Paper Pumpkin includes an information leaflet every month and this month introduced the rotary stamp. They also included instructions on how to use the stamp.
Another Great Year Rotary Stamp
A rotary stamp was included in this month’s kit, which is a departure from the standard stamp and ink pad I have been accustomed to receiving in the past boxes. This stamp was easy to use and I prefer it over the stamp and ink pad.
Using a rotary stamp was new to me, but it is easy to turn and has a variety of sayings and numerals. Instead of an ink pad, I used a black marker which I prefer.
Yellow Washi Tape
This washi tape is a colorful way to adhere my photos and papers to my journal. And I'll also find alternative ways to decorate my journal with this gold stripe washi tape.
“Another Great Year” Journal
I also received patterned paper and jump rings to assemble my own journal. Here’s a look at the front cover.
Here's a sample of a page I journaled.
Here’s a look at how I arranged my yearly journal. I debated whether to journal the past year's events or journal new beginnings for 2017. I decided to start fresh and journal my way through 2017, planning my monthly upcoming events. You can check out some alternative uses for this month’s project in this video.
Verdict: This month’s Paper Pumpkin project, “Another Great Year” was a fun way to end “2016”! When I received my package, I thought it would be difficult to assemble the sheets together, but it was easy to do. This journal will help me to stay mindful and focus on what I want to capture in the coming days and months. I appreciate Paper Pumpkin rounding off the year with a project that can carry me through the year, creatively. Once again, this is a great value for $19.95.
