Where is Inkerbelle?

Hi, readers. It has definitely been a long time between posts and I apologise. There are blogs I visit daily, forget hourly, yet mine has remained blank for over two months.

Since then, I have been coping with the passing of my uncle/godfather, adjusting to additional duties at my workplace, doing some soul searching, and trying to lose a few pounds lol.

On the artistic side, I recently discovered Zentangle, and have thrown myself into it with all my heart and soul. Only problem is.... I'm afraid to post my tangles! It was different with stamps, but now I truly consider myself and artist in recovery (it was my suma cum laude major in college!!!) with a lot to show but still scared to show it.

Anyway, I truly appreciate your time to read and review and hope you will continue to subscribe. I still retain a love for Lawn Fawn stamps, and if I ever sell a Zentangle, you can bet I'll be throwing that into the LF stamp kitty!

Two weeks to Valentine's Day

Enjoy your Sweetheart candies while they last!

It's a Magical Paper Escape Every Month!

Sweep away the mundane-your creativity carriage awaits!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .

I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:

All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects.

Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!


Get Started
It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program  by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!
Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each month I send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you and your customer a 30-minute creativity escape.
• I will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.  
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) The commissionable amount is $14.95 for each Paper Pumpkin.  
• There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

Here's How You Order
Sign up for your monthly Paper Pumpkin by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Make sure you select Aimee Belair as your demonstrator.
 

A Free Stamping Gift in Your Very First Kit
The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic stamp block!

Why am I offering Paper Pumpkin?
Paper Pumpkin is the perfect introduction to Stampin' Up! It's designed for crafters that want to create a project each month, but aren't quite ready to build a stamp collection (yet). Trust me, you are going to love it.

Still not sure?
For those of you still on the fence, starting in early March, you can try this Jots and Thoughts Paper Pumpkin for one month free!!!

Stay snug this winter for CASology #26

Here's a quick entry for CASology #26. Just trying to imagine not going stir crazy all cooped up inside the house on a blustery day and I came up with this. My birds are taking turns thawing from the outdoors under a lamp. Hope you like it!

Critters in the Burbs birthday card for Lawnscaping Challenge #49

Here's a little entry for Lawnscaping Challenge #49. It is their birthday anniversary and I wanted to thank them for maintaining such an awesome site. It looks like a lot of work to host a blog like this so I really appreciate how fun Laurel makes it. Here's to you, birthday blog!

Blissful Botanicals with some leftover Fa-La-La

Sounds like a meal at a health food restaurant, eh? Just playing around with some Lawn Fawn decorative paper scraps. I'm always running low on birthday cards so I made this one last night with "Happy Birthday" stamped on the inside. This is a cased layout from an SU! demonstrator. I'll post her name as soon as I find it in my files!!!!

Patterned Occasions get well card

Happy Sale-a-bration 2013 to all you Stampin' Up! fans! This Patterned Occasions set is possibly one of the cutest SAB sets that I have ever seen in all my SU! years. I'll likely be using this often. Once you use the dotted embossing folder to make a stack of middle layers with your Big Shot, this card could make a great Ten Minute Totable for this month to carry around in your bag. I used Cameo Coral and Chocolate Chip markers, Sahara Sand scraps and the small/large oval punches. That way you can show someone how to stamp something really quick and cute (omg, remember THAT old SAB set?)

So one of my colleagues helped me out big yesterday...

...so he got this card in return. I had to work fast, but it went over very well. I combined an idea for a news clipping I saw on MyFonts along with a trend of making faces on top of faux tealights. He really does look like that!
