Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Pumpkin Spice Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! Happy Veterans Day to all of our Vets. My Vet happens to be in heaven but I still celebrate Dave. You’ll see a photo at the end of my post.

Our theme is all about pumpkin spice this week and I added lots of pumpkins on my pretty designer paper tag:

The Pick Of The Pumpkin Bundle is a fun one to create with. I love the coordinating punch that cuts a few of the pumpkins. I hand-cut the funky shaped one with Paper Snips. I also stamped direct-to-paper on my designer paper tag:
