We're a week behind this month in presenting Boo's Paper Pumpkin video, but for good reason!
Boo lives on the University campus but typically commutes home on the weekends. Unfortunately she's knee deep in a big film and video production project. What do film production students do? They make movies! She's been on set filming a movie, working 10 or more hours a day for the past several weeks.
On top of the filming, this weekend was the University's annual Film Festival. Only three students are selected to be a part of the Festival committee and Boo was one of them! ((Insert proud momma grin!)) In light of this, she hasn't been home in a few weeks.
Thankfully the March-April Paper Pumpkin kit arrived right before her crazy schedule began. While she was home, she spent some time whipping out three fantastic projects with the latest kit, "Sew You". She asked me to wait to publish the video until she had a few minutes to video tape her introduction.
I know you will agree that it has been worth the wait!
Still pictures and cutting dimensions are listed in this post, after the video. You can click on the pictures to enlarge them on your screen.
Enjoy!

Boo's mini scrapbook

- Punch holes in the 1/2" area of each card and secure with embroidery floss that is included in this kit.

Boo's Post-It-Note holder
Cutting Dimensions
- Use 1 note card and score 1/4" from one side of the center crease.
- Trim the remaining note card to 3 1/2". One end will be shorter than the other due to the second score line. Measure to be certain they will be equal.
- Insert Post-it-Notes by removing the backing and sticking the pad inside. If you feel it needs extra adhesive you can add a piece of Sticky Strip.
- Daffodil Delight cardstock was used behind the holes for the word "You". Cut the cardstock 1" x 2 3/4" and adhere to the back side.
oh my gosh! amazing….I love these ideas way more than the SU variety. I think SU needs to hire this young lady for her awesome ideas! You must be one proud Mom!
Hi Lucy! Thank you so much for your kind words. I took a picture of your comment on my computer screen and texted it to Boo. She’s equally (if not more) excited than I am at your remarks. Yes,I’m super proud of her. She’s a beautiful, smart and creative young woman and I’m blessed to be able to share some of that creativity with all of you. Thanks for commenting!
