![]() I'm so glad we're back again at My Pumpkin Challenge #0715 - Share a Smile - we definitely need more of those in the world today! Today I decided to go digging through my Pumpkin Stash, and do some housecleaning, lol. I have made up a BIG grab bag of Pumpkin Guts for my scrap bag stack - it was so nostalgic looking over all my bits and bobs! My leavings were starting to take over - time for retirement, lol! While I hunted through all the goodies, I pulled out a couple items I thought I'd use today - hard to go wrong with this sentiment sheet from our Seriously Amazing Kit, floated over a scrap from a cannibalized bag from Birthday Bundle. I think I did one tiny bit for the clean team today, lol... Can't wait to see YOUR smiles over at the challenge - see you there! Seriously Amazing, Birthday Bundle & Happy Thoughts Paper Pumpkins; plus, Memento Tuxedo Black, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight & Calypso Coral Inks; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Christmas in July Class! It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yay! OK, can you tell how excited I am that we got Christmas back in the "Big Book?" The very best thing this means is that we get to bring back our Christmas in July class - your chance to start thinking about your Christmas cards! Check out our little sneak peak! Class is announced for Thursday, July 9, at 6:30 pm, and Saturday, July 11 at 3 pm. Class will feature 6 cards for $25, and includes all your supplies, snacks and drinks, and a party favor from me!

![]() Once again, I can't believe this month has flown by! Time for one last round of My Pumpkin Challenge #0615 - Birthday Bash, at least! For my final Birthday Bash card, I decided I wanted to return to our current kit. So many beautiful bold colors! And I haven't played with the gift bag yet - what?! How about I chop one up, lol... I decided to try and do something with that fun balloon cut-out, but mounted on a card. I think I pulled it off! I even snuck in some of the pretty cord that we have for bag handles - I was worried it would be too heavy for a card front, but strategic placement of glue dots let me use a scrap without bulky up my layers - yay! So, how's YOUR bashing going? Can't wait to see! Birthday Bundle Paper Pumpkin; plus, Whisper White CS; Cherry on Top DSP Stack; Calypso Coral Ink; Lucky Stars Embossing Folder; Banner Punch (for flagging the sentiment, since I used up all the banners from the kit already, lol.) ![]() Pumpkin Club June 27!

Let's see if I can bash it up with this week's Create With Connie & Mary #359, too! So, digging back through some past kits I have still, I came across my leavings from the Hey, Man" kit, from May 2014. The elements I still had seemed perfect for this sketch, I have to say. So here we are, with a simple and manly birthday card - yay! See you at the Challenge! Hey, Man & Birthday Bundle Paper Pumpkins; plus, Soft Suede, Marina Mist & Wild Wasabi Inks; Very Vanilla & Soft Suede CS; 2 1/2" Circle & Banner Punches; Circles Collection Framelits. ![]() Independence Day Decor Class!

RSVP today, so I can make sure to be ready for you! ![]() I totally love Cathy's extra idea for our challenge at this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #0614 - Birthday Bash - to bash our Pumpkin stash! I have Pumpkin Guts all over, too, so here goes! I think I have an idea for sneaking in the TGIF Challenge #6 to use watercolor, too, shhh... I have a shocking amount of leftovers from the All Shook Up kit, especially when you consider how stinkin' cute that one was! I sort of feel like I took a cheater approach here, too - all I did was bring in a sheet of watercolor paper, so I could do a multi-color wash background under my adhesive sentiment. Still, I think it's striking! I added a few sequin details from the original kit, and also pulled in some pink ones from the Seriously Amazing kiit. It was horrifying to also realize that two of these colors are retired, now - wah! All Shook Up & Seriously Amazing Paper Pumpkin Kits; plus, Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush (retired) & Pistachio Pudding (retired) Inks; Watercolor Paper; PL Corner Rounder Punch. ![]() Independence Day Decor Class!

