My Paper Pumpkin to the rescue!

I ran This Father's Day weekend, my husband and I met with both my sister's and their families along with

my Dad and his wife for our annual family camping trip. We've done this trip now for a number of years, and it's often been over the Father's Day weekend.

When the May delivery of My Paper Pumpkin arrived, I knew it would work great to use as my Dad's Father's Day card. Check! However, I hadn't decided what to do for my husband's gift or card.

I ran out of time with the preparations of getting ready for camping and getting ready for my stamp club that meets the day I get back from camping! Luckily for me, I had assembled parts of the May Paper Pumpkin kit. With a few modifications, the addition of some handy retired gift card enclosures w/envelopes, I could put together a quick gift card holder for my husband and include the gift card that I ended up purchasing for his gift! Voila! My Paper Pumpkin to the rescue.

I'm sure it won't be the last time that I need to be rescued.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
