Give Thanks

Welcome to another What If? Wednesday challenge from The House That Stamps Built.  This week we have a gorgeous inspiration photo for you:
Don't you love all those fall leaves?  And the reflection is fabulous!  Here is my take on the challenge:
As I am a relatively new member of the team, I don't have any tree stamps from Repeat Impressions, yet.  So, I had to go with the Fall theme of the photo.  Plus, I just received this awesome pumpkin stamp in the mail this week and "had" to use it. : )  But, I did use the colors from the photo and leaves, and that's what inspiration photos are all about.  Create however they inspire YOU.  Make sure you hop on over to The House blog to see how the rest of the DT was inspired.
  My ribbon was salvaged from a treat packaging I received a couple years ago and the button came from a pair of pants.  Gotta love recycling.  Oh, and the rhinestones were left overs from some mosaic fairies that my daughters have.  Hand-me-ups to Mom!

Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "514W Prize Pumpkin", "3306W Falling Leaves" and "2826W Let Us . . ."
Dies: MFT "Blueprints #13"

Challenges:
Craftin' Desert Divas--inspiration photo (I was inspired by the colors)

DRS #196--color challenge

Crafty Cats--anything goes
Di's Digis--too cute to spook (halloween or fall themed)
Cas-ual Chic #2--bingo (I used the stitching {stitched die}, coloring, distressing column)

Pattie's Creations #115--Fall or Halloween
Scrapper's Delights #49--Fall/halloween
Wags n' Whiskers #164--fall colors
Suzy Bee's Blooming Challenge #102--autumn colors
Hiding In My Craft Room #221--favorite cutting tool (my favorites are my Spellbinders Wizard die cutting machine/and dies, my Fiskars paper trimmer and my SU! craft knife--used all three; I also used scissors to distress the edges of the cream card stock)
Sketch Saturday #383--sketch

YNS #25-- color combo or sketch (this week I went with the color scheme: brown, orange, yellow and white)
Crafty Cardmakers #150--autumn colors
Die Cuttin' Divas #238--photo inspiration (inspired by the leaves, pumpkins and fall colors)
