Round and Round

Like the tire on a bike. Like the cycle of life. Like the ring on your finger. Like the Olympic Rings. It is a symbol. It is a shape. The circle was my inspiration for the My Pumpkin Challenge sample.

cir·cle
ˈsərkəl/
noun
1. a round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference) consists of points equidistant from a fixed point (the center).
2. a group of people with shared professions, interests, or acquaintances.


When I looked up the definition of a circle (above) I was fascinated by the second meaning. It made me realize I have an awesome CIRCLE! Whether it is my friends, family, Stampin' Up family, coworkers, or you, the reader who stops by to see what I am creating. All of these people are part of my circle and I thank you! Heather, Jessica and Glenn Ann are part of the My Pumpkin Challenge Team! They are in my circle. We share an interest in creating beautiful My Paper Pumpkin samples each week for the My Pumpkin Challenge blog. It is so fun to work with them to inspire others to create! Each week I am amazed at the creativity they share. 

So, thank you for being part of my circle! If you are here from the My Pumpkin Challenge or Pinterest I would love to hear from you! Leave me a note, and if you have a blog I would love to head over to read your story!

I hope you are having a great day. We are getting some much needed rain in Denver today! Thank goodness for the cool down.

New! Wishes and Stars Challenge

Let's welcome August with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge . The theme this month is " Wishes & Stars ." It totally fits the July Paper Pumpkin kit. I love the options they provided in this kit and all the products too. You still have time to sign up for your Paper Pumpkin kit and to take advantage of the great deal going on now. Here is my sample this week. I made a star border with the different size star shapes from the kit. I traced the star outlines first, cut around my pencil lines then adhered the stars. (I thought it would look cleaner that way instead of having to cut around the stars and get in the tight areas.) The front says Make a and the inside actually says WISH, but I left my camera at work so I will show you the inside tomorrow. Don't forget to stop by the My Pumpkin Challenge today to for more inspiration. We would love for you to share your creations too! Don't be shy, even if you do not have a blog you can participa...

December Challenge: Brr! It's Cold!

Let's start December with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ! The last Paper Pumpkin kit was so adorable. I can't wait to see what everyone is making with it. The Challenge this month is Brr! It's cold. I live in Colorado and it is usually really cold and snowy this time of year. Yesterday the temperature was 60 degrees. My son wore shorts to school. It does not feel like December yet! It is weird to see Christmas lights hanging with no snow. I don't think snow is even in the forecast in Denver. But, in the spirit of winter here is my sample this week! p.s. I am not complaining about the warmth, just noting that it is odd. ;) I used one of the cute snowflake cards to make this hot cocoa treat. I cut one flap off the card (the end with half a snowflake). Then I used sticky tape to tape the sides of the remaining snowflake piece, to make a pocket for the hot cocoa packet. I stamped some snowflakes along the bottom and embellished the centers with rhi...

Dessert Anyone?

Once a month I get together with a group of amazing women for Dessert Club aka Mommy's Night Out. We share kid stories, we share life stories, we eat and we drink and we make dessert together. Yes, my friend Rosalynda is pretty brilliant, she is the founder of our group. We tried book club once, no way jose, that requires homework. Plus, I do not have time to read a whole book in one month. (I have cards to make!) Unless they change it to magazine club, I know I can crank out a Glamour, Everyday with Rachael Ray and my Women's Health much faster than I can read an assigned book. Whew. We prefer immediate satisfaction. At dessert club we know we will make a yummy dessert and then devour it before we part ways. Sometimes if our kids, husbands, moms, boyfriends etc are lucky we have some leftover and we share with them. Each month we rotate houses and last month Jessica was the hostess. The hostess gets to choose what dessert we make and Jessica chose Almond Bars.  We had been o...
