September's Paper Pumpkin kit is almost always going to be some kind of treat holder since Halloween is around the corner. In past years, the kit has been very definitely Halloween. But the last two years or so, the kits have been more generic in that they could be either Fall or Halloween. I love this versatility. This September's kit offered the same option of Fall or Halloween. This kit makes 12 treat holders in four different colors. We … [Read more...] about September Paper Pumpkin-Harvest Haunts

September Sampler-Once Upon A Time
A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I had a second Sampler to release this month and today is the day! Before I show you the new sampler, I want to give you a little back story on how it came about. I really wanted August's Sampler to be Disney-themed, but I was debating the traditional Mickey colors or going with the castle colors. I ended up with going with the Mickey theme for August, but I still had some great ideas with the castle, … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Once Upon A Time
September Sampler-Apple Season
Happy Monday! It's time to reveal September's Sampler kit, which is Apple Season! I remember that when I was growing up, my family would do a day trip to Apple country every Fall. We'd eat lunch at the same restaurant every year, visit the same apple farm, and eat apple pie at the same place. Then when my kids were young, we did the same with them. We found a great apple farm, that had a huge lawn that the kids could run around. We'd play … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Apple Season
August Paper Pumpkin-Hope Box
August's Paper Pumpkin Kit is this fabulous Hope Box. Oh my goodness, the three cards are just so very pretty. I absolutely love the one with the flowers and swirls and butterflies with the Hope in the center. I think this would make a lovely card for a friend who needs a little cheer. Plus this is one of the collector boxes with the fancy designs and it even has decorations to decorate the outside of the box. Check out the giant butterfly! … [Read more...] about August Paper Pumpkin-Hope Box
August Sampler-Best Day Ever
One of my favorite places to visit is Walt Disney World. I love the rides, the food, and the resorts. I've been lucky to have visited Walt Disney World a dozen or so times. And I have to say, it never gets old for me. So, it's really no surprise that eventually one of my Samplers would represent Disney. Because Disney really is the Best Day Ever. I'm so thrilled with how this particular sampler turned out. The roller coaster worked better … [Read more...] about August Sampler-Best Day Ever
July Paper Pumpkin
The July Paper Pumpkin kit, The Adventure Begins, is a beautiful kit. July's kit makes four each of three different cards. I love the woodsy-Summer feel of these cards. And I love the sentiments in this kit: The World Awaits You and Let the Adventure Begin. Our Paper Pumpkin kits are a subscription kit. There are two ways to try out the kits. You can sign up to have these kits automatically mailed to you every month. Or you can by a Pre-Paid … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin
July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
Independence day has come and gone for another year but I couldn't let July pass without creating a patriotic Sampler for this month. Honestly, this one was a little bit of a struggle. I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to make fireworks because I really wanted fireworks in July's Sampler. I tried a couple different things, but none of them looked quite right. But I think the red and blue sparkles in the top left square are a … [Read more...] about July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
June Sampler: Good Vibes
Surf's up! School is out for the year and in SoCal that means it's time to hit the beach. There's nothing quite like the relaxation of sitting on the beach with nothing to do and nowhere to be. Cold drink in hand and toes in the sand. Won't you join me at the beach? Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month seasonally. Several customers have used them in … [Read more...] about June Sampler: Good Vibes
