July's Paper Pumpkin and $10 Promotion

When July's Paper Pumpkin box arrived in my mailbox, this is what was inside:

I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but it's suppose to be a banner to go on a cake.  While that is a cute idea if you are into that kind of thing, I knew it was something that wasn't going to happen here.  So I took the pieces in the kit, added some card stock and rhinestone jewels  from my stash and came up with these:

12x12 Scrapbook Page  Colors: Pool Party, Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White.  Stamps and Accessories from the July Paper Pumpkin Kit (except Rhinestone Jewels).

CARD Colors: Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, Tangerine Tango, Pool Party and Whisper White.  Stamps and Accessories from the July Paper Pumpkin Kit (except Rhinestone Jewels).

One of the beauties of these kits is you can quickly put them together the way they are intended, or you can change it up and use the parts and pieces in new and different ways.  My goal is to show you at least one alternative way to assemble the kit each month.  I ended up a little behind with the July kit, but watch for the August kit and an alternative idea to be posted around the end of the month.
