Challenge #70 - Washi Tape

Happy Saturday .....


 
Challenge #70 is.....

Washi Tape


Any project using a Washi Tape
Please leave a comment after you have posted your project.

 





This Challenge is open until Friday, May 9th at Midnight PST.
At 12:05 am it will then open for voting!
Winner will be announced on Sunday, May 9th.

It took me a while to start using Washi Tape.  I was totally intimidated by it.  Then I just starting 'playing'... there are so many wonderful ideas on Pinterest. 

This is a card I made with Indie Chic Washi tape.  I am still a little nervous using Washi Tape but I think this turned out pretty cute.. and super simple to do.




Look at all these wonderful designs coming out from Queen & Co.  and the best part... the prices.

Instead of $7 to $10, these are only $2.99... crazy cheap.

If you would like me to add your name to the 'waiting list', email me  HERE

They are due to start shipping late May.


Reminders!!
  
Voting is open for Challenge #69 HERE

Freebie Friday #18

Hello Bloggers...

I am running behind again... uuugggghhhhh....

Here is the Freebie for today...


My Pink Stampers - Girly Sayings.  I thought these would be perfect for Mother's day! (which is next weekend - oh my goodness)

Robyn - My Pink Stamper - retired in 2012. 

It was very sad for me to see her step out of the stamping creation business.  I just LOVED her stamps sets.  She created her sentiments to coordinate wonderfully with either a Cricut cartridge or her Image sets, when she start them right before she retired. 

Well, I could go on and on about what a wonderful person Robyn and how very honored I felt that she allowed me to offer her product in the Pumpkin Spice shop.  But that would turn the post into a mooshy mess because I am an overly emotional person! :)

So without further delay (yay.. already late Denine - geezzz) the freebie this week is one of my favorites.  But in all honesty... there isn't a set of her stamps I would pass up. :)

To be eligible for the Freebie today, simply do 1 thing:

1. Leave a comment

Not required but I would love to see you as a new friend on the PumpkinSpice Facebook Page.


Reminders!!



Come back tomorrow for Challenge #70 - Hint: Tape


This Freebie Friday will stay open until Saturday, May 3rd at noon PST. 

Have a beautiful weekend!

What? Wednesday! - Week #18

Happy Wednesday Everyone...

Hope your week is going fabulous...

Our last Daisy meeting was Tuesday and we planted some flowers.  They are growing wonderfully.

 
We used 4 oz Dixie cups as our plant containers.  I wasn't sure that they would work but they seem to be doing really well.  Since they are paper, I think we will be able to simply plant them in the ground and they will decompose.

 
On Monday, poor little Pumpkin was hurt by a classmate on the bus... yikes... what drama that was. 
Still not sure how it all transpired but the little guy punched her in the chest, head and scratched her.  Lots of hugs and kisses and a long soak in a bubble bath and she is doing better




Then Tuesday she became sick at school but I didn't get called until 2:35, school is out at 2:55... LOL  I still went and picked her up... poor thing.  Of course she was fine once we were home.  I think she just needed mom still after the earlier events.

Then she negotiated with me, I wanted her help putting away laundry.  She said she would help if I would let her paint my nails... hehehe  I had originally said no, but then Daddy called and she 'told' on me. lol... he got a real laugh out of that, so I couldn't say no.



 
 

 

Hehehe... of course I had just clipped my nails all the way down.  Getting ready to start using my OPI nail treatment again.  Her sweet 'Strawberry Shortcake' nail polish washed right off after dinner dishes.

Our house plans were submitted again to the city Tuesday after revisions were made. We are trying to stay positive and hope to break ground by the 1st week of June! We are all so ready to get this house started. 

I had no idea it would take 9 months of back and forth with different Engineers, our Architect and the City permits and planning department before we could put a shovel in the ground. 

Thank you for peeking in on Pumpkin Spice today.  Hope you are enjoying our little tidbits about life!

Tomorrow we will take an off day, we will be back with Freebie Friday!!!

Tuesday with Pumpkin - episode 2

 
Happy Tuesday Friends...
 
Welcome to
Tuesday with Pumpkin.
 
Episode 2 is just a quick little video of Pumpkin being Pumpkin.
 
enjoy!
 
 

 
 
Thank you so much for watching.
 
Sadly YouTube made me delete the audio because a portion of the copyrighted song was playing in the background.  So you may just hear silence for about 40 seconds.  She is 'singing' Katy Perry - Firework, one of our favorite 'DRIVING SONGS'

 


Pumpkin aspires to be a ROCK star but she will definitely need some training.. :)
 
 
Tomorrow is What? Wednesday!
 
 
Hugs,

Make a Card Monday - Tea Time


Happy Monday!!!

Do you LOVE Monday's or Dred them?  I am a mixture of both. :) 

Here is a sweet little card I put together this morning before heading into the office.

 
I used the Alphabet Junction papers by Carta Bella.  Are those little orange flowers sweet or what?

 
The jute was a perfect find at Target.  I am starting to get addicted to their $1 area. Yikes!



 
I used some dimensional tape to elevate the layer with the jute so the card didn't get those creases in the layers when you put the paper right over the jute.
 
 

 
I colored here with a combination of Copic Sketch and ProMarker.  She is not perfect, but I still think she is darn cute!
 

The adorable stamp is from the T-Time set made by Penny Black.  You can see it in detail HERE!
 
Hope you enjoyed my little card.
