remember to create
Bill Johnson said during one of his online sermons (minute 5:47) "During war... create" This pastor has been such a blessing to my life in many ways this year. This particular speech blessed me and reminded me to continue doing those things He called me to do. Taking every thought captive, renegade thoughts warring against me, to the obedience of Christ. It is time to create blessings!
Today I will share some projects I created with the newest Paper Pumpkin kit Warm Wishes and a few from the past kit I created during my Paper Pumpkin INSPIRE meeting. All my subscribers meet every second Thursday of the month in zoom for a time of creativity. Join my subscribers here!

I shared a fun way to use the Winter Wishes Cards and Envelopes Add-ons as a pocket to place your Paper Pumpkin cards this year and give them as gifts. I enjoy giving away my cards as gifts to neighbors and others. Hope you give it a try!
Last year I created other paper purses, check them here!
Below some samples made with this lovely kit during that time of connecting with you. Don't forget to watch and leave me your love in YouTube with your comments. Always a blessing to hear from you.

These little house make very special ornaments for your tree or a friend. Add a small picture to the back of it or some sweets on the inside and make it a cute gift that keeps giving.
one special keepsake
I so enjoy scrapbooking memories that make me smile. Making gingerbread houses with the kids have been one I truly enjoy. My girls love adding Christmas music in the background while they make their colorful structures. This kit reminded me of this tradition and smiles. Why not make a page that showcases their smiles and little houses. One little one only cares about eating Christmas cookies!
One of my girls traditions for Christmas is decorating gingerbread houses. I printed some photos from our 2022 Christmas and paired them with the cute Winter Wishes houses. Love the dimension!
I enjoy adding pretty ribbon to mostly everything I create. The ribbon became an extra fun addition to the already packed but easy layout!
You think scrapbooking is fun? Try hiding journaling or extra pictures. This little one was interested only in eating the cookies or candy. Nothing more! The top house has space for the hidden journaling.

During the month of November my Paper Pumpkin subscribers met to inspire each other and FINISH our kits. This is one of my goals with my subscribers, to help them enjoy and use their kits to the fullest. Here the end result and one of my favorites! We meet every second Thursday of the month from 7-9PM ET. Join my group here!
take time to ponder
December will soon begin and with it many more tasks get added to our agendas. My plans? To enjoy every moment and have as much fun as possible. I believe there is healing in a hug as much as in a burst of laughter. Stress less, Laugh often.
"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22
Let's count our blessings and laugh intentionally this month. Jesus is the reason for the season, and indeed Joy to the World the Lord has come, let earth receive their King.
Thanks for being here today!
