Well, if yesterday's blog hop wasn't just too much fun - how about this?
(I wish that button was MUCH bigger to reflect the excitement I feel.) I am very honored to announce that I have joined the super talented gals on the Paper Smooches Design Team. Woot! I will be creating and sharing cards (and other projects) made with the delightful Paper Smooches stamps (and NEW dies) on a regular basis starting this month. Yay!
Those of you who read my blog know I am already a big fan, and now Paper Smooches is expanding their line by adding dies and wood mounted stamps. Eek! So excited to share.
The wonderful Karolyn Loncon has also joined the team - congrats to Karolyn!
So, here is my "introduction" card created with a new set coming soon called "Geobasics". 100% up my alley - lots of cool shapes; a set with endless possibilities.
I stamped the arrow images and colored them with Copics (used a blending pen to really work at that color), then I matted the pattern with metallic paper (which sadly does not really show in this photo). I kind of like the masculine flair. Oh, and I machine stitched with no thread in my machine for the cool pierced effect.
Too much fun! Hey - be sure to check out the Paper Smooches blog every day in January. Kim is featuring tons of new cards using product debuting at CHA this month. AND, she is giving away $500 in new product! Can't beat that. Be sure to check in often, I know you will love the new stamps and dies.
2013 certainly is starting off right for this girl!
Later.
YAY, Kim!!! (ooo love that stitching with no thread, by the way...)

I like the worn masculine look on the designs Kim. So delighted you are on the PS team. I think Kim has the best DT in town. Love how you used the sewing machine w/o thread. I keep forgetting that technique. Love it.
