finally team A design team reveal with challenge for you!

so sorry about the delay everyone, its been a crazy week here! but without further ado here is team A's reveal!

this month i told the girls to pick their own sketch so here we go!

first i want to introduce our guest designer: Tracy aka nannytracy over at cafemom:

I am a SAHM who is homeschooling my 7 year old. My 4 year old granddaughter also lives with us (as does her mother, my 28 year old daughter). I have been married to my best friend for 15 years now, between us we now have 6 grandchildren.

I first started scrapping in 2001. At that time I had NO idea what was out there. I just knew that I had just returned from a once in a life time vacation and wanted to do something different with the pictures. I used plain white paper for all the backgrounds and added some strips of colored paper and stickers with lots of journaling. My hubby was so proud he took it to work and showed it off. One of the ladies in his office said something about scrapbooking and an Expo that was coming up in a couple of weeks. LOL. If he knew then what he knows now he probably wouldn't get the two of us together. I have been hooked ever since, but the best part is how much I have learned in the past year or so on CafeMom. The ladies in the scrapping groups I belong to are so talented and they have inspired me to think outside of my comfort zone on many occasions. The quality of my pages has improved immeasurably.

the great pumpkin tutorial

hi everyone, our own dt kathy came up with this tutorial, so do those paper pumpkins and show them to us!

I got this idea from dawn griffith but I have changed it a little bit. I will give you the measurements to make 3 different sizes. The picures in the tutorial are for the large one.

Things you will need:

paper trimmer, 12x12 double sided patterened paper, green CS scraps, a complimentary piece of double sided paper for vines(will explain later), length of ribbon at least 1/4 of an inch thick to match(i used brown) Pencil, small hole punch(1/8 is what I used, small side on a crop-o-dile)

I am going to give you the measurements for the 3 sizes. Just apply which ever size you choose to the pictures the directions are the same.

sm: cut PP to 51/2 x10 and cut into 10~1"strips

med: cut PP to 6 1/2 x 11 and cut into 11~1" strips

Large: cut PP to 7 1/2 x 12 and cut into 12~1" strips

After you have cut your pp to size stack them and punch a hole at each end(if your using a crop-o-dile you can do it all at once if using a different hole punch only do a few at a time)

after you have punched both sides it should look like this

Next take your ribbon and tie a knot in one end. You are then going to thread it through one end of your strips so the the Pattern of your choice is on the outside. Then thread it through the other hole so that it looks like this

You are then going to "fan" out your strips so that they will look like a pumpkin

Next your going to take your green scraps and fold them in half. Your going to cut out a leaf shape(remember when you floded a paper in half to cut out a heart...same thing just make a leaf) you need 2 of these one just a bit smaller than the first

you are then going to cut 2-3 tiny 12 in or so strips from the other peice of PP and wrap them around a pencil to make them curly

To finish you are going to glue the vines and the leaves to the top of the pumpkin to look like this

here are my 3 pumpkins...they look so pretty on my fireplace mantle

come check out our card dt's first creations!
