I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .

I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:

Four Page Layout using Beau Chateau DSP

I really wanted to try to up my game on these pages.  I definitely wanted to pull in some more elaborate elements on the pages since the Beau Chateau Designer Paper has such an elegant look to the designs.  I decided to place some paper weaving and paper piercing elements on the pages. It took quite a while to get the pages completed, but as you can see from the results, it was well worth it.

Stamps:  Elements of Style
Ink:  Blushing Bride, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip
Paper:  Beau Chateau DSP, Blushing Bride, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  Bashful Blue and Pink Pirouette Ribbon, Labels Framelits, Bigshot, SNAIL adhesive

The paper weaving of the 1/2 inch strips of the DSP looks absolutely beautiful once laid out on the pages.  Well worth the time these pages took.
