Paper Pumpkin

Paper Pumpkin, a fully decked-out creativity carriage that comes to your door each month in a nice box, you'll love what you find inside: all the stamps, ink, paper and accessories to create paper projects. It's also a great way to acquaint yourself with Stampin Up. Visit: www.mypaperpumpkin.com for all the information and make sure when you sign up to choose me as your demonstrator. You're love Paper Pumpkin. Here are a few picture of the Card Kit I received at Leadership last month. It was really relaxing and fun to put together. 

Here is what you'll find when you open the box, everything you need to make 4 beautiful cards. The only think you will need is your favorite adhesive and a scissors.  They even included a Clear Block "D."

The card on the left is the card you can make when you follow the directions. The card on the right I flipped the design and created a different look.

I created two additional designs using a few of the items (butterflies) left over from the Journal Kit. I also stamped on the envelopes that were provided in the kits. It was so easy and simple and would fix into anyones busy schedule.

I also decorated the inside of one of the cards.

 Such an easy way to put a little joy into your life once a month. Treat yourself to a little down time relax and free your creative side.

Leadership 2013 Orlando

What a wonderful weekend I had in Orlando for Leadership 2013. It was extra special this year for me because two of my friends, Heather and Dawn part of the INKdefinable Team attended as well as my husband.



Heather, Me and Dawn



I thought I would share a few pictures from the swap boards and the events.

 This card used the new Delicate Lace Tape. It is a self adhesive tape that is a vinyl, so many possibilities. The large flower was made using the Creped Filter Paper another fun item you can color, punch and run through the big shot.

 Love the new Flower Trim, you actual get approximately 100 flower. They are so easy to color with re-inker or just sponge right from a ink pad. They are my new favorite thing. 

 This card they used the More Amore DSP paper, there are two sheet of heart doilies one in Real Red and Primrose Petals and the back of both sheet the hearts are white.

 This card really made good use of the Delicate Detailed Lace Tape. They also used the Heats a Fluter Bundle. I love the look of this card. You can also use the lace tape like a stencil and sponge on it and then remove the tape for another look, endless possiblities.

 The Fancy Favor box was decorated with some of the elements from the Artisan Embellishments Kit. Lots of lace, buttons and paper doilies in there to play around with. 

 Different uses for the Creped Filter Paper.

Love all the layers on this card.

 This Creped Filter Paper Carrot is so cute and so easy to make, they filled it with jelly beans for Easter.

 Ok I passed right over this Bundle on page 25 of the Spring Catalog. Now that I have seen it I have to have it. The boxes are the perfect size for a gift card and you can assemble a couple of boxes together to make a larger box. 

 Loved the butterfly and all the extras.

I will be casing the butterfly wand for my granddaughter Auden. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to pull out some paper and stamp sets and be creative. Happy Stampin!

Twenty-Four Amazing Years!

A funny thing happened today, well funny to me anyway! Headed off to work and talked to my husband after I arrived and then about an hour later he called and said, "Do you know what today is?" I said, "No what is today?" Our Anniversary! It struck me as funny since neither one of us really remembered what day it was.

Al just spend last weekend with me in Orlando at Leadership, he was so awesome and joined us for the open sessions and learned what a great company Stampin' Up! is. He is now more motivated then ever to help me grow my business.  I am looking forward to an amazing year in my Stampin' Up! business and on a personal level. I'm very blessed to have Alan in my life as my partner and friend.

 "Happy Anniversary Alan,  I'm looking forward to the next 24 years."
