10 More Alternatives (Part 2) - September 2020 Paper Pumpkin - Hello Pumpkin
We are moved and I had a great time finishing up this month's Paper Pumpkin kit. It is loaded with die cuts, all different colors. Watch the video for more focal assembly tips as well as my more elaborate focals. I finish it off with a big showcase and some embellishments to consider using with this kit.
8 Alternatives - September 2020 Paper Pumpkin - Hello Pumpkin - Part 1
Wow... I mean really, Wow! Watch the video to see my reaction when I open this kit. I want to spend some quality time with all of these bits, so I published the prep with some prep tips, four basic and four focals to get the ball rolling. I will break out the kit once we get moved and will spend some quality time making backgrounds and focals of all types and will get it posted by Friday!...
Silhouette Sunset Scene - Strip Series #3 - Thanksgiving Card

I can see a trend developing with this series. It seems I run out of time before I can get all of the cards finished for showcase pics. Though not intended, I am splitting these into two part episodes so I don't feel rushed to finish. I enjoy the finishing process and make each card individually so need the extra time. Not to mention that I am a very slow crafter.
Parcels & Petals...

I cannot believe that we are already into September! Sheesh, winter is just around the corner and we leave from our home area to stay at the ocean this winter. We are hoping to ride out some storms while there.
We have so much to finish up before we leave. Today in fact we finally took our old truck to a local consignment dealer to sell it for us. We'd hoped to have my mom sell it after...
