Papaya Collage and Ice Cream Shoppe collide!

Here is the first creation, as promised! I used the Paper Pumpkin introductory design to make this birthday card last night. It was a quick throw together. I used some of the Ice Cream Shoppe cutouts to expedite the process. Don't be surprised if this arrives in the mail for you!! ;-)

Paper Pumpkin Take 2!!!

I received my May Paper Pumpkin in the mail yesterday! My children asked me about it and were so intrigued as I opened the box to unveil the contents. I too was super excited. I snuck in some moments throughout the day to look at it and then I made the first card while my husband put the kids to bed. Then I made the rest while he was picking out a movie for us to watch! Yes, it was that quick!! And it was so easy! I must confess I changed the one pictured ever so slightly. Instead of using the included Basic Gray stampin' spot for the ink spot, I used my wisteria wonder and marina mist stampin' write markers. I must recant my statement in a previous post -- Paper Pumpkin is worth the price. I have four handmade cards, a great stamp, a small gray ink pad, a new D sized block, new ideas, and new inspiration! Worth every penny! I made four wonderful cards and am now inspired by the design to see what else I can do using another stamp set. That is my goal for the week: two more cards with the same design, different colors, paper, etc.
