner folds up and fits nicely between the two candles inside the custom gift box. The gift box is also a great way to store the décor each year when not in use. Two matching greeting cards top off this festive ensemble. This cheerful project was created by Julie Warnick .

Are you ready for a new theme over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ? How about Sweet Harvest . I would say it fits perfect with the September Paper Pumpkin kit! For my sample, I embossed the leaves and acorn with white embossing powder along the outside like a border, then I sponged Tangelo Twist and Hello Honey over the embossed images. I stamped the tag that was included in the kit and used dimensionals to pop it up in the center. I hope you will share your lovely creations over at the My Pumpkin Challenge . It is so nice to see everyone think outside the box! Thanks for stopping by!
