The print is of a pumpkin<br />that I designed and tangled ~ so everything is hand-made by me.<br />The pumpkin can be seen on both sides and has<br />been mounted between two pieces of glass.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NvEtm1BLIn4/TJaThPcb87I/AAAAAAAAARY/NANuwWRKQIE/s1600/pumpkin+zipper+pull_copper.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 114px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NvEtm1BLIn4/TJaThPcb87I/AAAAAAAAARY/NANuwWRKQIE/s200/pumpkin+zipper+pull_copper.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518760592679891890" border="0" /></a>What a great gift!<br />This can be purchased through EC Studio Designs<br />at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ECStudioDesigns">www.etsy.com/shop/ECStudioDesigns</a><br /><br /></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377413004477652942.post-68214031435683533592010-09-19T11:30:00.000-07:002010-09-19T11:33:30.881-07:00Way too much fun!<div style="text-align: center;">I don't mind telling you ~<br />I'm having way too much fun!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NvEtm1BLIn4/TJZXC9cO7oI/AAAAAAAAARQ/1oGFbdfmBX0/s1600/frame.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NvEtm1BLIn4/TJZXC9cO7oI/AAAAAAAAARQ/1oGFbdfmBX0/s200/frame.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518694101753458306" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />Bookmark, pendant, ornament?????</span><br /><br /><br /></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377413004477652942.post-61750717675825172422010-09-17T15:02:00.000-07:002010-09-17T15:08:34.773-07:00I LOVE Autumn!<div style="text-align: center;">This is my absolute favorite time of the year!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love everything Autumn ~ even the word Autumn is yummy!<br />So, it goes without saying that I'm having<br />a blast making cards ~ here is one of them.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NvEtm1BLIn4/TJPmMtC89fI/AAAAAAAAARI/luZzOBRDoWA/s1600/pumpkin001.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 157px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NvEtm1BLIn4/TJPmMtC89fI/AAAAAAAAARI/luZzOBRDoWA/s200/pumpkin001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518007074383787506" border="0" /></a>I know you can't see it, but I have lined<br />the center of this pumpkin with<br />Sakura's Gelly Roll, Copper Star.<br />If you haven't used these pens you are<br />missing out.
