 Love the geometric designs on these cards. Made one for hubby for Father's Day and sent the other to my brother for his birthday in May (got it just in time to make and mail).

April 2016 My Paper Pumpkin - Lovely Little Wreath

Cute wreath, but I haven't put it together yet as I have seen several other projects done with it and can't decide what I want to do, so waiting til I decide.

April is also the Anniversary for My Paper Pumpkin and they included an extra stamp set as a little celebration gift. Thanks Stampin' Up!

March 2016 Sr. Center Cards

Didn't go to the Sr. Ctr. in February. Made sure I made it this month to make Easter cards. We had a great time. Denise had brought in some stickers and card stock and they were finishing up some cards with those when I arrived, so sharing pics of those as well. They finished up while I set things up. I had done a lot of prestamping. Cindy, the center manager, cut the chicks and crosses out for me while we worked on everything else. They did a great job.Margarette used some of the stickers Denise had provided and added them to her stamped cards.

March 2016 My Paper Pumpkin - Pocketful of Cheer

This month is all about gift cards and I LOVE them for several reasons:

1. I LOVE the color Bermuda Bay/
2. Teal is the school color of one of the local High Schools and this is close enough to work for that and I can use these for gift cards for graduates from there if needed.
3. Love that there are 2 different styles included.
4. Have several great-nieces/nephews coming this year, so could use them for those as well.
5. If I don't need to make them all gift cards, I can use the parts for regular cards.

February 2016 My Paper Pumpkin - Hello Sunshine

These cards are just as pretty as can be. Decided I didn't need to get to creative with them as I loved them as presented, so only did minor changes on a few. I absolutely loved the beautiful, predecorated envelopes.

Sr. Center Cards January 2016!

Finally made it to the Sr. Ctr. to make cards for Valentine's Day. After the snow, only a few showed up, but we still had a good time and they each got to make a couple more cards than we usually have time to do when more attending. We used several things from the current Occasions Mini catalog.
