Happening NOW!!

: Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Gifts Galore

Hello everyone and welcome to this evenings Paper Pumpkin Possibilities!  Oh my goodness do I ever LOVE this kit!  It makes really cute treat holders, gift bags and cards...there are so many great ideas out there!  I hope you'll hop along with us this evening and ENJOY the INSPIRATION!!

When I first saw them I thought of paper dolls!  Do you remember making your own? The pieces in this kit are the perfect size to play with so I decided to create paper toys for young kiddos.  I hope you like my creations!

To make the stands, I punched circles in coordinating colors.  

I cut them in half and cut small slits in the tops of the circles and bottoms of the snowman, tree and presents...sliding the slits into each other so the would stand up!

I also added stands to individually cut presents to make this fun scene!

I used two Paper Pumpkin boxes to easily create the snow background.

I don't have any grandchildren yet, but I think this will be a fun project for them to create and play with!  I'd LOVE to hear what you think...please share in the comments!

Thanks so much for stopping by tonight!

Good Morning everyone!  Welcome to my blog...thanks bunches for stopping by!  

Well...the Thanksgiving week is over.  My daughter is back at Trinity High and my adult sons and daughters are back to work!  Dan and I have the house all to ourselves and boy is it quiet!  We watched home videos with our kids that were home for the holiday and it was so much fun.  We laughed until we cried!  I forgot how chaotic life was with a bunch of little ones around!  In April, I'll be a first time grandma with lots more on the way, I'm sure!  I have so much to be thankful for!  

I'm also thankful for all of you who support my small business!  THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love what I do and I love that I get to share it here on my blog and other social media and in my classes!  I have made so many friends and truly love the time we get to spend together!  Again...I have much to be thankful for!

Now...on to today's "Make-It Monday" tutorial!  I have two to share today!  I hope they get your creative juices flowing!  I'm adding links to the tutorials as I've found it's much easier to download and print them.  Prior to this, I think you had to copy, paste and print!  I'd love your feedback!
