Sorry folks.. forgot to take a photo, but I'll link up the tutorial I found on making the shabby pumpkins we made today at the make 'n take. Check out the tutorial here... by MsLiberty25.
Here's the basic instructions:
1. Cut 12x12 cardstock in half so you have 2 6"x 12" pieces. You can make 2 pumpkins with one sheet. You can also adjust the size of your pumpkin by cutting it to desired length.
2. Then cut the sheet into 5/8" strips. You should get about 19 strips.
3. Punch holes on each end of the strips.
3. Using long brads, stick all strips through the brad and secure by opening up the feet.
4. Fan out strips and select strip closest to the brad head. Starting with that strip, stick the other end of the strip through another brad. Select a strip on the opposite end. Then repeat, selecting strips on opposite ends.
5. Close up brad and decorate!
You can see pumpkin samples at the shop! Great for housing goodies like Halloween candy and other small gifts!

October Newsletter
ANNOUNCING!!!
ISLAND SCRAPBOOKING is turning 10!
and YOU ARE INVITED
Please Join us for our 10th Anniversary Sale!!!
Saturday October 19th 10 am - 2 pm
Can you believe it...? Island Scrapbooking is officially a whole decade old! We, at Island Scrapbooking, are very proud to announce our 10th Anniversary celebration this month. It seems just like yesterday that we opened our doors for the very first time. Way back in October of 2003, Kristin single handedly planned how to get Island Scrapbooking up and running. She got all the business licenses' and details figured out as well as picking vendors and ordering Island Scrapbooking's very first product. Michele, the supportive friend initially, came on board officially about 8 months in as full partner which allowed us to stay open till 5 pm. Kristin, who is dearly missed, relocated 6 years ago with her family to Oregon. Although no longer part of the business, Kristin remains a close sister-like friend and we talk often...at lease a couple times a week. Although she could not be here to celebrate with us, she sends her her love to you all and is also very excited for this important landmark for Island Scrapbooking!
We wish to express a heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of YOU! our loyal and valued Customers. For without you, we would not be where we are today. We plan to have a super fun-filled day of celebration for you on Saturday October 19th, 2013!!! Hope to see you there!
