Paper Pumpkin

I joined Paper Pumpkin (Stampin' Ups' monthly kit) so I could see what it is all about.  Here is the starter kit....looking forward to seeing what I get this month!  Follow along to see if you want to give it a try.  I am going to show you what Stampin' Up suggests and ways to change it up a bit!

This is the Stampin' Up card...

This kit came with enough product to make four cards.  It included two stamps...the sentiment and the grunge dots...buttons, stickers, pre-cut designer paper and cardstock.  I really like the colors!

Here is my version....I added some Candy Dots for dimension.  I also cut circles out of the centers of the starburst stickers to make them look like cogs.  I then used that center to add color in a couple of other spots by cutting it in half.  I tied a bow in the button and an extra piece of cardstock (as a mat) to brighten it up at bit.  I LOVE how it turned out!!



This month is a CRAZY month for me....birthdays, mothers day, all of the end of school activities...so I will probably post just two or three times a week.  Be sure to check back though...so you don't miss anything!!!

I leave you with this thought....

Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul!
