Season of Gratitude

Hi everyone!

It was another day of mid fall feeling like mid summer here on Monday.  Mind you, I'm not complaining!  The 80's in October is just fine with me!

When we got home from running errands on Saturday, I found my favorite mail of the month had arrived!  This month's Paper Pumpkin is here!  Woohoo!!!  It's another great kit.  I have three cards to share with you today, only one of these cards is made per the instructions in the kit.  It was easy for me to come up alternatives for this kit!

First up, here are the cards I created!  Shaker cards!   How fun!  And the theme is perfect for this time of year!

And a closer look at each card.

You all know by now that I am a big Paper Pumpkin fan.  I want to show you how I store my Paper Pumpkin stamps.   I use a 6 x 8 Project Life Album.  Nothing fancy, I just added a ribbon to the front and attached a Paper Pumpkin insert.

 Insde, I believe I have 2 packs of pages now.  This keeps my stamps handy so I don't have to go digging for them, because I use them over and over.  

Finally, this month's Paper Pumpkin video from Stampin' Up!
