Paper Pumpkin - July

Hello stampers!

That was a quick weekend! So, not only did I have to get up at 2:15 Sunday morning to go to work, but at midnight, the weather radio went off to announce a severe thunderstorm watch!

Thank goodness my Paper Pumpkin kit arrived on Saturday - I needed something quick and easy to work on after I got home from work on Sunday.  Paper Pumpkin is just the ticket!

If you are not familiar with Paper Pumpkin, it is a monthly kit from Stampin' Up!.  It is delivered to your home around the middle of the month and is designed to be a quick and easy project that can be completed in about 30 minutes.  Everything is included except snail and scissors!  Trying a prepaid subscription is a great way to give it a try.  And even though there is no obligation to continue, I know you won't want to give it up!

Anyhow, here are the pictures of this month's kit and 3 of the cards and envelopes I made from the kit.

The kit, stamps, and ink spots

The finished product made following the directions.
