Hello, friends!
Welcome to the Seasons Givings Blog Hop! This has become a fun tradition in the paper crafting community, as a way to say THANK YOU. I'm so thankful for my blog readers, crafty friends, manufacturers, publishers, designers, and all those who have made my crafty life so beautiful!
What would a blog post be without a project? I have a doozy for you today. This card was slated for Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine's Card Creations, Vol. 13. As you may know, this issue isn't happening, as Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking has ceased publication. The good news though - it's the PERFECTO card for today! HAPPY NEW YEAR! (project details/supplies are below)
But first, my giveaway . . .
There are two copies of Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking special issues, brand new as well as just-barely used stamps, dies, (from Simon Says Stamp, Close To My Heart, Hero Arts, Unity, and Avery Elle) and some pocket scrapbooking cards from Close To My Heart!

Please comment by Monday, January 5th at 8am EST and include an email address or blog addy so I can contact you! GIVEAWAY IS OVER, thanks for participating - CONGRATS BECCA CRUGER!!!! :)
Notes: If you don't have a manual die-cutting machine, I'll substitute some other goodies in place of the dies! I am only shipping within the US. (I'm sorry sweet, distant friends!)
I created this project on a clear card base. I punched circles from Stampin' Up gold cardstock, and adhered them one by one. (Yes, it took forever.) I die cut "happy" twice, using Avery Elle's Simple Said: Happy die and layered it onto vellum. The stamp is from Winnie & Walter's The Big, The Bold, and the Happy stamp set.
I'm so appreciative that you stopped by today! Don't forget to comment for a chance to win my giveaway, and if you'd like to see what I'm up to in 2015, feel free to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
And here's the whole list of participants from start to finish! Each and every one has a giveaway to share!
