Did You Say Pumpkin Stacker Countdown?

Yes, my friends, I took the Pumpkin Stacker and turned it into a Baby Keepsake Stacker!

I had so much fun making this project. I really didn't know for sure if it would work out, but after looking through my stash, I found some packs of paper I bought years ago, and it was perfect!!

This really takes time and you need to be patient to put all the pieces together.  It takes quite a lot of paper, so be prepared to buy a whole pack of the color you want - (at least 25 pieces) you don't want to run out in the middle of the project.  

The time and effort I put into this project was well worth it because I know it will last for years to come.  For complete details on how to put it together, go here:  3D Pumpkin Stacker

To make it more girly, I added Prima flowers, and different color of buttons to go along with the colors of "knobs" for the drawers.

Thanks for visiting today, and happy crafting!

Introducing I-Team Member Cyndy Gustashaw

Hello everyone!  My name is Cyndy Gustashaw.  I am new to the SVG Attic I-team.  I hope I am able to inspire you with my personal touches using SVG Attic files and hope you will enjoy using them as much as I do.  My personal blog is Cyndy G - Time Made For Me please stop by sometime!

I have been married to my husband for ten years this May!  He is a wonderful man who puts up with my crafts/hobbies and even encourages them.  He hopes that I can find a way to make BIG money so he can retire, lol.  Together we have three beautiful children, in addition to my two girls, that makes five children.  My father-in-law lives with us and my Mom retired when we had our second child and left her home in Southern California to move to North Carolina to be a full-time Grandmother and nanny.  I'm so glad she did, the kids adore her.

Here is a little bit more about myself...

I was born in Virginia and raised in Southern California (I still refer to it as home).  I moved to North Carolina when I was twenty and have lived here ever since (longer than I care to admit).

I love photography and scrapbooking which evolved into paper crafting.  I started scrapbooking about 15 years ago, just as it was becoming the "new" thing to do.  My mom and sister introduced me to it when I had traveled home for my sister's graduation and wedding.  I like simple clean lines, less is more for me.

I have lots of favorite projects.  I put a little piece of me in everything I create so it is all special.  For my introduction I have chosen the Pumpkin Stacker.  I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and for once I knew exactly what paper I was going to use!

I used Graphic 45, An Eerie Tale for this project.  
I absolutely love this paper stack!

I reduced the size of this project to 75%.  It is still a sizable project the pumpkin stands almost 7" tall and the base is just over 6".  I almost always shrink my projects.  At first it was to conserve paper but everyone in my family loved the smaller sizes so now it is a preference.

I love the cute little stem.  My daughter even commented on how real it looks.  Thank you for visiting my blog post today, I look forward to sharing with you and would love for you to share your projects with us!

The set I used on this project is:
