Pumpkin Love: I Feel the Love

Happy Monday, my crafty friends! Such busy times, but I'm thankful to have been a wee bit crafty this weekend. :o)

As you know, I especially love creating when it serves a special purpose. As soon as I finished my cards for cancer patients last weekend, I started thinking on my contribution to this month's I Feel the Love Project. Each month, the lovely Madison of Funky Cards highlights a particular person, family, or organization in need of an extra burst of sunshine. In turn, we have the honor of creating cards for the recipients to show them how much we care. It's a truly beautiful endeavor.

This month, IFTL is blessing Casa Pacifica, which serves abused and neglected children and adolescents, and those with severe emotional, social, behavioral, and mental health challenges. We are providing cute and cheery Halloween cards for their yearly festive celebration.

I made three shaped cards for three sweet kiddos. :o)

Using my Gypsy, I welded together a Create a Critter pumpkin and critter for each card. I cut out sparkling lollipops from a DCWV patterned paper and "stuffed" the pumpkins, cutting off the tops and placing them on their heads for little hats. ;) Each critter is holding two lollipops in their cute little hands. The sparkly penguin has a Peachy Keen face, while the raccoon has a glittery mask.

For final touches, I accented the shimmery pumpkins with orange rhinestones and made tiny bows for the glittery pumpkin stems. I hope these deliver sweet pumpkin love to their very special recipients. :o) There are still a few days left in this month's collection if you'd like to join us! :o)
