Birthday Wishes


Hi everyone! Ann here :)

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 padToolsSpellbinders 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!

Holly Jolly Pickup Sticks!

Hello Friends, Thanks you so much for taking the time to check out my posting today.  I hope you got a 'smile' out of something you saw or got some inspiration to go do something crafty. 

Happy Tuesday everyone! It's Lenae here from SugarGem with your Tuesday inspiration!
Todays project was inspired by something completely practical! I bought this huge box of 1000 toothpicks a few weeks ago. The box they came in was terrible. Every time I or my fiancee went to grab a toothpick out of the box the box would fall apart leaving a huge mess of toothpicks all over the counter. On Thanksgiving day I had my fill of the exploding toothpick box! I had 10 friends and family over for Thanksgiving dinner and I didn't have time to deal with playing 1000 toothpick pickup sticks! So I knew exactly what I was going to make come Saturday!



 I made a little toothpick holder with the Echo Park Holly Jolly collection,
Holly Jolly Chipboard and The Twinery Twine in Peapod!  Love this paper and twine together!

If I can inspire just one person today I have done my job!

Shop Pumpkin Spice for My Mind's Eye: Lost & Found 2





  Hello!  June Houck of Simply Elegant Paper Crafts here.  I want to send a THANK YOU to my DT sister, Carissa, for switching days with me.  Yep, you will have to wait until Thursday this week to see what Carissa has created.

  I purchased the entire set of My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 2 (12"x12") collection at ShopPumpkinSpice.  I enjoyed playing with it, but I realized that I *needed* the coordinating embellishments.  So I placed a second order that included this burlap trim, large brads, and layered sticker.  What a difference!  It's a good thing the are packaged in plastic because I drooled all over them…seriously, they are even prettier IRL.


Supplies:
papers:  My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 2 Sunshine "Forever" Classified Paper (both sides) and Sunshine "Forever" Dotted Paper


Happy Monday!  June
