 I love fall and seeing the fall colors and also love stamping with fall colors, too! I copied this card from my friend Brenda Cardinal:

This morning I received the following note:

Hello, I was handed a few of your handmade Birthday Cards and wanted to be sure to thank you for making them and supporting us in Afghanistan.  Its my wifes birthday on October 9^th so it came at a perfect time.  My personal opinion they are well made and better than anything you could find in a store.  You should think about trying to sell them. Thank you again,

 It was so nice of him to let me know he appreciates our efforts! Would you like to join me in making Cards for the Troops? I will be hosting an evening next Friday. For more details, click here.

I love getting a surprise in the mail every month with Paper Pumpkin! Paper Pumpkin is a kit that contains almost everything you need for making a project. All you need to supply are scissors and sometimes some adhesive. You get stamps, a small inkpad, and all the papers and embellishments for the project. Your first kit includes an acrylic block to use with the photopolymer stamps. These kits are great for people who don't have a lot of stamping supplies and make wonderful gifts.

The October Paper Pumpkin will come in a pink box and will benefit breast cancer research. For every subscriber who receives the October Paper Pumpkin, Stampin’ Up! will donate $1 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. In addition, from now until October 10, Stampin’ Up! will donate an additional $1 for every new subscriber. (Please note: Stampin’ Up! told us that the project inside is not pink.)