Today I think I'll try to match up with In{k}spire Me #200's awesome "sigma" inspiration - happy 200th birthday to them! This wound up being a pretty straight-forward interpretation of the sketch, using elements directly out of the kit! I always like to play up the full range of the colors the kits highlight, too. I SO can't wait to get my "Updated Essentials" piercing pack - hopefully I'll have circle templates that match the framelits now! I hope you'll join our Bash this month - let's see what you got going on! Paper Pumpkin - Birthday Bundle; plus, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo & Whisper White CS; Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral & Daffodil Inks; Circles Collection Framelits; PL Corner Rounder Punch; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() I can not BELIEVE this whole Pumpkin month has flown by so fast! Where did it go?? Sigh, time for our last installment of My Pumpkin Challenge #0515 - Let's Hear It For the Bows! For today's project, I decided to whip up a quick little gift box for the goodie I brought back for my neighbor kid - who fed the dogs and let them out when we were gone for that 13 inning game between the Diamondbacks and the Cubs last Friday! What a game! I yawned all the way through the last inning, I think - WAY past my bedtime! Anyway, I think he's young enough to not mind the bow, but old enough to like "Dude" stamped all over, lol... Paper Pumpkin - Love You A Lot; plus, Versamark Ink; Tiny Treat Box; Note Tag Punch. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 30! Did you get your May Pumpkin kit yet? Up, up and away!! Check out the video here!

Today I had a floral feeling, and I just wanted to play with the little bow diecuts - what could we do there? I ended up assembling three together for this flower! I gave it a nice big button center, and trotted out some of the other stamps from the kit for a few extra details. Simple, quick and cheery - the best of all worlds! I can't wait to see more of YOUR bow projects at the challenge - Let's Hear It For the Bows!

I can't wait to add the color challenge at Just Add Ink #262 - my fave color combo ever! So, in spite of having all that going for me, I had a bit of a breakdown on this one, I think. My new Sprinkles of Life stamp set was working its siren wiles on me, and I started out nice and pared down. Then I tried out going all askew on my little squares, because Bonnie Farley from our mother-ship said that catty-wompus is all the rage right now, and I wanted to see if I could be hip and trendy, lol. So far, so good, maybe, but then there was all this white space, and I just PANICKED. Sorry about that - usually I can keep that under wraps, but it got away from me today, lol. So we have little leaves, and little flowers. In two colors. And little pearls. And then the corner rounder. Thankfully, Bug got home from school and intervened at this point. Woops! Over-Embellish-Itis strikes again! Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set; Cherry on Top, Best Year Ever (SAB 2015), All Is Calm (retired) & Manchester (retired) DSP; Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral & Whisper White CS; Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Calypso Coral & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Tree Builder & Corner Rounder Punches; 1/4" Cotton Ribbon in Pear Pizzazz; Basic Jewel Pearls. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 30!

OK, so I think I've been a very good little demo lately. I have been reminding you almost daily of all the retiring awesomeness that might get away from you if don't act fast, in a fun, gotta-have-it-now kind of way. Don't you think? No pressure or anything, even. Well, folks, not today! I have succumbed. My sneak peek pre-order from our new 2015-16 catalog is IN THE HOUSE!! So, you know, we have to trot that out. Very quietly. In just a tiny way. Hee hee. So I did another little pocket card showing off just a few things, like our new In Colors (so yummy!), a new DSP stack (now in 6" x 6"!); a stamp set (not EVEN the best sentiment in this set!) and finally, our new In Color Dotted Lace Trim (so soft!) I honestly think I haven't been this excited about a new catalog in a while - not that I'm not always excited, lol, but SO MUCH in this catty spoke to me - I know it will to you, too. And the only other thing I can say is CHRISTMAS IS BACK!!! Praise the Lord and pass the ink! Love You A Lot Paper Pumpkin; plus, Friendly Wishes Stamp Set; Cherry on Top DSP Stack; Whisper White & Watermelon Wonder CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon & Mint Macaron Inks; Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!

RSVP now to make sure I have your materials ready and waiting! ![]() I'm so excited to introduce this month's Pumpkin Challenge - #0515 - Let's Hear It For The Bows! I got to pick this one, and it really fell into place when I saw our latest kit, "Love you A Lot!" Eee! For some reason when I was getting started today, I totally went into a Pumpkin Nostalgia Moment. I think it's because I label all my sets with the names and release dates showing, and I happened to see, April 2013 was the hilarious "Seriously" kit! And seriously, it's a perfect match for THIS set, IMHO! Since I was going all nostalgia, I pulled out my old Many Mustaches single, too - just narrow enough to fit on the little white card layer that comes with Love You A Lot. Yee-Haw came in next because of the mustachios, lol. Sometimes my mind just goes in strange directions, what can I say? Make sure you link your awesome creations over at My Pumpkin Challenge #0515 - with bows on! Paper Pumpkin - Love You A Lot; plus, Seriously (Paper Pumpkin April 2013), Many Mustaches (retired) & Yee-Haw Stamp Sets; Crushed Curry CS; Smoky Slate Ink; Brights Candy Dots in Pacific Point; Lucky Stars Embossing Folder. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!
