![]() Such a clever sketch at this week's Create With Connie & Mary #343 - what a way to add drama! How perfect for our final Pumpkin Challenge of the month at My Pumpkin Challenge #0215 - Love is In the Air! For this week's sketch, I decided to browse back over some of my past pumpkins. After all, Pumpkin has always had a lot of love in it, right? After some tinkering, I matched up these elements for a cute and clean look, that still has movement going for it. I really like when I can make that happen! So, don't forget to share your love pumpkins with us - I can't wait to see! Paper Pumpkin - Filled With Love, Seriously, Pedal Praise & Hey, Man Sets; plus, Blushing Bride & Whisper White CS; Versamark & Real Red Inks; Gold Embossing Powder; Owl Builder Punch; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Pumpkin Club February 28!

![]() Love is still in the air over at My Pumpkin Challenge #0215! What shall we lovey up this week? Let's see if this gorgeous inspiration pic from Just Add Ink #250 brings anything to mind! OK, who am I kidding - of course I went straight for Perfect Blend, lol. Though I cleared most of my kit out for treats for my bug's friends, I have some pieces left for cards, just big enough for the fussy cutting that really makes this coffee cup shine! I feel a Starbuck's run coming on...

It almost feels like cheating to include this week's Su-per Challenge #75 to use hearts, lol, but oh well! AND, I'm going to try and squeeze in this week's Create With Connie & Mary #341, because well, you know, I'm a sketch-challenge addict. I already said that, remember? And look at that, this week's In{k}spire Me #184 is a Valentine's one - let's toss that in there, too, lol... Crazy!! NOW I understand how those brilliant gals do 5 challenges in one! I always wondered! I have to say up front - this one might just put me over the Valentine's edge, lol! All the elements are just so super sweet - I have a sugar headache! Luckily, I know just who to send this to - a dear, dear friend, that I can't wait to remind is SO loved... Off to the mailbox!

I'm going to make mine be green with this week's In{k}spire Me #183's color challenge - my sister's fave colors! Perfect! It was a lot of fun making a Valentine in "camo" colors, I'll admit. And I'll also admit I haven't exactly been a fan of these particular greens. Put them all together, though, and WOW! I really love how it came out! Some fun banner shapes, some twine and candy dots, and we are set for My Green Valentine! Kermit would be proud!

We're still getting ready over at My Pumpkin Challenge #0115 - and I really want to do some reminiscing for this one! So, I went diving into my Pumpkin bag - who knew I had so many cool odds and ends still in there?! I tried to triage by looking at color families first, and after much angst, this is where I landed. I shamelessly cannibalized EVERYTHING from so many kits. My only outside additions are the tiny Crushed Curry button on the flowers, created with one little flower framelit from the Flower Fair collection. In the end, I'm SO happy with this card! I loved these sentiments... It's so odd to realize how long I've been in the pumpkin patch - incredible! So show us your pumpkin babies! Let's see how ready you are! Paper Pumpkin Kits: Pinwheel Party, Jun 14; Glittered Greetings, Mar 14; In The Bag, Feb 14; Party Pennants, Jul 13; Hello To You, Jun 13; Seriously, Apr 13 & Hey There, Mar 13; Bermuda Bay & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Regals Button in Crushed Curry; Flower Fair Framelits. ![]() Pumpkin Club January 31!

I decided this week my pumpkin readiness needed a little "mojo," too, so I've paired up with Mojo Monday's #381 sketch! One of our unofficial goals with this month's Pumpkin Challenge is to also try to use some of any "remainders" we might have from past kits - anyone else fully stocked up on those, lol?? I might need to organize a grab bag giveaway for all of mine! Anyway, that made me go back for a quick browse of the "Pumpkin Scrap Bag," and I came out with some fun fun items that reminded me why I can't throw anything away! It also made it so that this card is stamping free - gasp! So let's see your little pumpkin soldiers lining up - are YOU ready? Paper Pumpkin Kits: All Shook Up (Dec 14), Glittered Greetings (Mar 14) & Real Life Journal (Dec 13); plus, Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding & Bermuda Bay CS; Circles Collection Framelits; Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. ![]() Pumpkin Club January 31!

