Omg I knew you could do something with that triangle bag!!!! I love it!!! The party hat is my fav!
Good stuff, huh, Pam? She’s got a real eye for seeing outside the box. Thanks for taking the time to comment. She reads all the posts here and she’s excited that you like the projects. Happy stamping!
Fabulous!! I was NOT happy with this kit but I knew you would have some ideas that excited me…and you did. I’m going to probably use all of them. I just couldn’t think of what to do with the cello bags but the party hat is a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us.
Hi Beth! Boo is very creative and like I always say ‘give a kid a box of crafting supplies and you’ll be amazed at what they come up with’. She does us proud! Even if you don’t like the intended Paper Pumpkin kit each month, there are plenty of alternate ideas provided by Boo and to my Paper Pumpkin Parade subscribers. This month they will get Boo’s ideas plus 7 more! That’s 11 alternate ideas. Pinterest has lots of ideas as well. Never fret when you first open the box! The free stamps, ink and accessories alone are well worth the small investment that each month’s kit includes. In fact, we just added a second box to our monthly shipment. I’m tired to trying to share my box with Boo. 😀 Happy Stamping!
