August Paper Pumpkin

I am in LOVE with Stampin Up's Paper Pumpkin monthly kits.  So are my subscribers!!!

Every month I make them a free re-usable card.  Here is August's:

This was a CASE by See Julie Stamp! 

August also marks the 6 month mark for my gals who have subscribed from the beginning!  To thank them, I made them a stamp case:

I used Eastern Elegance paper.

And it fits all of our stamps that we've gotten so far!

Here is a video of August's kit!

Paper Pumpkin is so so so so sooooo much fun. I've been loving all the kits we've been getting. And I am seriously in love with all my exclusive stamps.  Because they come monthly, I feel like they have a hipper and fresher vibe that goes with the season or the month that we get it.  :) 

New Challenge at Lia Stampz - Summer

It's August 15th! Which means there's a new fortnightly challenge at Lia Stampz!  This fornight, we want to see your Summer projects!

Here is my project:

The image is called Gardening and can be bought at Whimsy Stamps here.   I inked it up with Copics and sponged the background with SU Pool Party ink.  I used the negative of some heart framelit die cuts and adhered some scrap SU paper to the back of it.  More scrap paper is lining the card.  Ribbon is SU (Pool Party) and the sentiment is stamped in Pool Party ink as well (can you tell its my favorite color of the moment?)

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

New Monthly Challenge at Scribbles Designs!

We've got a new challenge over at Scribbles Designs!  This month, we want to see your CAS cards! Here's my project:

We are sponsored by Bugaboo! I used a Bugaboo image call Mermaid (I loved this digi so much that I used her twice in a row! See my previous post).  The Happy Birthday sentiment is a Scribbles Designs image (I just LOVE the hand drawn fonts that Sandy creates!). I embossed the card base with the SU honeycomb folder and added a strip of ruffled ribbon. A backing to the sentiment completes the card.

You don't need a Scribbles image to play, but if you do use a Scribbles image, however, you can enter as many times as you wish.  Go here to play with us!

Wanna get the sentiment digi or any other of Scribble's designs? Check out the Scribbles Designs store! 

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

***On a personal note***

I'm finally moved in to my new home (okay, well, mostly moved in)!  I can't believe how much space I have here.  Definitely a big change of pace from my teeny, tiny apartment in Hawaii.  I also have a bunch of creatures living in my back yard... Lots of them I've never seen before! I've got squirrels, chipmunks, and all kinds of birds hanging out on a daily basis.  Love it!

And I also love that I'm near all the major craft stores! :) I went just yesterday! Maybe I'll have haul videos for you in the future. ;)

Can't wait to see what you all have been up to!
