I knew that Pumpkin Pie was going to be a HUGE challenge for me. In fact I had contemplated just giving it a miss, but this blog hop is all about challenges, and it would be cowardly to not try - right?




Nuts & Bolts is a great stamp set for boys (and men?) and there's even
a sample for a girl on page 13 of the Jan-June mini catalogue.

I tackled it by looking at the birthday cards needing to be made, and there are a lot in our family for February and March. I've used Nuts & Bolts with the robot as a different 'bright' to lift the grey. 


You may be wondering about the cogs and bolts. When we have a stamp or die set which is a bit special, like Geared Up Garage, I hang onto it. Might as well use Stampin' Up! retired stock than an opposition firms.


I loved it so much I made 2, one for a 4 year old, the other for a 12 year old living in different states. Mr 12 looks pretty happy with it!
