Paper Smooches Co-Hop

** A hard refresh (CTRL-F5) will insure you are seeing the latest post on this blog. **

It has been the craziest winter! I’m ‘snowed in’ Southern California after CHA, I’ve been trying to get home since Monday. Even the ‘snow in’  couldn’t keep me from celebrating with my sweet friend, Kim Hughes, today.  I’ve been a fan of Kim’s whimsical images for years, and I was thrilled with the opening of her new stamp company, Paper Smooches, this week!  She’ll be releasing 3 fun, clear stamp sets on the first day of each month.

Kim asked me to create a card using one of her February stamp sets.  I chose  Falling For You!

Kim offers high quality photopolymer clear stamps, shaped card templates, a design center and much more.

There will be a monthly challenge on the Paper Smooches Blog.  There will be free digi stamps involved and a guest designer spot for the next month will be up for grabs. How fun is that?

I’m headed to the airport and hoping to make it home to my sweet family today, but I’ll leave you with an inspirational line-up for today’s Paper Smooches hop (I can’t wait to see what the girls have created!):
