Need Mojo? How about some Lush 2!!!!

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. 
Hi crafters! It's Lenae here from SugarGem! I had some extra time today while my mom was baking cookies at my house and I got to play with my new Lush 2 papers from Pumpkin Spice I showed on Youtube yesterday! I used the Lush 2 with the Echo Park Holly Jolly collection! Love this combo!
I decided to play along for the first time with the Mojo Monday Sketch challenge 219. Here is the sketch they gave us.
Here is my entry!
Have a great weekend!
If I can inspire just one person today I have done my job!

Just My Type

Wow, is it the 16th already?  Pretty soon we'll all be counting down the seconds to the new year!  Ann here back with another Shop Pumpkin Spice Friday post.

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.

Remember the Design Team Call closes tomorrow at midnight PST.  Click here for the post to submit your project.


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

ShopPumpkinSpice for Echo Park "Winter Park"



Hello!  This is June Houck with your Thursday Shop Pumpkin Spice blog inspiration.  Lately I have really enjoyed planning my cards around the stickers in my Echo Park collections.  Both snowflakes (and the small dark blue circle) are stickers from Echo Park "Winter Park."  I placed each one on scraps of acetate, fussy cut them, and popped each one up on dimensionals.  My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Winter Treats & Sayings."
   

Happy Thursday!  June

Sydney's Shadow Box


Hello and good Wednesday morning to you! It's me, Courtney from Court's Crafts and I am here to share my Pumpkin Spice post of the day! 

This was made for my 6 year old niece (well technically my 2nd cousin, but we're more like sisters). I decided I wanted to make her something for her room so I used her monogram to make this shadow box wall hanging! It's my first one and I hope you like it! :) 

The light was so wrong to take these photos, but I did my best! 


 I used my Xyron to glitter the vellum butterfly wings.


Recipe:




I also made this for the My Mind's Eye Sketch Challenge. I'm not sure they will let it in since it isn't a "card", but I made it from this sketch so it should still be credited! :)

Plus this next card is one of my faves. I have been dying to make my own washi tape. I have seen so many people doing this. All you need is tissue paper, double sided tape and stamps/stamp pads. This was so much fun.
