Hi everyone! It's a two post day! I am thrilled to be part of the My Pumpkin Challenge design team!! This particular challenge blog is focused on using the monthly Stampin' Up! My Paper Pumpkin kits... we all know I have simply fallen in love those.

In the December kit, Stampin' Up! came up with a kit to create this card:
I have been loving that garland and used it for inspiration to create this:
I am just loving life lately. I truly hope you are so lucky to be able to feel the same.

Artisan Wednesday Wow: Pop n' Place Part 2
"Part 2?"
"Why yes. If you missed part one... you can find it here!"
When I first saw the negatives of the Pop n' Place Holiday Gift Tags booklet, I immediately was inspired to do a scrapbook page but I wasn't sure how I would execute it.
Then I got to playing.
I used many of the banner pieces from the booklet, as well as four frames. The Christmas Tagables stamp set, which is part of a bundle for this booklet, provided some great journaling for me.
Here are some things to think about when scrapbooking with limited supplies:
- Build a banner.. it always looks even better with stitching.
- Use dimension in your pages... it makes a big difference. See below how the banners come off the page as well as the "frames" around the picture.
- Use different textures such as the Crystal Effects on the "25" stamp.
- Clustering is a must. Don't be afraid to take several buttons, toss them on your page and glue them down where they land. FUN!!
-Finally... doodle. Make it YOU. (See my border around my page)
PS. I am sooooooooo excited for CHRISTMAS!!
Happy Thanksgiving to my American Friends! :) I'll be thinking of you and will shop online in your honor. :)
Make sure you keep hopping to see the rest of my buddies. Cindy is up next and she is sure to blow you away!

Introducing monthly Mommy & Me Kits
Introducing…
MOMMY & ME KITS!
What are they? A craft kit for kids aged 2 to 6 years old that is pre-cut and ready for you to open and enjoy. It will always include a picture, simple instructions and everything you need to complete the project including adhesives. Each kit will have from one to three different crafts depending on the materials and size of the project. These projects are not hard… they are tested out by my own kids. J
How do I get them? Local delivery (St. John's & CBS, NL area) is included in the price and will be delivered in the first week of each month. Kits must be pre-paid prior to delivery.
How much are they? They are $10 each month and you can pick and choose which months you want to purchase. You can also do a six month subscription for $50, giving you savings of 20%!
Want more information? Ensure you are on my mailing list by emailing me at inthecatcave@hotmail.com. A monthly email will be sent out on details for each kit. They will also be available online here. Follow me via Facebook to make sure you don’t miss out on the kit announcements, as well as any other kid-friendly crafty projects.
Want to see the project for December?
Thanks to my daughter who happily dipped her "snow-balls" in her "glue puddle"! Yes, she was also eating some smarties... YUM!
