Pie, Anyone?

Hey there!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I spent the weekend doing all things fall -- some fall cleaning, lots of decorating, pumpkin-picking, cider-drinking, cuddling under blankets, hiding from the rain... that sort of thing. I'm just trying to enjoy the season. It always seems to pass too quickly.

Today I'm here to share an MFT new release with you! :) It's Sweetie Pie Flopsey, and isn't he SWEET?!! :)



ACK! I think he might be my favorite Flopsey yet (but that could just be because I'm partial to pie!). The thing I like the best about him, though, is his little removable chef's hat! Darling!

I decided to use him to make a recipe card for a very yummy-sounding vegan pumpkin pie:



I'm not much of a fan of pre-processed food anymore. I don't really "do" processed soy-foods, like tofu and margarine. In fact, I have been working out of the same small container of Earth Balance since we went vegan over five months ago, and I haven't purchased a block of tofu yet. But I thought that for a special occasion (and especially an occasion where pie-- an old LOVE of mine-- was one of the main focuses), this pie sounded great. :) I can't wait to try it out next month!

I got the idea to make the recipe card from a good paper-crafting buddy of mine, Heidi. Heidi makes some amazing recipe cards! I haven't made any before, but I thought that Flopsey lent himself so well to this project, that I just had to go for it!

I colored Flops (Flopsey and I go way back, so I can call him that.) with Copics and added highlights with a white gel pen. Then I added a little dollop of whipped cream to his pie, courtesy of some white puffy paint that I allowed to dry before I heated it with a heat gun.

Supplies:
Stamps: Sweetie Pie Flopsey, by MFT
Papers: Orange Cardstock, Brown Cardstock, DP by Crate Paper and Scenic Route, MFT's Perfect Paper Panels
Inks: Memento Brown, Colorbox Taupe and Copper
Accessories: Pop Dots, White Puffy Paint, Computer-generated recipe, Copic Markers, White Gel Pen, Stampin' Up Tab Punch


Before I go, I thought I'd share some pics with you of what the Daumé house looks like decorated for fall! :)
















Have a great day and HAPPY FALL! :) Be sure to drop by tomorrow night to check out the rest of the MFT new releases during the blog hop! The fun starts at 10 pm EST at Kim's blog!
