Autumn Greetings

Welcome to my first post on my new blog! It has been quite a transition and I am having to re-learn lots of things. I have had lots of help and am so grateful, and any wonkiness is purely my doing! Please bear with me while I learn, experiment, and generally stumble about.

I am excited to be participating once again in the Create with Stamping Friends Challenges. I wasn’t able to participate for a few weeks and I missed it.

Here’s the sketch for the challenge. I followed the sketch pretty faithfully except I replaced the circle with a pumpkin from the Beautiful Pumpkins bundle and I now realize I also changed the location of the leaves.
