Keeping busy!

In an effort to keep busy and not get bored while "social distancing" and staying home, I decided this was a great opportunity to finish up all those My Paper Pumpkin (MPP) kits I have gotten over the years and only done a sample for and not completed. I had a lot of fun making them. Did a little Easter card with Bonnye too, Will show it first.

Pretty Pocket Card Kit

March 2020 MPP - No Matter the Weather

I absolutely LOVE this kit! All of the cards are sooooo cute! I made my samples and I am saving the rest to let my Stamp Camp attendees do one whenever we can meet again.

Love the box this month. So glad them are now shrink-wrapping them and lable is on the wrap and not the box. This one is a keeper.

 Instructions

We got an extra stamp set this month. Love them both.

 Supplies

 My card samples - Aren't they beautiful!

February 2020 MPP - Lovely Day

Very pretty set this month. I don't usually care for flowery sets, but this was pretty and since I didn't have to do any stamping or coloring on the flowers that was even better. The cake card was cute too Loved the color combos.

 Hint to next month and we get 2 stamp sets in March.

Stamping for fun

Decided to use the extra Little Ladybug stamp images I had from the Sr. Center last month and the Stampin' Up! Blends Markers vs colored pencils used for the Sr. Ctr. Love the how much brighter the colors look. Also used the to color in some non- Stampin' Up! images giving to me by a friend. She knows how much I LOVE dragons. I only use Stampin' Up! cardstock. Haven't found any other brand I like as much. Love the color choices, weight of the paper and that we have ink and many other things in same color choices.

January 2020 - I'll Bee Yours

Now this set thrilled me to no end! My Red Hat Chapter is the Buzzin' Busy Bees so this kit and the new Honey Bee Bundle in the new Occasions catalog are my FAVE!  Guess what my ladies will be getting for our luncheon on Feb. 13th - LOL!

Sr. Center Cardmaking Day

Another fun day at the Westmoreland Lifestyle Ctr. in Colonial Beach. They had fun arranging their hearts on the Valentine's Day card and then coloring in the birthday card. Love it when the change theirs up a bit. The ladybug one was pre-stamped, so no changes with it other that the way they colored it, maybe. Paul was also there, but just watches, so I always make him a card as well and I either make one of each for Cindy, the Center Manager or I give her my samples if no time to make an extra set or no extras if a larger group than expected arrives. I usually prep for 8 attendees, so this time I made her a set. No pics of ones I made for her and Paul this time, since same as my samples.

My sample - Hearts Bundle (2020 Occasions catalog)and Stone 3D Embossing Folder (2020 Sale-a-brations catalog)

 My sample - Little Ladybus stamp set (2020 Sale-a-brations catalog Hostess set)

December 2019 MPP - Something For Everything

Got my box late, it was supposedly delivered on Dec. 22, but I never received it and whoever did get it didn't return to me. Hope they enjoyed it. Called Stampin' Up! after another week of waiting to see if it was returned and they sent me a replacement. A very versatile set. Did the first ones per instructions and saving rest to change up and decide on sentiments as needed.
