Last post for 2011!

Hi everyone!  Wow, it's almost the last day of 2011! 


Hopefully you have all had a wonderful year and can reflect on all the good things that have happened.  I just wanted to remind you one last time about the December kit for SPS (as if I haven't mentioned it enough time already).  Take a look at the projects below using supplies from the kit!

Times and Seasons Kit

(also includes detailed instructions to make each project!)

I also have one last quick card to share with you.  This one uses papers from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 Blush 6x6 paper pad.  The brad is from the "Beautiful Girl Brads" from the same collection.  The circle sentiment stamp is from the Whimsy Stamps Love Letter Seals set.  The edges were distressed a bit and the (messy) pearls were done using Ranger Liquid Pearls.

I hope everyone has a fantastic new year!!

You are my favorite

Hi folks!  Do you have all your holiday shopping done?  I hope so or else you'll be fighting the crowds during the last minute shopping madness :)

Today is another full reveal of an easel card that I created for the December "Times and Seasons" Kit of the Month which is Shop Pumpkin Spice now for only $24.95.  The kit also comes with an exclusive instructions sheet for all my projects in the kit.

All of the paper used on this card either came from the Echo Park Times and Seasons 12x12 Journaling Cards paper or the Times and Seasons 6x6 paper pad.  The little stickers are from the Times and Seasons Elements Stickers, brads are from the Happy Days Brad Assortment, and the seam ribbon can be bought as part of the Crinkle Ribbon pack.  I also used a Spellbinders Scalloped Circle die for the circle behind the sentiment. Again, all these supplies are all available in the "Times and Seasons" Kit along with detailed instructions.

All supplies can be found in the "Times and Seasons" Kit

Papers: Echo Park Times and Seasons Times and Seasons 6x6 paper pad and 12x12 Journaling Cards paper; Embellishments: Echo Park Times and Seasons Elements Stickers, Happy Days Brad Assortment, and Crinkle Ribbon pack; Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Love Letter Seals; Tools: Spellbinders Scalloped Circle die

May you have a wonderful holiday and see you again next week!

Everlasting Love

Wow, is it the 16th already?  Pretty soon we'll all be counting down the seconds to the new year!

Today I'm doing another full reveal of one of the creations from my December "Times and Seasons" Kit of the Month which is Shop Pumpkin Spice now for only $24.95.  The kit also comes with an exclusive instructions sheet for all my projects in the kit.

For this double pocket card, I cut out several journaling cards from the Echo Park Times and Seasons 12x12 Journaling Cards paper.  The little stickers are from the Times and Seasons Elements Stickers and I've also used various The Twinery Twines in this project.  Again, all these supplies are all available in the "Times and Seasons" Kit along with detailed instructions.

SPS December Blog Hop - Echo Park Christmas lines!

Welcome to Pumpkin Spice December blog hop!

If you've come here from Court's blog, then you're on the right track! If not, start at the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog to make sure you haven't missed a single inspiring creation.

Well, it's December already and that means the current DT's terms are ending.  BUT, we are ending with a bang!  This blog hop is our last blog hop together and we have decided to show off the gorgeous Echo Park Christmas line of papers and embellishments.  


We are also featuring my Kit of the Month creations using supplies mostly from the Echo Park Times and Seasons collection.  I just loved everything about this collection and it's so much more versatile than just for Christmas.  Actually, my kit doesn't have any Christmas-related creations in it at all - it has more of a celebration/Valentine/friendship theme to it.  Here's a snapshot of most of the projects.  There are two additional projects not pictured below, but to see the entire list of supplies, you'll have to head over to the Kit of the Month section at SPS!

Oh, and before I share some detailed photos of two of my kit creations, I have another important announcement: Shop Pumpkin Spice is having a DT call for 2012!  Do you want to be a part of a fun and exciting team with one of the best store owners out there?  Then stop by the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog to find all the details :)

Since I made an extra project for this kit, I can reveal two creations today!  First up is my favorite creation from the kit, which is a 3x3 notecard box with four 3x3 notecards.  Bumbling me forgot to take a picture of the fourth notecard, but you can still see it in the first photo :)  This set uses papers from the Times and Season's 6x6 paper pad and stickers from the Times and Season's Elements Stickers.  I used a lot of different Spellbinder Dies and twine to dress things up a bit.

The second project is a quick and simple bag using Times and Seasons 12x12 Trinkets paper and a sticker form the Times and Seasons Elements Stickers.  I also used Caribbean and Denim Baker’s Twine.

I just love all the bold colors and patterns in this collection :)  I know that you'll have just as much fun with it as I did!

Well, thanks for stopping by today!  Please head on over to theShop Pumpkin Spice blog to complete the hop!

Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone!

Wow can you believe it's December already? I sure can't!

Instead of holiday creation, I have another birthday card to share with you for my Shop Pumpkin Spice post today!  This one is a rather simple one again with some more clean lines.  I've really been loving working with kraft lately so here it is again :)

I've used papers from the delicious Bo Bunny Sweet Tooth 6x6 paper pad. If you don't have any kraft paper, you can also pick up it from Shop Pumpkin Spice here for a great price (as always).  I used a Spellbinders die from the Doily Hearts set, also available at Shop Pumpkin Spice.  The stamp is from the Birthday Letter Seals sentiments from Whimsy Stamps.

Stamp: Whimsy Stamps Birthday Letter Seals; Paper: Bo Bunny Sweet Tooth 6x6 paper pad; Tools: Spellbinders Doily Hearts Circles

Also, I had a couple of quick reminders for you!  

On December 3, a post will be going up with the final details of the design team call and a link for your entries.  On December 4, the current design team is having our last blog hop together so make sure to tune in for inspiration and a great prize from Shop Pumpkin Spice.

See you soon!
