November SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring November's Stamp of the Month, Capture the Date, a set of 72 stamps. If you have came here from Beth's Blog, you are on the right path. The blog hop is a great big circle, you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you can find a complete list of participating consultants here.

Place a qualifying order to purchase the Stamp of the Month for only $5, and you can chose another stamp set of your choice for 50% off! Your half off stamp set is your choice from any of the current A,B,C,D,E or M stamp sets!

The promotion is valid from November 1, 2012 (9:00AM MST) through November 30, 2012 (11:59PM MST).

I incorporated November 22 from the Capture the Date stamp set to make one layer of my background paper. I used the Thanksgiving stamp from the So Grateful set for my additional layer. I fussy cut my pumpkin and layered onto my Perfect Fit Frame, which was cut with the Art Philosophy cartridge. I folded down the top edge of my burlap strip to give my card a cleaner finish. My card is based on the sketch challenge this week at The Paper Players-

I added an additional layer of pattern paper from the Florentine Paper pack to finish out the inside of my card. The colors are perfect for Fall.
