![]() I don't know what got into me for my Pumpkin Card this week, but when I started thinking about our My Pumpkin Challenge #0314 - Circles & Bags, I just got totally fixated on wanting to do an easel card, lol... THEN, I couldn't decide what color to do! But of course, when you're making a Paper Pumpkin project, and stuck for color, of COURSE you go for Pumpkin Pie, right?? So, this ended up being a fairly simple card, with a fairly plain inside, so I can leave room for a note to my dear friend Laura. Hopefully this will brighten her day! Tip: To achieve a closer circle match, I traced around the same framelit I used to cut the center in pencil. I used the distressing tool to cover up snip lines after I hand-cut! Card fits perfectly in our 5 1/2" Square Envelopes... Paper Pumpkin - Hey There & In The Bag Stamp Sets; Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, So Saffron & Whisper White CS; Pumpkin Pie, Versamark & Early Espresso Inks; Circles Collection Framelits; Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder; 7/8" Scallop Circle, & Itty Bitty Punches; Brights & Neutrals Candy Dots in Pumpkin Pie & Early Espresso.

![]() So, have you seen the new Paper Pumpkin kit In The Bag? So cute! It inspired this month's new theme at My Pumpkin Challenge #0314 - Fun With Circles & Bags! Now the timing for me is pretty awesome - I'm off next week to my sister's wedding, and I need a gift bag! So, I went pretty simple with this one, and only dressed up the stamp colors a bit... This sturdy bag will be perfect for the plane ride home she'll be facing, especially when she sees how well-stocked with goodies it is! Can't wait to see you run "circles" around me! Paper Pumpkin - In The Bag; Tangerine Tango & Smoky Slate Inks. ![]() You know what we love over at My Pumpkin Challenge #214? Bringing the love pumpkin-style! For this week's final Love Pumpkin, I wanted to play with the card folded how it's shown in the kit - with the natural on the outside, and the color peeking through the cutouts. But hm, you know what a color junkie I am - I then proceeded to cover it all up, lol! I decided to play with all the hexagon shapes - it's so cool how you can fit them all together no matter what size - the angles are all the same! Fun! I snuck in just a tiny bit of twine from the Memo Medley kit, but otherwise - this is all Love Note! And the only stamping is on the envelope - that always wigs me out... I'll spend the rest of the morning thinking I've forgotten something, now! Paper Pumpkin-Love Note & Memo Medley; Summer Starfruit & Calypso Coral inks (on the envelope); Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Don't forget, the call is barely still open for our Burlap & Blooms Wreath Class, on Thursday, February 27th, 630 pm! All materials and kits provided for you for $20, but you'll want to bring a bone folder and your hot glue gun for sure, if you have one. RSVP NOW to let me know you are coming, so I can make sure to have your kit waiting! And of course, let me know if you prefer a daytime class, and we will set it up! ![]() Love's still brewing over at My Pumpkin Challenge #214! I decided this week to see what I could combine with some of my Sale-A-Bration goodies - match made in Stampin' Heaven! It's so fun to play with all the little leftover pieces I've been accumulating from my Pumpkin kits - so many colors and pieces coordinate with each other, it's pretty amazing! I've decided that what I thought was a weird orange color on that twine from the Memo Medley kit might actually be Calypso Coral - my whole attitude towards that string has now changed, lol! So, have you shared your Pumpkin Love with us yet? Paper Pumpkin-Love Notes, Real Life Journal, Memo Medley, Good Life Brag Book, Hello To You; plus, Banner Blast Stamp Set; Whisper White & Coastal Cabana CS; Coastal Cabana, So Saffron, Calypso Coral & Pear Pizzazz inks; Decorative Dots Embossing Folder; Banner Punch. ![]() Don't forget, the call is open for our Burlap & Blooms Wreath Class, on Thursday, February 27th, 630 pm!

