This and That Gift


This is part of a birthday present that I gave one of my nieces, who just turned 11.  I thought it would be a fun journal for whatever she wants to put into it.
 

 
There is a little bit of My Digital Studio, Epic Day This and That designer series paper and Washi tape, hexagon punches and a sentiment from Yippee Skippee. 

 
Hope she enjoys using it!

September My Paper Pumpkin - Wahoo!


Even with potato harvest in full swing, I was able to put together my September My Paper Pumpkin kit a few days after it arrived!  I love that they are so quick and fun even when you give them slight alterations...
 

 
The only thing I added that was not in the kit was a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock and I have a few pieces left over.
