Scary Pumpkin Patch

Here's my take on the Great Pumpkin challenge, and thank heaven for this challenge! I've been in the middle of a scrap drought for days! My muse has gone walkabout with no explanation, no kiss good-bye, no indication of when she might return. Sigh. I hate it when that happens! This challenge sparked an idea--finally!--and I've had a blast making this page.

The extracted photos are of my brother-in-law and my niece. After carving jack o' lanterns last year, they had fun posing with them, and I had fun planting their photos into a Photoshop pumpkin patch! :)

My niece is not fond of this photo, not only because of the goofy look on her face but because of the rather severe pony tail she's wearing. She's discovered boys recently and has become a bit more preoccupied with her appearance than she was a year ago. She's already dreading bringing a boy over for Sunday dinner, since she knows that dessert and coffee are always accompanied by looking through Aunt Shirley's latest scrapbooks! I can't wait! :)

I was careful to not recolor the Great Pumpkin we were to use in this challenge, although I did tuck a piece of paper behind it. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
Ahhh Shirley - brilliant. I have to tell you, just as you were commenting on the journaling on my LO, I was snorting with laughter looking at your LO in the challenge thread. I guess we're on the same wavelength!

Love the additional "pumpkins" - your niece is really not going to thank you for this one, is she!

The stitched border is just perfect - really sets it all off brilliantly.
 
your pages ALWAYS make me smile, Shirley! every page of yours is so unique and fun!

re: the Muse. mine does the same thing. consistently.
 
Bwuahahahaha ... this is BRILLIANT! I love the way you've extracted your photos & plumped them smack bang in the middle of the pumpkin patch ... such a great LO deserves to be highlight, so check out the Standing O's ... https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?p=301049#post301049
 
I love how you overlapped the title letters and put the date on the branch. Very fun page!
 
love the photos in the pumpkin patch! what a fantastic idea! this page just made me smile! love your title!
 
It's always a toss up--which do I like better? your super creative art or your entertaining text? One wouldn't be the same without the other! Wow Shirley, when your muse shows up, she's seriously fabulous!
 
Totally love the design of this. Best of all might be the wonder interlocking of the outlined title and its major part in the page.
