I just couldn't stop creating! (Gosh I love Paper Pumpkin kits!)

The June Banner Surprise kit had so many unique and fun elements, I just kept on going even after recording the projects for my videos that I shared on June 29th and July 3rd.

The first thing I made was this Project Life layout. I was inspired by a card that Dawn Stock had created and shared on the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club on Facebook. She shared her idea of using the circular "lines" stamp from the kit for stitches on a baseball. And I just had to share this cleverness in my own project!

But then I kept looking at the layout and it just didn't feel right to me. So I took out the Mint Macaron (green) pieces and set the page aside for awhile. I grabbed the smaller green piece, added a bit more, and then turned it into this card.

I came back to the Project Life layout and changed it up to look like this instead. I was much happier with this one. But I'd love to hear what you think. (Please leave me a comment below.)

Next I made this card – a shaker card that has "shakerness" on the outside…

I got crazy with the sequins and decided to apply them in a pattern to create a lollipop. It took awhile, but it made a fun card.

And this last card turned out to be a favorite of mine. When I thought it was going nowhere, I surprised myself by adding the die-cut floral piece.
