The June Paper Pumpkin; "Box Full of Sunshine" is an absolute delight.  I haven't had time yet to fill my decorated box up with yellow treats and gifts for someone special, but I did make some cards.  The card designs this month are gorgeous right out of the box - so I didn't fuss or make any real changes and put together one of each as shown.

The new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue released this month, and there are nearly 200 pages of fun products to play with throughout the year.  The first product suite I was drawn to as a "must have" was the Flowers For Every Season. Not only does it feature all five of the newest In-Colours, I could see this as a very versatile suite of products that will work for all kinds of projects.

Two things you always need when you least expect it are a calendar and a notepad.  This handy little wallet made from half a sheet of cardstock and a third of a sheet of Designer Paper makes a great thank you gift for customers, family and friends.  Hilight birthdays or special event dates, classes etc.,or even stamp on the pages to further embellish.  A handy magnetic closure keeps everything together.
