Easter Wishes Paper Crafters Sampler {Blog Hop}!

Hi all!  If you've come across my blog from the Paper Crafters Sampler blog hop, you must have just visited

Vicki Burdick's blog and saw her gorgeous project.  If you've just come for a visit, I definitely encourage you to hop on and check out what the Design Team has created and you can also check out some sneak peek's of February's issue.  We're using this beautiful Easter Cross template in this blog hop, designed by the talented Melanie Schulenberg, and the cool thing is, you'll have the template available to you as part of the issue if you'd like to subscribe.  Now here's a look at the cross I made:

I used the pretty daisies from the Blossom Party Originals die to decorate my cross and then used the sentiment from the Something to Celebrate Hostess stamp set from the Occasions Mini.  Here's a close up look at the flowers for you: 

Before you go, here's a sneak peek of my Easter Wishes project in the February issue:

Let's say it's very egg-citing! {hee!}  You can visit the Paper Crafters Sampler site to subscribe to this month's issue!  It's chockful of wonderful Easter Ideas for you.

New Year and back to work {already?!}...

Hi all!  How are you?  Hope you all had a nice holiday season.  I can't believe it's already time to go back to work.  It's a bit of a dreary day here in Southern California.  We've got a winter storm at the moment that's dropping inches of rain and snow across the southland.  YES - SNOW.  Here.  In Southern California.  Not here where I live, but we certainly drove through it yesterday on our way back home from San Francisco.  Yup - 10 hours of travel (which normally takes about 6) to get home.  Crazy, huh?!  Thankfully, we got home safely...just a little more tired and worn down from a long day's journey.

Anyway, fast forward to today - I've got a couple of fun things to share with you guys.  First, I wanted to share the brand new January issue of the Paper Crafters Sampler, which will be available on January 11th!  This month's theme focuses on Valentine's projects "With Love." Here's a sneak peek for you:

This is my first issue as a designer and I have to say, I LOVED getting to preview all the projects from the rest of the DT!  I think you guys will love it too!  If you're interested in purchasing the issue, you can head over to the Paper Crafters Sampler site, and use promocode PCSRD or mention me ;) 

The second thing I wanted to share was Stampin'Up!'s Filled With Love promotion.  It's a great little bundle to get you ready for Valentine's Day!

Here's what you get with the bundle, plus a free pack of bitty buttons, too!

You can order this bundle by clicking here.

Hope you guys have a great first week in the New Year!  Have a fantastic day.  Thanks for coming by.  Ciao for now :)
