Non-Traditional Jack'o Lantern

Every year I'm torn between doing a super fun traditional Jack'o Lantern and doing a pretty non-traditional design. Last year the non-traditional design won. Here is a picture of last year's pumpkins. I love the white one, but I haven't seen them this year.

I decided to go non traditional again.  But, before I get into the carving part I have to first put a little spotlight on the knife I used.  A few years back I bought a pumpkin carving knife from The Pampered Chef and I gotta tell yah....ITS AWESOME!!!!

 I think it's now advertised as the "My Safe Cutter". It's inexpensive, sturdy, not sharp, and cuts the pumpkin with ease, I even cut off the top using this knife.  I love it!!! Anyways......On to carving.

After I cleaned out the pumpkin and set my seeds aside I used a regular ball point pen to draw on my design.  It writes on the pumpkin pretty well and wipes of easy. 


So after drawing and cutting all the way around here is how it turned out.
