SPS July Hop and Challenge

Good morning! Welcome to the monthly Shop Pumpkin Spice Design Team hop for July! You should have just arrived from Agnes, but if you just happened along, you can head over to our first stop today, Saundra - so you can hop along the whole way and not miss anything!

The challenge for this week is Stars or Fireworks - so I decided to go with stars for my theme!

Here are the items I used from Shop Pumpkin Spice:

Classic White Bazzil 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock

Crate Paper Little Boy Blue 6x6 paper pad  

Maraschino Red & White Baker's Twine

Tim Holtz Distress Ink

My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Love" Enamel Dots

The stars were cut with a Lawn Fawn die that I won a few weeks back and hadn't had the chance to use yet - and I stamped the sentiment with an older Bo Bunny clear stamp set that I got from SPS, but now can't find in the store - so it must be sold out! Finished off with a few sequins to tie it all together!

You are almost at the end of the hop, so your next and final stop is the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog to see what Denine made to share today! There will also be the monthly winner announcements, as well as the Linky for the new challenge! Can't wait to see what you join in and make! Have a great day!

SPS Inspiration - You are my Sunshine

Good morning! It is my day to share some inspiration over on the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog. We have slowly been enjoying bits of warmer days here is Wyoming, and I have been enjoying the always present sunshine - so I put together a card today to celebrate those who bring sunshine into our lives:

I used some 6x6 Crate Paper Storyteller collection papers, and layered a Bo Bunny Doily on top. Added a few wraps of jute twine, then added the Bo Bunny Chipboard piece. This is such a quick way to put together a card! No stamping or die cutting! Super easy! 

Finished off with some sequins, and a bit of coordinating bling, as well as an enamel dot in the center of the jute twine bow. 

Here is where you can find all the ingredients at the Shop Pumpkin Spice Store:

Crate Paper Storyteller 6x6 paper pad - $4.20

Bo Bunny 4" Doilies - $2.09

Bo Bunny Chipboard Layered Weekend Market Stickers - $2.51

My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Together" Enamel Dots - $2.79

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

NSD Shop Pumpkin Spice Challenge and Giveaway!

Hello! Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!! We are celebrating all day over at Shop Pumpkin Spice - with a challenge every hour hosted by one of the Design Team. The best part? EACH challenge offers the opportunity to win a $20 gift certificate to Shop Pumpkin Spice!!! I'll hope you'll join us!!!

I also have a coupon code for you - use NSD6 today at Shop Pumpkin Spice to save an extra 10% off your entire purchase today through Monday! 

I picked "His and Hers" as the theme for my challenge. Interpret it how you like - either make a set of cards or layouts that include one girl and boy design, make a wedding or anniversary card or layout that is for a couple, or whatever your imagination comes up with!

I decided to use one design to make both a girl and boy baby card - that way if you know someone who doesn't find out in advance whether they are having a boy or girl (like me!) - you have one of each card ready to go right away after they are born!

Here is the girl version:

And here is the boy version:
