You make me BLUSH

Hi everyone!  Wow, it's almost the last day of 2011! Ann here with my last SPS post for the year :)

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!

(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!!

Warm hugs to you!




  Hi!  This is June Houck here with my weekly Thursday inspiration for ShopPumpkinSpice.  I need a few more thank you notes to write out my Christmas thank you notes, so I decided to play with my Echo Park "Winter Park" collection.

  I cut the trees from the "Winter Frolic" Cricut cartridge.  I added Imaginisce hot rocks to the center of my snowflakes  and Stickles to the top of the snow.  My sentiment, "Warm hugs to you" is by My Pink Stamper.  This will be fairly easy to reproduce a few more times.

  I hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday with friends, family, and your favorite paper crafting supplies :)

Supplies:
Cricut cartridge:  Winter Frolic
glitter glue:  Stickles
other:  white card stock and snowflake punch (manufacturer unknown)

Happy Thursday!  June

Best Wishes

Hello! I hope your Christmas was fantastic! I am still up in a cabin in Idaho so this is pre-posted for your delight! :) 

Courtney here with a springy card! :) 

I ripped my jeans and didn't want them to be a total loss, so I turned them into this card! 

The sunlight was so harsh on this card, but hopefully you still get the gist.

Buttons from my stash and twine from my stash.

Season's Greetings "Beaded Matchbook" Mini Album

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend.

It's Carissa for another Monday post featuring the amazing Echo Park "Season's Greetings" paper line.

I want to share with you a mini album I made for my grandparents. This album was inspired by the very talented Laura from "Following the Paper Trail". Click here to see her amazing picture how-to tutorial and video. The photos in the album are all the Christmas card pictures from my cousins. I know my grandparents will love this album filled with pictures of the grand and great-grand children.


Front and side covers.

Each page has a pull out tag to hold more pictures and journaling.

The Element Stickers are perfect to embellish the pull out tags. Not too thick.

The poni beads between the pages give lots of room for the thick chipboard embellishments.

There are sooo many embellishments that come with this paper line. It's amazing! After this album was done I had tons left over!



Last page. I used a tag from the journaling page to write a little note to my grandparents.

See how nice and thick the album turned out to be!
