Paper Pumpkin is a fabulous way to start building a stamp and ink collection. Each month Stampin’ Up! will send you a kit that has everything you need to create a project. Every time I think the kits could not get any better…Stampin’ Up! wows me with a even better kit. This is how I felt when I saw Decembers Kit. (Each Kit is a Surprise!!!)

Yesterday, I shared a bit about my new obsession with the “planner” craze…I am at least obsessed with the idea of a beautiful “planner” that would inspire me to keep going, do more for others, blog better, and stay organized. These are the things I think a “planner” would help make life easier. But, looking at all the fun products out there maybe, it would be a lot of fun to create a “planner”. With this in mind one of the ideas I have for a “planner” (I hate the word planner/ but, for the lack of a better word I will use it/ and yes, Organizer is just as bad!!!) is to keep tack of the Liturgical year, my gratitude list, my ever growing prayer list, and many other things that are faith based. A company called “The Catholic Planner” put this idea in my head. But, I really wanted something that I could totally make my own. So, one of the things I have been working on is deciding how to make this type of planner a reality. One thing that I know I am going to use is the December Paper Pumpkin Kit as part of my Faith Planner ( I really need a better word, Any ideas????) I am going to use each card at the beginning of the month for my dividers. Pretty and functional!!!! Now, All I have to do is decided what size planner I want!

Today, is the launch of the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration. This is my Favorite time of year with Stampin’ Up! The Occasions Catalog paired with Sale-A-Bration always gets me excited for all the NEW and in some cases FREE products.
I have been thinking a lot about this year and everything that I want to share with you guys. As January approached an as we are now here in the mist of January I have been thinking about how to be better organize, how to share Stampin’ Up! more effectively with you, and how I can better serve others. And looking at different ways to keep up with everything life has to offer I ran across several blogs that were full of beautiful ideas of how keep tack of life. Now, I was so excited I could not sleep. Because of all the ideas that were rolling around in my head. Now, I also know that I am very behind in the “planner” craze. Personally, I don’t much care for the name planner. I do love, all the cool products that are out there to help make planning “FUN”!!!! So , maybe soon you will see a blog post all about my “planner” bug!!! I know, that Stampin’ Up has may products from Project Life to Washi Tape to help make my “planner” pretty. And we all know that a pretty “planner” is better!!!!
Also, during the Holiday’s I received many fun products from other company that make stamping products. I am looking forward to sharing how I combine these products with Stampin’ UP! items. Everything from Derwent Inktense pencils , stamps from Concord and 9th, to Brusho! Lodes of fun to play with!!!!
On to what you really want to know all about the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration.

The Occasions Catalog is full of fun new products to make all of life’s occasions special. Lots of stamps that are right on trend to make stamping new and exciting. Such as, Rose Wonder paired with the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies!!! 
The Sale-A-Bration catalog is full of FREE products that will make your heart stop…..How adorable is the little chick from Sale-A-Bration. And I just love the two “limited” time stamps The Sky Is The Limit and Hello. 
Today’s card features the Stamp Set Hello and the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper. Along with the all new Botanical Gardens Designer Series Washi Tape! 
The Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper is marbled on one side and watercolored on the other. This paper is very beautiful and full of color!
The Hello Stamp Set features a large Hello that makes it easy to make quick and simple cards. 

The colors used are Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, and Whisper White. I’m in love with how the Marbled background of the designer series paper paired with the Bold sentiment makes for a perfect combination!
One thing that I did learn while assembling this card was that if you happen to run out of Multipurpose Glue the Stampin’ Glue Stick is a great second choice. I will have to keep this in mind in the future!
Here is the Supply List:
Thank You for stopping by Westside Paper Creations! I look forward to meeting you back here again soon! Happy Tuesday/First Day of Occasions Catalog! And Sale-A-Bration is back and better than ever!
Much Love,
Jennifer
