Going Through the Woods...

Ahh, another Paper Pumpkin kit has arrived.

Manly Moments is this month, May 2018, kit.

It has components to make 10 cards with 10 envelopes.

 It is all set up for a masculine crowd...

but also includes an anniversary sentiment.

You Are My Anchor...

is the title of this month's Paper Pumpkin kit...

and down in this lower corner is a sneak peak at May's kit!

It's Vintagy...

March's Paper Pumpkin kit that is!

Not quite bright, Springy colors I thought would be used...

But it does have flowers!

I used the Happy Mother's Day stamp from the set
to get started on my Mother's day cards a little early!

February Paper Pumpkin Alternatives...

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription from Stampin' Up...

It is a great papercrafting kit that includes 

everything you need to complete the projects inside,

and it usually has left over items to use on other cards too!

These are some of the alternative cards I made using this month's,

February 2018, kit - Wildflower Wishes

Sharing the Hearts...

Valentine's day is all about hearts right?

Sometimes I'm not such a fan of hearts,

but when they are the theme of the January Paper Pumpkin kits, 

you kind of have to figure out what to do with them...

Bough Hung Stockings...

made with the 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit!

The Christmas decorating at our house is complete...

except our stockings have not yet been hung

by the fire with care...

yet!

I've been waiting to have time to make some stockings

with the Trim Your Stocking die set from the Holiday catalog...

Plus, once I knew that the Paper Pumpkin kit was also going to be stockings,

I wanted to be able to incorporate those into my stocking hanging plan too.

First Shaker Cards...

This blog post is WAY LATE this week!!! 

Not only did I miss Tuesday, but also Thursday!

On Monday, I received my October Paper Pumpkin - Yay!

And it is adorable!

So, I didn't get time to work on it until Tuesday evening...

and that's only partially why there was not blog post on Tuesday...

It's Fall, Y'all...

Okay, not really...

Since the Autumnal Equinox isn't for a couple more days, 

but the leaves are falling here!

I was also enjoying some Pumpkin Custard with Caramel topping,

and the girls are outside raking leaves...

so they can jump in them!

And we are going to have a fun time

with the September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit...

which features leaves!

Make it the Way You Like... (Paper Pumpkin Alternative)

Sorry that I am a day late on my 'Monday Blog Post'...

Things were quite busy, so I just didn't get everything all done yesterday.

But here it is, a Paper Pumpkin alternative for this month's (May 2017) kit.

A little pink :) but I was using colors I have that coordinated with the kit.

It will be great for ladies.

April Paper Pumpkin Alternative Idea...

Welcome to a new week!

Last Monday I shared an idea for different ways 

to use your April 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit, 

well, today I have another one!

The extra it uses that are not included

 in the Paper Pumpkin kit is a piece of white card, 

a piece of printed paper, and some coordinating ink.

I also did this one that is very similar to what the kit is,

 except I did only the Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry colors

 and added a strip of Melon Mambo cardstock (that's not included in the kit).

Here is the video showing how I put the green alternate card together.

I enjoyed working with this kit.

There were some refill kits available, but they sold out already!

It was very popular.

Do you like the thoughts of doing some paper crafting, 

but don't want to invest in a lot up front?

Why not sign up for Paper Pumpkin? 

You get everything you need right in the box for only $20! 

(And that includes the shipping!)

Sign-up by May 10th to get this month's box...

don't miss another month!

Thank you for coming to Create with Me today!

Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble;

incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily."
