![]() Oh my gosh, this month's Paper Pumpkin kit has the cutest sentiments in it - who doesn't need a little Wahoo! in their lives?? In honor of that, My Pumpkin Challenge #1013 had TWO options - owls and texture! It was hard not to think of owls when we saw that phrase, lol. Now, I don't have much "owl stuff," but I do have the punch, so here's my crack at an "owl" card - can't wait to bring out the textures next rounds! Hope you can join us - looking forward to YOUR creations! September 2013 Paper Pumpkin-Wahoo; plus, Gorgeous Grunge stamp set; Whisper White, Midnight Muse, Old Olive & Cajun Craze CS; Old Olive & Cajun Craze inks; Owl Builder punch. ![]() Whew - I can just squeeze in one last Pumpkin Challenge - especially if I combine it with Paper Craft Crew's #60! Clearly, I am rebelling against the circles suggested in PCC - but how 'bout some banners instead? Hope this still qualifies, lol... My Pumpkin Challenge #913 - Shapes is still going on for just a few more days, and you have a week for Paper Craft Crew - what can you come up with? My Paper Pumpkin kits - August 2013 Pedal Praise & May 2013 Good Life; plus, Whisper White CS & Calypso Coral ink. ![]() Is it Wednesday again already?? That means it's Pumpkin Day - yay! So, we're still working our My Pumpkin Challenge #913 - "Shapes", and I really wanted to bring my hexagon punch into play. Mm, honey, yummy! Sorry, I just felt like the yellows color scheme really belongs with the hexagons, and if you use yellows, well, you kinda have to throw in the black accents, right? Fun stuff! Make sure you join in the fun at My Pumpkin Challenge - can't wait to see what YOU come up with! August 2013 Paper Pumpkin - Pedal Praise; plus, Crushed Curry, So Saffron & Whisper White CS; Summer Starfruit, Crushed Curry & Daffodil Delight inks; Honeycomb embossing folder; Hexagon punch; Neutrals Candy Dots. ![]() OK, did anyone else have the Berenstains' B Book when they were little?? The whole time I was making today's card for My Pumpkin Challenge's #913 "Shapes", I was singing in my head: "Big Brown Bear, Blue Bull, Beautiful Baboon blowing bubbles, biking backwards, BUMP!" Good times... Make sure to check out the team's other exciting creations, and play along yourselves, too! August 2013 Paper Pumpkin - Pedal Praise; plus, Marina Mist, Whisper White, Soft Sky, Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay CS; Basic Black & Marina Mist inks; 7/8" Square Punch; Neutrals Candy Dots. ![]() Can you tell what my shape inspiration is for this week's My Pumpkin Challenge #913 - "Shapes?" Woo - triangles!! When I saw all those little Rose Red triangles in this month's kit, all I could think of was a stream of pennants on a sailboat line - crisp and breezy, baby! I ended up using my dressmaker's curve to help get the sail shape, it came together in a snap. I've always wanted to learn how to sail, but this might be as close as I get, lol! August 2013 Paper Pumpkin - Pedal Praise; plus, Soft Sky, Early Espresso & Whisper White CS; Island Indigo & Soft Sky inks; Island Indigo Baker's Twine (from the Tag A Bag kit!); YNS Puffy Cloud die set (shh...); Corner Rounder Punch. ![]() Looky, looky! Another chance to combine two sketch challenges at once! This week's combo is a union of Sunday Stamps #57, a color challenge, and Freshly Made Sketches #101! I seem to have Pumpkin on the brain still, too, but I couldn't help it - the banner from Pedal Praise goes in the right direction for this card, so it's totally not my fault! I HAD to use it! A little more black and vanilla with little splashes of color, but still, these sketches go great together, I think! (Yes, I did break down and put the little bike inside, too! Don't look, Jesse!) Pedal Praise stamp set; Basic Black, Very Vanilla & Melon Mambo CS; Modern Medley DSP; Cherry Cobbler ink; Very Vintage Designer Buttons; Black Perle Cotton thread; Pretty Print embossing folder; Neutrals Candy Dots; 1" Square Punch for "flagging" the banners. ![]() What a fine Pumpkin day, when I get to finally "roll out" (yuk, yuk) my latest Paper Pumpkin kit - Pedal Praise. I have been regretting not getting that SAB set that had the pennyfarthing cycle in it for a while now, but now I'm all recovered, because I have the cute little 10-speed from Pedal Praise! So, for this month's Pumpkin Challenge #913, we're all about shapes - perfect for this month's kit! I'm starting slow with a circles thing going on, but added some major color splashes while I was at it, no pumpkin should ever be without a snazzy wardrobe! August 2013 Paper Pumpkin kit - Pedal Praise; plus, Rose Red, Whisper White & Pear Pizzazz CS; Afternoon Picnic DSP; 2 1/4", 2", 1 3/8", 7/8", 5/8" & Bitty Circle punches; Corner Rounder punch; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Time for my last August "All Goes" challenge inspiration at My Pumpkin Challenge! I have to tell you - there are some "seriously" awesome projects this month! Have no fear of the pumpkin - we are bringing you the hip and out-of-the-box creative, all in one pumpkin patch! Amazing! For my final August offering, I unearthed an old set of "love note" blanks and envelopes - I think they were in a grab bag of goodies I got a few years back, giggle! I think of Love Notes as something like the size that comes in your flower delivery - remember those? Handy little notes to give with a quick gift - I have them all bagged and ready to go! Paper Pumpkin Kits used: Hey There, Good Life, Hello To You & Party Pennants; plus, Sycamore Street 1/4" Satin Ribbon (2013 SAB); Basic Jewel Rhinestones; Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Summer Starfruit & Pool Party inks; Small Heart punch. So, here are our bonus class projects - another reversible clothespin wreath! We'll be doing one for Halloween - "Spooky" and one for Thanksgiving - "Thankful." All materials prepped and ready for you, and as an added bonus, we'll be using some of the Paper Pumpkin background stamps as well - perfect, right?? These are also shown at My Pumpkin Challenge, of course - woo hoo! Make sure to RSVP for Thursday, Aug 29 at 6:30 pm for evening, or Friday, August 30 at 930 am for the day class. Can't wait to see you all! PS. I had to show you his hilarious commercial we got to see at Convention - from the commercial contest! This one was 4th place, but it was MY favorite! Yay, pumpkins! Don't forget - there's still a special going for $10 for the first two months if you subscribe by Aug 31 - contact me with any questions! |
