Brian’s Week in Review: September 8, 2024

What a week! I wrapped up all the orders for my Product Shares and Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kit early in the week and placed the order on Wednesday during the launch of the Holiday Mini Catalog. I also ordered some goodies from the new Scrapbooking Brochure. THEN…my incredible friend, Louise Sharp (from Kiama, Australia), arrived to spend a week-and-a-half in Atlanta. More on that later…

I want to give a quick rundown of the week (for those who don’t follow me every day) and a little extra background (for those who already tune in every day).

Monday

On Monday, I shared alternative projects from last weekend’s Pumpkin in the Fungeon call with my Paper Pumpkin subscribers. Sometimes the kits are PERFECT the way they are designed, but the designer in us still wants to deconstruct the projects and combine elements from our stash. Always fun. Here’s a look at the project I shared (I also walked you through the elements of each in my post):

Tuesday

Tuesday’s post was a last call for Product Shares and the Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kit – but I also shared a lovely card I made with the Regal Flora Bundle and Regal Winter Designer Series Paper. The papers are gorgeous, and the stamps are perfection! Here’s the card I shared:

I couldn’t love this stamp set more! If you’d like to read my full post about this project, CLICK HERE.

Wednesday

Wednesday was the day we’ve been waiting for – the release of the Holiday Mini Catalog and Scrapbooking Brochure. There are SO MANY great products in these books.

In my post on Wednesday, I introduce you to each of the suites in the new Mini Catalog – to read more or to download a copy of each catalog, CLICK HERE.

Thursday

When a new catalog launches, I always love to share my graphics for each of the Designer Series Papers, including a list of all colors and my favorite color combination from each pack of papers. I was happy to share paper from both the Holiday Mini Catalog and Scrapbooking Brochure on Thursday. ♥ Here’s a look at one of the new packs of paper in the Scrapbooking Brochure:

Friday

I overnight-shipped a few products from my Holiday Mini Catalog order – and those products arrived on Thursday. Along with that order, I picked up the new Designer Series Papers in the Scrapbooking Brochure. The card I shared on Friday includes two patterns from the Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper in that brochure and a sweet ghost from an Online Exclusives set. Here’s a closeup of the fun ghost on the card I shared:

Also on Friday…Louise arrived! I ventured to the Airport on the MARTA train and picked her up to bring her back with me. Such joy! Here we are, waiting for the train to take Louise, her 75-pound pink suitcase and me into town…

Louise is an incredibly talented card designer – we’ll be crafting together while she’s here, so you’re going to get to experience some of Louise’s talents while she’s here. So fun!

Saturday

On Saturday, I shared a simple, sweet card with the Humble Home stamp set and coordinating builder punch. Here’s the card I shared:

I just love this little house – so sweet. To read more about this project, CLICK HERE.
