Joy to the World

Happy almost-December!  Where did this year go?  Seriously, it has flown by!  

Just popping in to share a quick card that I made just for fun! 

It uses Paper Smooches All Yule Need (here) and some of paper piecing.  I'm still loving my washi tape too!  :) It's amazing how fun and easy it is to add it to a card once you get started with it!  Seriously, just give it a try!  The best part is, if you fuss on placement of it just like me, it peels off and repositions incredible easy!

Hope all is well and thanks for stopping by!

Oh my gosh, I can't tell you how excited I am for this issue to finally hit the newsstands!  This issue is actually my first cover so it definitely holds a special place in my heart!  Eek, so excited!  

For the blog hop, we were asked to create a card die cutting something other than cardstock/paper.  I've had this cork for longer than I'd like to admit so I decided it was finally time to put it to use.  

I paired the cork up with the clip and some of the latest Paper Smooches stamps!  :) As it turns out, it's pretty easy to stamp on cork. Fun!

To celebrate the release, thank you to the wonderful team at Paper Crafts Magazine, I have one copy of Paper Crafts Die Cutting for Paper Crafters  to give away!  To be eligible to win, simply comment of this post!   You have until Tuesday, November 20th to comment to win, as I'll announce a winner on Wednesday, November 21st!
