Today, twelve designers will be showing you projects using a sentiment from Paper Crafts free downloadable sentiments (you can find them HERE).
Of course, there are prizes involved! Paper Crafts has generously offered up one commenter on every blog a copy of the new magazine!
I would also like to seize the moment and also giveaway a prize - however, to be quite honest, I don't even know what it is yet due to my lack of time to prepare anything, but I promise you it will be nice little packet of goodies! ;)
So a quick little note before the card - I don't usually 'do' this kind of thing, but again, I'm seizing the moment!
I just wanted to let you know that being a part of a Paper Crafts blog hop has always been a little dream of mine. I was a little sad starting college without having this dream come true, because I knew then that my papercrafting and blogging time would be cut severely on this new endeavor, and I figured my chance was gone.
However, God has been SO incredibly good to me - I didn't even ask and He fulfilled my wish! What a sweet, adorable God to know and fulfill my little wishes, which I didn't ask for, much less deserve!
So basically this little shout-out is due to me wanting to give back the honor to Him who rightly deserves it - and the one whose birthday we celebrate in this magazine! :) Deo gratias!
Now on to the card!
I'll admit, between volleyball and studying, I didn't have a whole lot of time to make something - I actually quickly put this card together just the other night, so I hope you'll forgive me if you think it under par! :)
Love the new Hero Arts Aspen Festive Ornaments stamp - as soon as I saw those adorable nutcrackers, I had to pick this stamp up!
Now for the entire list of designers;
1. Chan Vuong
4. Kalyn Kepner
7. Amy Wanford
