I’ve been playing with the red box again and here’s my Paper Pumpkin February 2016 Alternate 2 idea. It’s similar to yesterday in that I took one of the large embellishments and used the leftovers but this time I cut a frame around the edge in the same paper.

I started by putting the frame on a piece of pear pizzazz so that I could get my placing and then started at the outside edge and worked my way inwards. It’s extremely satisfying to use scraps that are expected to be thrown away. Since I had my red Paper Pumpkin box out, I used a sentiment from the same Hello Sunshine kit and went with the reason for the kit’s name. Black seemed a little too harsh so this is early espresso. I used the same colour as a mat and then put this onto a base of pear pizzazz.

A quick post from me today. My sprained ankle (16 days old now) is improving a lot but I suspect that’s from a large amount of ice and elevation. So it’s time to get back to my couch and some elevation and then I think I’ll be ready to play with my carding supplies some more.

Don’t forget that at the moment you can get 3 months prepaid Paper Pumpkin for only $55 and tax AND get a free item from Sale-a-bration. Just click on the Shop Now button and Paper Pumpkin has its own category – easy to find.
