I finally got my camera back from my hubby. He needed it to take pictures of a house he is listing in Fairhope. I knew he might need it and should have downloaded my pictures before he took it but I'm really not that organized to plan ahead. So I was finally able to download the pictures of my messy desk and then of the card I made using the scraps on the counter. Here's the mess: I have been using the paper that came in the Add On Kit on page 30 of the mini catalog. I love these! The Gold paper is from this kit. It's so pretty and shiny! I keep trying to figure out ways of using it on cards. So I took a few different punches and layers a bunch of shapes and colors. I also needed to use the prints pack from the mini. I love this paper and it's great for Valentine's Day. Here's the card I made: I also stamped in Whisper White. I just bought some reinker for it and made sure it was good and juicy for stamping with. That's it for today. I ma...

I know you all are just dying to see what I made so here it is. Supplies Used: Bermuda Bay cardstock, Crumb Cake Cardstock, glimmer silver paper, News Print Paper (retired), Early Espresso Co'ordination paper (sanded), Very Vanilla cardstock, Bermuda Bay Ink, Early Espresso Ink, Very Vanilla crochet ribbon, Thinlits die, Postage Due Stamp Set, Banner Blast Stamp Set, Postage Stamp Punch, Banner Punch. Yes all of these things were out and on my crafting tables. I even sponged the edges with Early Espresso Ink because I had a sponge sitting there. I should show you a picture of my desk clean now right? LOL. Hope you enjoyed this post. Leave me a comment if you would like to see this as a weekly post. 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.    

I've been busy making some of the paper ornaments to sell at a Craft Fair coming up. What do you think of this one? I also made this one for my favorite SEC team. Following the layout of a card I liked in a magazine I decided to make this card. My husband thinks it's not Christmasy enough. What do you think? I like it. I think sometimes we all get stuck on red and green for Christmas but really we can do whatever colors we like. I like these colors. Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze (my daughter said, "ba ja") and Whisper White. Easy. Okay, that's it for today. Talk to you soon. Jackie
