Final SPS Design Team Blog Hop....

Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome to the Pumpkin Spice December Design Team Blog Hop!

This is our final 2013 Pumpkin Spice Design Team Blog Hop.  It has been such a pleasure working with these talented ladies.  They have been so supportive of my little venture, Shop Pumpkin Spice over the years.

I stumbled upon the world of 'blogging' nearly by accident when I purchased my Cricut back in 2008. Promising my hubby that I would be crafting my fingers to the bones... but my real love, I found, was PAPER.  I should have known since I am the crazy person that has post it notes in all colors and varieties even though I really don't use them.  And don't get me started on the note pads with all the cute designs.

I found MME (my mind's eye) in a local Scrapbooking store and fell in love with Wild Asparagus. The colors, the paper texture, the quality.. ahhhhhh.  I became friends with KC at MME, via my many emails, and eventually he got me started on my first Wholesale order, and that was the beginning of Shop Pumpkin Spice.

Over the next year, things started to take off and other paper lines were added to my little shop. Echo Park, Cosmo Cricket, Bo Bunny...

Then in 2011, things really took off for SPS after the first official design team was starting, due in a large part to the coaxing of a special friend, Courtney.. thank you for everything!

With the start of the design team, I had the honor of meeting some amazing ladies.  Not only are they all beyond words Talented but they are super sweet and generous ladies.  My friends!

I have watched DT sisters move onto bigger and better opportunities and been so proud of their accomplishments and many publications.  I feel so privileged to have been associated with all the SPS Design Team sisters, past and present.

Although this is a sad farewell to the 2013 design team, I know I will continue to see their wonderful projects on their own blogs.

Lets starts the BLOG HOP!!!!

Begin with June at http://www.simplyelegantpapercrafts.blogspot.com/ for the beginning of some spectacular inspiration.  June amazes me with her projects from scraps and older designs.. she has a definite eye for color and design.

Then hop over to Saundra at http://luvscrappingtogether.blogspot.com/ she is sure to WOW you with her endless ability to create something wonderful with her die cuts.

Then hop over to Heather at www.housesbuiltofcards.blogspot.com.  Heather's cards are also available to purchase for a cause close to her heart.  Be sure to read about her Sister Connection after you get inspired by her beautiful cards.

Then comes Missy at www.quickchickdesigns.blogspot.com. Her layouts amaze me and I am sure they will you too.  She combines so many design elements, from die cuts to coloring to pattern paper contrasts.

Be sure to add all these talented ladies to your daily blog reading.  They have such fun personalities, their stories will surely bring a smile to your face.

I will miss all of them deeply.  Huge Hugs my dear friends.

Winner Announcements, Challenge #31 & Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome to the Pumpkin Spice Monthly Design Team Blog Hop.

If you landed here by chance, be sure you start from the begining with Heather HERE.

You can find the complete line up at the bottom of this post...

Today I have a card to share with you that is similar to last weeks because of the detail cut... BUT... i used my Cameo on this one.  So much easier to clean up the little pieces. (no vacuum required.. hehe)  I also had a lot of fun playing with the fonts and having them follow the shape of the circle.  I am still learning but that was pretty awesome.

What do you think?

I covered the Name in the center because the recipient has not received it yet. :)

But I was able to make 3 of these cards for different people with one file on the Cameo.

Love it!!!  I can go back and use it when ever I need a Congratulations card.
Just insert Name!!!

Supplies:
Cameo
Bazzill White Cardstock (love this stuff - cuts like butter and takes INK amazingly well)
For the Record 2 - Tailored
Ribbon from my stash - I used Courtney Lee's Ribbon technique... Amazingly easy... will be using on my Holiday cards. )

Hope you enjoyed.

Winner Announcements, VOTING OPEN, and Challenge #27

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy July 6th! {lol}  Are you still hearing fire crackers in your head.  I sure am!

We chose to NOT light any fireworks this year, instead we took Pumpkin to see Disposable Me 2, very funny!  Then we sat and watched all the beautiful colors out our windows, it was fabulous.  Hubby and I tried to snap some pictures... but it just wouldn't work for us.

It was so nice and relaxing.  We live right in between 2 areas that have AMAZING displays every year.. so we enjoyed without the traffic, parking, and hassle.  It was great.

Ok, so I have so many winners to announce... and of course our MONTHLY BLOG HOP!!

Start here to be inspired by the very talented Saundra
