Well, there is no denying it. Between the cooler temperatures and first snowfalls, and the not so subtle hints on the calendar it is time to face the music - fall has arrived. Now, I have to admit that while I love summer, I am also quite the fan of fall. And while you may be thinking, "Karen, fan or not, don't you think it's a little early for the pumpkin-themed projects?" I have news for you!
Thanksgiving and all it's glory is just around the corner! No really, it is...at least it is for those of us up in Canada! So while I love posting Thanksgiving-themed projects this time of the year because it makes me look like I am ahead or the game, the truth is that I am just squeaking in under the wire as usual!
It's a good thing I have Doodlebug products to help me out! These little pumpkin treat containers are actually going to make an appearance on the Thanksgiving table. Add an initial or a little sentiments and you can personalize each one for your guest list. I love that these scream fall and thanksgiving without needing any actual fall themed product. Choose the colours for the season and you are all set! I used a combination of oranges from both the Floral-Graph; and Dot-Stripe; collections int he 12x12 size for the main part of the containers. I also embellished with some cute mini doilies, a mini paper clip from the fall set and a yummy Bon Bon Sprinkle...I am true believer in the power of a Doodlebug Sprinkle to just finish off any project.
I also decided to add a band of the 6x6 Petite Prints. I love that the prints are smaller and daintier in the 6x6 versions. You can use exactly the same print for a really cute coordinated look that still provides contrast.
So there you have it - a little taste of fall. It wasn't so bad now, was it?
Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
Such cute little pumpkins!!