This month, we're all about stocking up and getting ready for the new year, with MPC0115 - Get Ready! While I want to make sure and go back and use up some odds and ends from past kits for this month's challenge, I had to take this month's new kit out for a little spin, too, right? So I'm kicking off with this bright and cheery Hello, Friend card, featuring all the coordinating colors from this month's kit - Basic Gray, Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding & Bermuda Bay. Delicious! The background was a snap with our photopolymer stamps on hand, but as a tip, make sure you leave plenty of room around the edges on your block, so you can see ALL sides of you stamp clearly... Paper Pumpkin All Shook Up Stamp Set & Kit; plus, Strawberry Slush & Whisper White CS; Pistachio Pudding & Bermuda Bay Inks; Wide Oval Punch. ![]() Perpetual Birthday Calendar Kit Class! I'm so excited to announce our first class of the year - a super-fun version of the Perpetual Calendar Kit found on page 17 of your Occasions 2015 catalog!

I've added some simple goodies and tricks to make these kits shine even more, and you'll have lots of leftovers from the kit as well! Keep it for yourself, or box it up for a gift! A fun way to warm up for the year ahead!

RSVP now so I can make sure to have your kit waiting for you! ![]() Time for one last little blizzard at My Pumpkin Challenge #1214 - Brrr! It's Cold! Today I couldn't take my eye off some of the catchy remnants I still have sitting around in my kit. Can I use them in some pleasing way? Well, gang, yes I can! I almost feel like this card is even more cheating than usual - I did almost zippo to get to this, lol. I had to force myself to add a touch of background to the sentiment! Sigh. Like I really needed another reason to hang on to every little scrap of these kits... This hobby is SO bad for my hoarding tendencies. We'll be watching out for you over at the challenge! Show us your creations! Paper Pumpkin Simply Snowflake Kit; plus, Whisper White, Lost Lagoon & Soft Sky CS; Soft Sky Ink; Circle Card Thinlets (Sentiment Banner.) ![]() Whew - still feeling BRISK at My Pumpkin Challenge #1214 - Brr! It's Cold! OK, maybe not so much here in AZ - my pumpkin snowflakes are about the only ones we see around here, lol. In that spirit, I want to try something new - and combine with the festive color challenge at Create With Connie & Mary #334! I've been wanting to try this for a while, I have to admit. We all know I'm a big rebel Pumpkin fan, but it's hard for me to think outside of the basic palette of the kit sometimes. A color challenge seemed like the perfect vehicle! In the end, I'm pretty happy with how it came out - my jumble of snowflakes looks a little, well, jumbled, but I love how the glimmer sparkles through! So, dear ones, enjoy this day, and all the days after, too. Seek always to be His light in the world, and treasure His gifts. Peace to you, always. Paper Pumpkin Simply Snowflake kit; plus, Cherry Cobbler & Whisper White CS; Silver Glimmer Specialty CS; Cherry Cobbler Ink; Cherry Cobbler Blendie; Snowflake & Circle Card Thinlets; Corner Rounder Punch. ![]() Pumpkin Club December 27!

It's Cold again! One of my big things this holiday season has been making tag sets - oh, how I love them! We had so many cute stamps this year that really lent themselves to sets of gift tags. I always feel like tags are such a great gift - keeps that giving going! And is a great way to dress up the humblest token, too. So I was totally THRILLED that our Simply Snowflake Paper Pumpkin had such a large tag element - yes! So far, I have squeezed three sets of 8 out of those babies, by the simple choice of NOT layering them as shown in the kit directions. With the addition of a few more ink colors, and maybe other washi, the tag possibilities are endless! Sweet! Don't forget to share your chilly creations - inquiring pumpkins want to know what you are up to!
