Crafted by Grace

Our 2nd annual Christmas in July was another day of FUN, creativity and hope.  We were joined by friends and family spanning four generations. With baby Paisley stopping by for a quick visit, our guests were infant through octogenarian, and it filled my heart with hope.  We created beautiful cards, crafts, scrapbook layouts & gift tags.  We laughed together, prayed together, and enjoyed delicious foods, including festive Christmas Chili 🌶️ and Citrus Frosted Cookie Cutouts, for a perfect mix of Nostalgic Holidays and Summer.    We all in tried something new - Paper Pumpkin cards, or creating with Ephemera packs, and made beautiful things, easily.  If all this weren't enough - we also raised $75 in donations for Grace Dance (local performing arts nonprofit) through this pay-by-donation event! THANK YOU, EVERYONE! 

Today we created a Summer-y Congrats card with June's Paper Pumpkin kit, Life is Sweet.  It took less than ten minutes, and so lovely with dimension and layers.  I feel this would be a beautiful engagement or graduation card.  What might you use this for? This is only one of nine cards that were included in this kit. I have made some just like the brochure, and a few of my own variations, as well.  This one is a mini scrapbook card!  Did you know, you can order past kit refills, if/when you are a current PP subscriber?  I love this option.  You can also skip delivery for a month with the prepaid kits. Not into subscription surprises?  Our Online Exclusive "brown box" kits may be right up your alley.   New kits were just released this month, while supplies last!!   Check them out at Stampin' Up! > Find A Demonstrator > Rebecca Laird, Delevan NY Trying something new today .
