December Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop

December Blog Hop - Sunday

Good morning hoppers! If you've come here from June's blog, you are in the right spot, otherwise start over at The Pumpkin Spice Blog.

Can you believe that Christmas is less than a month away? I love this time of year. I love all the decorating, shopping, cookie making, family get-togethers, and of course the holiday crafting.

To kick off the season, the Design Team from Pumpkin Spice is showcasing all the holiday paper collections from Echo Park. Shop Pumpkin Spice carries all these amazing paper collections in kits (complete with paper and embellishments), in 6x6 paper pads, and in individual papers and embellishments. As always, the prices are AWESOME!

I used the Echo Park "Holly Jolly Christmas" Complete Collection Kit.
   Echo Park - Holly Jolly Christmas - Complete Set - PumpkinSpice
You can find this kit here for $27.64.
It comes with the following:
  • 15 - 12"x12" sheets of doublesided cardstock paper,
  • 1 12"x12" Element Stickers sheet
  • 1 - 12"x12" Alpha Stickers sheet
  • 1 - Set of Brads
  • 1 - Set of Layered Chipboard
  • 1 - Set of 6"x12" Chipboard die-cuts
  • 1 - Set of Clear Stamps

I created a 12-Days of Christmas countdown advent calendar. I used 4 pieces of cardstock and embellishments from everything included in this pack.



Using my Gypsy and Cricut, I created these scalloped squares with a lift-the-flap in the middle. I used the Alpha Stickers sheet for the numbers and the brads to hold the flaps down.




This collection in just so awesome, I can't wait to make more creations using this line. It has a very cute and whimsical style. And I just love all the bright colors.

I am so excited to announce this month's Featured Designer Kit by the oh-so-talented Ann. It's called "Time and Seasons". Here is a sneak peek picture of her amazing kit. She will tell you all about it at her stop. The kit is for sale right now at Shop Pumpkin Spice for $24.95. Just click here for a link to her kit.
