Paper Pumpkin Fun

Hey all. I just wanted to jump on and share what I got to play with yesterday. I haven't had much time or motivation to play with my crafty stuff lately. Do you sometimes get in a funk like that? I watch lots of videos on YouTube of others playing, but I'm just not motivated. It's a cycle for me I think.

Anyhow, this month's Paper Pumpkin was quite motivating! OMG. So much good stuff. This kit was designed to go with three suites in the new catalog (Garden Lane, Come Sail Away and Woven Threads) none of which I really wanted. But now I think I'm in love with Come Sail Away and need it lol. The sailing stuff in this kit really blew me away. And the paper that went with Woven Threads had me swooning too.

Y'all know I did not design these cards. I CASE almost everything I do. It's just easier and funner when I don't have to think about things :) I cased these cards from several people on the Paper Pumpkin Fan Page on Facebook (Molly Partin, Debbie Henderson, Carrie Ricksecker, and Dana Mclelland).

Aren't those sailboat images stunning? And the map paper, which is actually cut from the envelope liners, just really goes so well. I'm also loving the little anchors.

I love the Bird Ballad suite. I can't help it. And the birds in that paper went lovely with the papers provided in the Paper Pumpkin kit this month. 

I find the color combination and patterns in this paper so beautiful. Makes me kind of want to buy the Woven Threads paper now. And, I'll let you know a little secret. That cardstock is not the new Pretty Peacock that is in the papers. That is a retired color-- Dapper Denim (I think). I loved that paper and couldn't let it go. And it is so close that you really can't tell. 

Well, that's all I have for today. I hope you enjoyed it and find some inspiration to get you crafting a bit as well!

Please, if you don't have a demonstrator already, choose me as your demonstrator when you go to make a purchase on the Stampin' Up! website. My name is Chelle Scott, and I live in Utah :)

As always, thank you so much for stopping by. 

October 2017 Paper Pumpkin, I'm in Love

So yesterday I finally had a chance to pull out my October Paper Pumpkin kit, and I SO WISH that I had gotten more than one! This is by far the best kit I have ever received from Paper Pumpkin. In fact, over the last few months, I have really enjoyed my kits a lot more than usual. I can't wait for my November Paper Pumpkin now. It is designed to work with the one from October, so I'm super excited. It's too bad I didn't make this post before. Someone might have benefitted from it and been able to order the November kit at least. But the cutoff date was yesterday :(  However--I'm sure there will be more fabulous kits to come. So, if you order, please make sure to choose me (Michelle Scott) as your demonstrator when you order :)

Now, onto the fun--here are my pictures of the project made with my kit. I got all the supplies to make 5 of each style of these cards, plus more that I can use to make future cards! I'm really loving the stamp set in this kit. It's perfect. I'm sure I'll be using it on some holiday cards this year.

The projects were so perfectly designed that I didn't even feel the need to come up with an alternate use or design at all. I just loved what they were designed for. 

Stay tuned for more projects using the stamps in this kit and for the November Paper Pumpkin projects!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you found something interesting to inspire you here today.

Vacay!

I'm so excited. We leave for vacation in the morning. We go on a 9-day hunting/camping trip every year. We wives will be spending a lot of time in camp while the man folk are hunting critters. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me to catch up on some of my Paper Pumpkin kits that I never got to do!

This is the perfect thing to bring camping. The kits come with everything I need, including ink spots, adhesive... everything. My beginner kit came with a stamp block. So I don't need to have anything else with me. And I can catch up on my 100 Days Project too!

Welp--I'm gonna go finish up some packing. But, before I go, let me remind you that early registration for Fall Stampfest closes on October 1st. Get your tickets now to save $10! Your registration fee includes 8 projects, catered lunch, door prizes, samples galore, demonstrations and a fabulous time with friends! 

Thank you so much for stopping by. I'll catch up when we come back!
