My Pumpkin Table Decor and Helmar

Hi, it's my turn over at Helmar today and I created some cute home décor pieces.  I am lucky enough to have a Home Goods and a Joanne's right next to each other so I did a little shopping.  I bought the paper-mache pumpkin at Joanne's and the adorable square all wood pumpkin at Home Décor. 

I decided to decorate them using Helmar's Decoupage and also Crystal Kote Gloss Varnish.
They look great on my dining room table and especially when my family dropped by.

Below are some photos of my process but for more extensive photos please go on over to the Helmar blog today and take a look at my post.  Let me know what you think.

These pumpkins look perfect for the Fall Season, your Thanksgiving Table and also great for gifts.  They were fun to make and Helmar made it easy.

 

Thank you for stopping by today ...

Veteran's Day Card

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a card featured at Helmar.  Please go on over and say hello.  As you know tomorrow is Veteran's Day and I wanted to create a patriotic card using Helmar Adhesives.

I knew I wanted to use an American Flag so I went out and bought Tim Holt's "Flag Sketch" stamp and used Stampendous red embossing power to emboss the image on my card.

I fussy cut a soldier image that I found on the a free clip art site and I die cut some flags out of navy felt.  I glued this all together using Helmar 450 Quick Dry and lifted the soldier off my card with Helmar Zap Dots.

Thank you all for stopping by - please go on over to my post at Helmar where I have posted more photos.

Happy Veteran's Day to our American Heroes
