Hello Pumpkin

Right about now I am loving everything Fall-the cooler temperatures, the decorations, the leaves changing colors and these cute little pumpkins from the Hello Pumpkin collection from Close To My Heart.  They're from the Hello Pumpkin Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cut Set (Item#Z4239).  The Thin Cuts make it so quick & easy to cut the perfect pumpkin shape for stamping on.

Even though my kids are older & don't really dress up for Halloween anymore, I had fun creating cards and layouts using the Hello Pumpkin Workshop Kit (Item#G1160) and coordinating products. While these layouts are clearly for Halloween, only 2 of the 6 papers in this kit are for Halloween.  The other 4 papers in this kit are brightly colored stripes, plaid & gingham that can be used for many  occasions, other than Halloween.

Non traditional layout using papers & Picture My Life cards from the Hello Pumpkin product line.

Another favorite product of mine is Picture My Life (PML) Cards.  They're great for quick pocket-style scrapbooking, but take a look at another way you can use the Picture My Life Cards.  Here I've created a few traditional layouts using the Love Your Selfie PML Set and some cardstock overlays I cut out using the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge. 

If you LOVE these layouts, this could be an option for the open workshop day as well! You'll need several sheets of cardstock (which you can purchase at the workshop) plus you'll need to order the following items to create the PML layouts. 

Z3194 Love Your Selfie PML Cards
