Paper Pumpkin Red Box Challenge 2018

I have had a rough few weeks and am not feeling the greatest but I had to pop on here really quick and show off my entry for the Paper Pumpkin Red Box Challenge!  Stampin' Up issued a wonderful challenge: to create an alternative creation using a past Paper Pumpkin kit.  Since I have quite the collection of kits that are unfinished I decided to grab one of my favorites, which is the July 2017 kit entitled Positively Picturesque.

When I first saw this kit I thought it would go perfectly with the Up & Away Thinlit dies and it totally does!  The little cloud stamp included in the kit makes the perfect background for my little hot air balloon.  Everything that you see in included with the kit with the exception of the Pear Pizzazz hot air balloon, Real Red heart, and the Smoky Slate Gingham ribbon.

Today was the last day to enter the challenge so I barely got my entry in but I'm so happy I did.  I am also happy to report that you can still purchase the July 2017 Positively Picturesque Paper Pumpkin kit if you are a current Paper Pumpkin subscriber.  If you're not that is easy to remedy!  Just follow THIS LINK to subscribe.  It only takes a few minutes and you'll receive the February kit which will be shipping February 10th!

Paper Pumpkin: Positively Picturesque

July's Paper Pumpkin kit just arrived!!  This month's kit is called Positively Picturesque and it is hands down my favorite kit since April's kit, A Sara Thing.

Isn't it adorable?!  If you scroll through my blog you will see how much I love hearts and four of the cards in this month's kit has hearts.  *happy dance*  This kit also has TWO ink spots, one of which is one of the new In Colors, Tranquil Tide, which I haven't had a chance to play with yet!!

Don't you just love the fonts used in this kit?!  The sentiments are perfect for multiple occasions and the little suns and cloud are too cute!  I could see using this set for so many other cards and projects.

I think my favorite part of this kit are the colors!  All but one of the colors included in this kit are new In Colors!  Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, Tranquil Tide, and Soft Sky.  Gorgeous color combo!

I also adore the embellishments included in the kit.  The wood words and flowers, grass pieces, and washi tape are so fun!

Normally when I get a Paper Pumpkin kit I look for alternatives I can do with the kit instead of using the projects the kit is intended for, but this month I am keeping the kit as is.  It's too cute to mess with!  If you would like to get your hands on this kit, and are not a current Paper Pumpkin subscriber, email me!  I will be happy to give you all the information you need to get started.
