Cheers for you!
I’m onto my next Paper Pumpkin kit, the March 2016 “Pocketful of Cheer”. Lots of cute cards and gift card holders in this kit just as they are shown. But, you know me…what can I do that’s a little different? These kit pieces have been on my crafting table for 2 weeks now as I […]
One more flowery Happy Happy
As I was straightening up my craft table last night before working on my March-2016 Paper Pumpkin kit alternative ideas, I found 2 more of the flower card from the February’s kit.

The airy Calypso Coral flower outline is actually a peel and stick flower that I cut in half (so double the cards!). And […]

The kit had 3 different card examples and you had […]
Thank you flowers
