Jack 'em Up Pumpkin - The 2012 Model

Jack 'em Up Pumpkins 2011...

Last year, these pumpkins were...
as wedding consultant extraordinaire Monte Durham would say
 on Say Yes to the Dress - Atlanta,
..."jacked up" with whimsical stickers and cute ribbons!

{For more on that post, click HERE.}



But, life is ever-evolving,
so.........
 based on the colors, flowers, and pillows being used for my front porch this year,
I decided the new updated version of my Jacked Up Pumpkins 
would be ...not quite so whimsical...




Added a cursive monogram sticker in black,
found at Hobby Lobby...




Topped it off with a bow made of scraps from my craft closet...




Added a few "fabric leaves"...

{Have seen these on several blogs, and "borrowed" the idea! :)  Loved them!}




Opted to forego the dots, keeping it simple...




And the Jack'em Up Pumpkin
2012 Model
 is ready for the front porch.

Have the fabric, now I just have to finish the pillows! :)

pictures soon...

  5. Oh I remember your last year pumpkins! I loved them soooo much, that I saved them in my favorites to do for this year. And don't take it personally, but I forgot all about them, so I am so glad you did this post. Oh, I am still drooling over the last year ones :)

  15. I love the fabric embellishments. It's nice a monogram letter too. It makes the pumpkin seem more personal. I'm trying monogramming our family name this year. We'll see how it goes!
