Pocket Acorn to Cider Pouch

 

What do you think so far of those fabulous projects using the Pocket Acorn?  It's always interesting seeing how each design team members comes up with a different Creative Take using the same template.

 

If you're just joining the Pocket Acorn blog hop you can start here and continue viewing the projects going forward by selecting the button at the bottom.  You're also free to view that awesome sample of Ruth Trice's  giant Pocket Strawberry.

 

I've taken a different approach using this Pocket Acorn for a fall cider pouch holder. 

 

The Orchard Harvest DSP was the perfect choice for the acorn cap and cherry cobbler to supply an even richer color for the fall.

 

 

For the teapot, I clipped one of the apples from the left over DSP and peices of the teapot from the "From My Heart" stamp set.  Dimensions to lift the banner and the teapot adds extra dimension.

 

 

Here's a glimpse of the inner pocket with a cider packet and some cinnamon sticks tied up with ribbon.

 

 

 

I hope you've enjoyed my Creative Take on the Pocket Acorn from the Septemeber issue, Autumn Amidst of the Paper Crafters Sampler.  Now, hop on over to Lisa Hensley site and check out her festive project.

 

 

 

Pumpkin Patch

Here's the reamining images from our Pumpkin Patch visit.  To see the FULL size image (these are cropped), simply select on the image.

Check out these gooseneck gourds.

Mushrooms gourds.  How knew?

A Southern Pumpkin Patch

A spur of the moment trek to Trinity Lutheran Church for a photo op in the pumpkin patch with the boys today.

There were only 3 images altered/cropped. The lighting was perfect. It's nearly impossible to take an unworthy photo with so many brightly colored gourds in one place.

Below are a few images from our journey, and through the power of blogging you'll get to join us.  Let's go.


First up...the entrance (partial view of the full patch).  I took this through the front window while driving in.

The Warty gourd....

The REALLY Warty gourd.....

Shade, sun, oak trees and gourds.  This photo should give you a feeling of what the weather was like today.

A perfect fall day!

THIS is my FAVORITE image.  Isn't this woody stem amazing??  Great contrast against the bright orange color and ripples on the pumpkin.

An orange mass beneath a shady Southern oak.  This was my second favorite image. 

Sunny pumpkins.

A few off-color gourds.  Just as beautiful as the orange ones.

It's interesting how some interpret the word "Smile"....

That's it for now.  I'll have the remaining images tomorrow.
