Protect Your Rack! Breast Cancer Awareness

https://mypaperpumpkin.com/en-us/?demoid=2010774

OK, this is not a Paper Pumpkin post, but any way we can raise money for breast cancer research and have fun is a good thing :)  So if you have not subscribed to Paper Pumpkin yet, now is a great time to do it! Just click on the banner above, and it will take you to my Paper Pumpkin store. Be sure to chose me as your demonstrator!


Here it is, my moment of brain storm this afternoon! I found another great way to use the new Wonderland stamp set from the Holiday Mini! I was cruising through Pinterest looking for some fresh ideas for Breast Cancer Awareness month (October) craft activities. And wouldn't you know it, antlers are finding their way into this area as well!!


I think this fun embellishment could be used on all kinds of things! Gift bags, tags, magnets, cards, pins, etc. Let me know how you used yours!

And I did a quick video to show you how I made them. Please forgive the noisy dogs in the background, Rose desperately wanted back in despite the fact that she had desperately wanted out 2 minutes earlier, lol! Yes, she has a very loud bark....


The stitched circle dies are here and here and here. The stitched oval dies are here. I used the Simplicity font for the phrase.

Stampin Addicts Winter Holiday Blog Hop: Winter Wishes

http://www.stampinaddicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9587&p=435804
It's time for another fabulous hop with some of my favorite people! This lovely group of demonstrators from Stampin' Addicts is taking another go at the new Holiday Mini goodies, but this time concentrating on the winter holidays featured in it.

If you are following along in order, then you just arrived from Betty Traciak's blog where she featured Jingle All the Way. Lovely, right?!

I am featuring the very nostalgic/Northwoods set, Winter Wishes. I adore this set as it exemplifies so much of what I love about Minnesota winters, glorying in the fun that can be had enjoying nature and snow.

How about some glammed up snowshoes? I can already see the pristine trails of snow and hear the unrivaled silence of a fresh snow. So crisp and clean and wonderful! If you have never tried snowshoeing, I highly recommend it :)  I managed to use a couple things from the new Mini in here- the embossing folder, and the stamp set. I really wanted to work the new stack of printed vellum, but just could not make it work with this card...

 Inside I just added a couple of pine boughs with pinecones. Always a charming look!


 I could not resist making a fun tag with this set also. Who didn't want a little red sled for Christmas?! I used the Deco Label framelits to cut the top and bottom of this 2.5" wide tag, and some of the Merry Moments DSP stack, and the Winter Wonderland designer vellum pack to add some accents, along with the gold glitter ribbon at the top. 
 

Now it is time to head on over to see what Holly Krautkremer has done with Peaceful Pines!

Stamp Review Crew: No Bones About It Edition

http://stampreviewcrew.blogspot.com/2015/09/stamp-review-crew-no-bones-about-it.html
Welcome back! It's time for the next edition of the Stamp Review Crew! This edition features a set that will bring the kid out in everybody :) I loved dinosaurs when I was a kid, even thought about becoming a paleontologist when I grew up. I don't know any children that don't go through at least a brief phase of dinosaur obsession. Now, Stampin' Up! does not make a set of dies to coordinate with this set, but I found some online that work very nicely, and you can find them here, if they are in stock. 

If this is your first time hopping with us, then I should tell you that we are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together every first and third Monday of the month to feature a single stamp set. We share lots of ideas for that set to get you excited and inspired :) You can check out the master blog roll on our home blog, and find all of our past hops, and all of the links will take you directly to the posts you are looking for!

If you are following along in order, then you just arrived from Jessica Williams' blog. Fantastic, right?!

I have been playing with the Woodland embossing folder and this idea popped into my head. I don't know if there were birch trees in prehistoric times, but I think these look great. The leaves and the vines are a great fit with the trees too, excited me!

 And a couple more little die cut dinos inside, and it is all done :) 

 

That's all I have for you, now it's time to go see what Nancy Smith has created, I am certain it will be amazing!

Stamp Review Crew: Vintage Leaves Edition

http://stampreviewcrew.blogspot.com/2015/09/stamp-review-crew-vintage-leaves-edition.html
Welcome again, to the Stamp Review Crew! This time we are featuring a beautiful autumn set, Vintage Leaves, and I can not wait to share the fun idea I had with this set! I am certain that all of the Crew have fabulous ways to use it :)

If this is your first time hopping with us, then I should tell you that we are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together every first and third Monday of the month to feature a single stamp set. We share lots of ideas for that set to get you excited and inspired :) You can check out the master blog roll on our home blog, and find all of our past hops, and all of the links will take you directly to the posts you are looking for!

If you are following along in order, you just got here from Ann Schach's blog. Gorgeous, right?! And this is Ann's farewell hop, we will miss her but wish her well in all of the adventures in life she will be sharing with her hubby :)


By now, most of you know that I am very into watercolor this year, so I had to give it a try with this set. Let me tell you, I had some miserable failures, until I was selective about the areas I used the Aqua-painter o. By just adding touched here and there, it gave the leaves a soft and dew-touched look. I love it! And I wish that it had not been so blooming hot this weekend when I had planned to do my projects, lol! I just had no energy for anything until late Sunday night, with our temps in the 90's and humidity nearly 100%. And me with no air conditioning :) That makes me look forward to crisp autumn days even more! And they are a-comin'!

Now, it is time to go see what loveliness that Deb Currier has made!
