Mistletoe and Holly ~ Paper Pumpkin for November

paper pumpkin logoWould you like a present every single month?  I might just have something just perfect for you……………………  a little magic in a box!

Stampin’ Up introduced Paper Pumpkin in March 2013 – it is a card crafting kit in a box, which contains everything you need to make the projects inside ~ you just need to supply adhesive and paper snips.

Each months’ project  is designed to take about 30 to maybe 45 mins, the projects range from cards, treats or home decor,  you never know what you will be getting – it is a surprise every month and I look forward to it arriving in my mail box.

Christmas Among the Branches ~ from Stampin’ Up!

This stamp set did not really appeal for me until I saw it when I was at the Stampin’ Up Inspire, Create, Share event in Salt Lake City back in July.

It has stamps that work for Halloween, Thanksgiving/Fall and Christmas – all three of the major holidays.  I have used this set a lot in my classes over the last couple of months and have been sharing them  with you over the last few days.

Stampin Getaway…….. part 2

Last week I shared some of the preparation and projects for the Stampin’ Getaway I hosted on October 3rd.  We had a great location – in the Community Room of one of the Fire Station’s in McKinney – we had lots of space to spread out, little kitchen area for lunch and snacks and with the exception of the monthly testing of the fire sirens – it was very quiet!

Mark your calendars……………. our next Getaway with be in May 2016.

Here are a few more pictures to share with you of our projects and the day…………

I’m Back…………………….

I have been conspicuous by my absence over the last couple of weeks, partly this is ‘life’ stepping in but mainly it was due to me preparing for the Stampin’ Getaway I hosted last Saturday.  Although I had done a lot of designing and prep work thru August and September, there was a bunch of stuff that could not be done until the last minute – that took some time!

Anyway, I want to share some of the experience with you…………..

Awesomely Artistic thank you…….


Have been a little bit quiet over the last few days, I had a Christmas/Holiday card Stamp Camp on Friday and Saturday – I spent most of Thursday preparing for it which included  tying a bunch of ribbon bows!…. and completely forgot to write something for my blog.
