The Great Pumkin Blog HOp Oct 29th ~ 30th

Happy Saturday and Welcome to

The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop... if you like pumpkins you

come to the right hop... So if you come from April's Blog your

on the right path... Now if you just happen upon The Queen's Blog

you really should start at the beginning our wonderful host.. Amy's Blog

Now to be honest The Queen's not a Pumpkin lover

yeah it's true nay shall any pumpkin pass these Royal Lips...

Well except for Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chips.

Now my Daughter Jessica loves to buy fresh pumpkins

and make a killer pumpkin pie... which my dear husband loves

{since I don't bake pumpkin pies)

The Queen used Copic Markers for the coloring

of this digi image from The Stamping Boutique

Now this card is a easel card and easy to create using

your Spellbinders Dies... just fold the base card stock in half

and leave a bit of room for the fold at the top

Then swipe your designer card stock into the same die ...

Bit of tape and you got an easel card...

hope you enjoy the hop so far come back tomorrow for another

exciting hop day for Pumpkin madness...

Now you next stop on this hop is

Jessica's Blog and don't forget the blog candy rules:

This is a TWO-DAY blog HOP, and it is all about the pumpkins!! Be sure to stop on by for each day of the hop as there will be NEW ideas on Saturday AND Sunday!! You won't want to miss a thing!! Prizes will be offered for visitors of DAY ONE and visitors of DAY TWO, but A GRAND PRIZE will be offered to those who choose to hop and comment on BOTH DAYS!! :) Hope to see you there!!

The Queen adores Emma the Gypsy Queen and all the ways she inspired us all with both hervideo's and her creative stamps... The Queen used one of her all time favorite stamps set "Color Me Happy" this set isone of Emma very first releases...

The Queen has chosen to create a card forthe design team call using a cute image from Meljen's Design calledFancy Flower Horse

The Queen also used a her Spellbinders

to create a scalloped edge around this

colorful prancing horse... Inked around the

edges with Pixie Pink Stampin' Up ink.

The Queen used her EK Success Punches

to create the lace effect and place for the

Bight Pink Ribbon Bow

Now this adorable image was created using

PrismaColor Pencils and accented with

The Queen's Royal White Gel Pen

Now doesn't the sentiment fit just perfectly
