Totally TURTLES

I love surprises! My Paper Pumpkin is my monthly surprise that I give myself. Every month my red box shows up in the mail and I can't wait to open it and see what's inside. May's kit didn't disappoint. I love the amazing designs, colors, embellishments, stamps, ink, envelopes and printed paper. I admit that a few of the past Paper Pumpkins left me wondering what was going on with this kit. It's suppose to be a showcase of Stampin' Up! products. A few of the past kits made me think they were running to a Big Box store for supplies. So I wrote to Stampin' Up! about my concerns and they listened.

Do you love ribbon? Then you will love this week's Deals! Stock up on your favorites because a lot of these are retiring! Another thing you should notice on the Weekly Deals is the MDS download for a recipe book. This is the one I've been looking at getting but didn't really want to spend close to $20 for it. Now it's only $10.77. Preserve your family recipes and print off copies of the book to give as Christmas Presents or at a family reunion. Check out www.mydigitalstudio.net  for more ideas on using the downloads Hurry! These items are while supplies last. Remember I have a drawing this month when you place a $25 order through me for a free set of Blendabilities. (a $11.95 value). Oh and tonight is my Supper club. I hope you can come. If not take a look at what you would learn to do:     Watercoloring like a pro. That's right. We will be learning to use aqua painters, markers, blender pens, ink pads, and Blendabilities.   Have a blessed day...

If you have signed up for Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! then you got the kit to make the journal.   Instead of a journal though I made a banner for Father's Day.     I die cut the letters from the chipboard cover and then embossed with Pool Party Embossing Powder. I also printed up a few pictures to add behind some of the thick stickers that come with the kit.   Make sure you sign up for Paper Pumpkin so you don't miss out on more fun projects using the monthly kits. Each month is different.   Thanks for looking.   By the way, just entered this project to a new blog I found that's all about Paper Pumpkin ideas. Check it out by clicking the image below.
