Today's Challenge: New Years! Make something that makes you think of New Years! Be creative and have fun!

Here is my Project for the Challenge:


I purchased a pack of 12 x 12 frames from Michael's during their Black Friday Sales... amazing deal!  My intention was different than this but then I had this idea.  Monthly goals... mainly because I am horrible about resolutions.  So I figure having this on my desk as a daily reminder... AWESOME.

My main goals for January are to find ways to destress!  Can you tell?  hehehe

Recipe:
Paper:  Carta Bella - Winter Fun
Adhesive:  3 in 1 by Beacon
Trim:  Silver Snowflakes
Stamps: TPC Studio - Elegant Alphabet
Ink: Texas Chocolate by MPS
12 x 12 Frame from Michael's

Love these cut files from Silhouette.



 
Link your project Above.

The winner will be announced Next Saturday along with our new Challenge.

June of Simply Elegant Paper Crafts, our featured Designer for January will select our winners each week in January.  June will not be able to join us for this blog hop but send June some special love - HERE!

Make your day fabulous ... go play with Paper!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Missy - Card

 
 
 
Hello everyone!!  I'm so excited to be with you today for my first Design Team project for Shop Pumpkin Spice.  What an amazing group of crafters to be a part of!!! 
 
Now that Christmas and New Years are over, I'm sure many of you are beginning to think of the next crafty holiday to come.......Valentine's Day!!!  Earlier this week, I received a package of goodies from Shop Pumpkin Spice.  Included in my package were the beautiful pattern papers from Crate Paper's Fourteen collection.  While the papers are very versatile, and could be used in a variety of ways, I opted to create something with a Valentine's theme.  I cut strips of various pattern papers and adhered them to my cardstock base, and used the same papers to die cut a flower using my Cricut.  The paper is very high quality, heavy weight paper so it was wonderful to work with.
 
See the cute little sentiment??  I just love that font!!!  That cute little stamp came with the Bo Bunny Love Letters clear stamp set.  These little stamps are darling and are also very versatile.  Thank you so much for joining me today.  Don't forget, this Saturday will be the Shop Pumpkin Spice monthly blog hop right here, you won't want to miss the fun!!  Have a great day!!!  ~Missy~

Some Pumpkin Spice Daily Inspiration with Cheryl–Card

Hello and Happy New Year!   This is Cheryl.  Today I am sharing my very first project for Pumpkin Spice.    I am so excited to be joining this talented team.  I was literally dancing around the kitchen when I read the email inviting me to join.

 

2013-01-02 PSS Keep Calm WM

 

When looking at craft blogs, magazines and Pinterest, you see “Keep Calm and ….” projects everywhere. The saying is so trendy and fun. Best of all it can be adapted to every occasion. When I saw my new stamps from Pumpkin Spice, I was excited to see this stamp. I thought it was the perfect sentiment now that the holidays are over and we are getting back to our normal schedules.   

When making my card, I used lots of goodies from the Pumpkin Spice store -  BasicGrey PB&J 6x6 paper pad, Kraft Bazzill cardstock, and Cup of Tea stamps by Darcie’s Heart & Home.  

Wishing you a Happy and Creative 2013!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from June - card



 Happy 2013!  

  Yesterday the postman brought me a package of goodies from Pumpkin Spice, so my daughters and I headed to my craft room.  My girls created sticker mosaics that Santa brought while I played with my new papers and stamps.  The trees and the sentiment are Paper Smooches stamps and the papers are Carta Bella "Traditions".  I love the weight and feel of the Carta Bella papers.  They seem higher quality to me than some of my other 6x6 pads by various manufacturers...just my opinion!

  The brown card stock is from my December Pumpkin Spice kit, "Winterland Fun."  The red dotted card stock, dark brown ink, and my acrylic stamping block all came from the Pumpkin Spice kit, "Mooey Doodles."  The gems and crinkle ribbon were also purchased from Pumpkin Spice...I love that store!  Great prices and reasonable shipping.

I wish you all a healthy and happy 2013!  June
