Harvest Pumpkin~

Wow, I can't believe it is already Friday again. Where did the week go!
Today, I have a card using the new digital stamp by Simple Doodles. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
After going through my list of sketch challenges for the week, I decide to use the one from Papertake #22. I think both the image and layers of the sketch work well together.
Here is the sketch~ and here is the card~
Just got the punch yesterday, and love it!!!
Supplies~
Stamps: pumpkin (Simple Doodles) and saying (Papertrey)
Cardstock/Ink: designer paper pack, pumpkin pie, spring rain, cream, chocolate, and copics G28,YR04, YR07, YR16,E37,YG17, and E29
Extra: oval paper punch (3-D), brown buttons, paper punch, and orange glitter

Before I go, I wanted to let all of you know that I will be adding all of my Simple Doodles things here. After some thinking, I decided to not have the Simple Doodles blog. I'm already busy with life and adding things to this one, I just don't have to time to be adding another blog (with almost the same things). So with that said, you will see some extra posts for Simple Doodles (mostly during release time). But not to worry, that doesn't mean I won't be using my other favorite stamp companies!!! Also as a bonus for all of you: free digital stamps and chances to win more free digital stamps.
Be sure to look out for the Freebie: Snowball for Sale (coming next).
