Today's pumpkin is by our very own Debbie Kopp!  Debbie's Pumpkin is called the Grim Pumpkin!

Supplies
Pumpkin Creative Impression 
Black Web Ribbon
Deli Paper
Dylusion Sprays - Black Marble, Crushed Grape and Pure Sunshine
Collage Pauge
Petaloo Pin Leaf Embellishment

 
Debbie started out by crushing up sheets of deli paper and sprayed them with water and Dylusion Sprays.  She then tapped off excess spray with a roll of kitchen paper towels and then dried them with the heat gum.  Once dry, she then worked in small sections applying Collage Pauge to the pumpkin then ripped a piece of the deli paper and applied to the pumpkin.  Once the pumpkin was completely covered with the paper, she put a light coat of Collage Pauge over the top.  She then took redline tape and adhered it to the top around the stem and placed the black wed ribbon around the stem.  Even a grim pumpkin needs a little bling so she used leaf embellishments by Petaloo.  Viola Done!  Debbie is slipping to the dark side!

Great Job Debbie!  We look forward to our next release tomorrow by Miriam!

I’m excited to share my very first Design Team project with you - Karen Foster Design-it Drawers! 

First, I sanded the case and the drawer fronts.  Then I painted the case with Walnut Stain Distress Paint and the drawer fronts with Adirondack Gold Paint.  (I really like that you can use the dabber top to paint with, or open the bottle and use a brush).  I dabbed a combination of Radiant Rains (in Teal Zircon, Copper and Solar Gold) on top of the gold paint.  I love the patina effect they give.

The clock faces were cut from Tim Holtz’s Collage Mini Paper Stash, covered with a thin layer of Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint (love this stuff!) and attached with Collage Pauge (awesome stuff that adheres AND seals!).

The Tim Holtz Label Pulls and the Tim Holtz Keyholes were rubbed with a bit of Broken China Distress Paint.  I punched holes in the drawers and attached them with long fasteners.  Then I labeled each drawer with Tim Holtz Label Letters (because what good is having all these compartments if you don’t know what is in them?!).

Inside the drawers are squares of paper (cut from Tim Holtz’s Collage Mini Paper Stash and adhered with Collage Pauge) and French Industrial Salvage Stickers, just because. 

Using Walnut Stain Distress Ink, I edged some more French Industrial Salvage stickers, covered them with a thin coat of Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint (have I mentioned how much I love this stuff??) and placed them on the case.

I covered the entire case and the drawer fronts with Collage Pauge before adhering a 7 Gypsies Square Hook on the side.  I attached a jump ring to a Tim Holtz Swivel Clasp and hung a skeleton key that actually opens the middle drawer.

I had a lot of fun with this project!  Hope you’ll try one, too!!

Great job Kim!  What a great idea and so useful for all those embellishments we all have and not sure how to store them!
