Let Us Give Thanks Mother to Be!

EDITED:  I've added yet another version...check it out below!

I knew when this challenge came up, I had to find a "different" one to alter to cover two events or occasions.  We have a 2 for 1 challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites where we are to take one image and create two different themes.  If you came from Suzanne's blog, you are on the right trail and I'm sure she has shown you something extra-special.  If you came on your own, you can go to Suzanne's or to the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog to get the list and all the details how you can join in too!

The Tilda #245 Mother to Be stamp was rather fun to change from an expectant Mother congratulations card to a Thanksgiving card with Tilda carrying a pumpkin.  Did it make you giggle?  The thought of other than carrying a baby came about when I first colored the Mother to Be with a green dress and I was thinking watermelon!!!  Or maybe it is just me!!!  :)

I've used the pretty #245 Mother to Be image and colored her with Promarkers.  The dotted paper is Doodlebug which I embossed with a Tim Holz embossing folder and then sanded the embossing.   The word stamp is Hero arts and these are punched out with circle punches.  I've added some Spellbinder corners with some EK Success punched flowers and leaves.  Tilda has some pearl accents made from the Viva Pearl Pen.

Then I colored her again with the Promarkers and added some striped leggings and a long sleeve shirt!  In this neck of the woods, in most cases a short sleeve dress wouldn't be warm enough at Thanksgiving time.  I've added an Imagination verse for the banner, EK border punch on the edges of the Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I've tapped Versamark on the embossed part to make it stand out better and added some EK and Punch Bunch punched leaves for a fall look.  The little tendrils on the pumpkin are just wire that has been wrapped around a skewer for shaping.

ADDITION:
Had to try one more!

Tilda and Edwin are both good bowlers!!!!  I googled bowling pins and bowling score forms on the internet to come up with my background paper and the pins.  Tilda is colored with Promarkers and cut out and popped up with foam tape.