For this week, I wanted to add more outside elements, and pick up past Pumpkins, too! I still go back to the "seriously" phrase - it can go with almost anything! I also decided to play with the kit ingredients a bit more as well - I love to cut up the cardstock they give us to use in different layers - this month's was VERY substantial - I'm actually slightly worried about it coming away from the card base - green glue rules! I was also a sponging monkey today, too - got a new pack of the sponge daubers, and totally had to break them in, lol... So is there love in your Pumpkin Patch? Show us! Paper Pumpkin-Love Notes & Seriously; plus, Coastal Cabana & Crumb Cake CS; Basic Black & Calypso Coral Inks; Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit; Word Bubbles Framelits; Small Heart & Corner Rounder Punches; Large Paper Doily Sizzlet. ![]() I'm so happy we're bringing the love this month at My Pumpkin Challenge #214! The January kit - Love Notes - makes it super easy, of course! It also so happens that the Pumpkin Fairies have hit on a color combo that I'm really grooving on these days - Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral & Summer Starfruit - yummy! So I played with all the tasty little pieces to make a sweet snack of a card...can you tell I missed lunch today, lol? I had to take this picture on my little card stand, so you could see the sparklies on the inside of the little triangles... So, show us your pumpkin love! Paper Pumpkin-Love Notes; plus, Calypso Coral & Whisper White CS; Pool Party Embossing Powder; Expressions Thinlets Dies; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Time for one last installment of Real Life for this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #114 - You & Me! For this round, I thought I'd sneak in a card to go with the mini scrap-book I'm working on for my sweetie - super simple, super fast, super fun and super "You & Me!" It's always weird to me when I don't actually stamp anything... There's still time for you to play with us at My Pumpkin Challenge - whatcha' got?? Paper Pumpkin Real Life Journal & Good Life Brag Book; plus, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie & Whisper White CS; Small Heart Punch; Ampersand Embossing Folder; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() I have to say, it's a good thing the journal I'm working on is called "Real Life," because that's what I'm showcasing in my latest layout for this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #114 - You & Me! This was hubby's major "Honey Do" weekend - and he rose to the challenge! From trimming the toenails of three squirmy dogs (2 chocolate labs and a weimaraner) to a major cat-box overhaul (yikes!) to putting away our 12 foot with extra lights Christmas tree, the fun just hasn't stopped around here! He even went to IKEA and got me some more shelves for my office make-over (but really only because it's right by our favorite salsa vendor, but STILL!) He must love us all SO much! Paper Pumpkin-Real Life Journal; plus, Totally Tool (retired) & Designer Typeset Photopolymer stamp sets; Basic Black, Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie & Strawberry Slush inks; Strawberry Slush Coastal Cabana & Summer Starfruit CS; Owl Builder Punch (for the tiny heart!) ![]() Don't forget - last chance to RSVP for the first stamp class of the year - our Flip Calendar Class will be Thursday, Jan 23, 630 pm, chez Heroldt, with snacks and cheer! Hope to see you there! ![]() Hoop-de-doo, here I am with installment 2 of this month's My Pumpkin Challenge - "You & Me!" I'm sticking to my scrapbook resolution, but I totally still feel like I'm flying without a net here - thank goodness I have so many folks rooting for me and telling me I can do whatever I want in a scrapbook! Today's pages immortalize a truly beautiful day in the life of Hea & Hubby - with lunch, even! Here's the story - Todd's golf partner cancelled on him for the day, and instead of going anyway and just picking up with another group, he took me downtown to see an exhibit I had mentioned earlier I wished I could see at the Phoenix Art Museum - a three-days-only showing of the 2014 Ikebana of Arizona Society!! That's right folks - my sweetheart gave up a day of golf to take his wife to "some weird flower show," and added a yum-mo and swanky lunch at the museum cafe after! What a fun morning! He even sprang for a museum membership, making me wonder if I might get more lunch dates out of this! Paper Pumpkin-Real Life Journal; plus, Summer Starfruit, Basic Gray & Strawberry Slush inks; Whisper White & Coastal Cabana CS; 3/4" Oval Punch; On Film Framelits Dies. ![]() Ahh, I love the sight of Pumpkin in the New Year! Jess is kicking us off with a faBOO theme challenge, too - My Pumpkin Challenge #114 - "You & Me," however you want to show it! This is the perfect time for me to try my hand at some light scrap-booking, NOT something I'm famous for, for sure. However, it's pretty hard to resist with the seriously cute Real Life Journal that came for the December kit! With this You & Me theme, I figure I can use this month to make a sweet little book about us for hubby, just in time for Valentine's Day! Hope you'll follow along with me - I'm pretty nervous to try this! I'm opening with the cover, of course - future entries will show a couple pages at a time! So, what are you and YOUR Pumpkin up to this year?? Paper Pumpkin-Real Life Journal; plus, Perfect Pennants stamp set; Banners framelits; Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Strawberry Slush, Pumpkin Pie & Summer Starfruit CS; Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush & Versamark inks; Pool Party Embossing Powder; Summer Starfruit Satin Stitched Ribbon; Coastal Cabana & Strawberry Slush Stretch Ruffle Trim; Owl Builder Punch (for the tiny hearts!) |
