Paperworks Co.'s 3rd Birthday Celebration






I was thrilled to be invited to participate in the 3rd birthday celebration for Paperworks Co.! I am a former design team member and they have some awesome stamps and exclusive Rachelle Anne Miller stamps that are incredible! The cutie I chose to use for my little Christmas project is Jacob and the Reindeer.
This big celebration began November 7th and will conclude the 20th. To play along you will need to browse the birthday posts and match up the sneak peeks to the creator of that project. At the end of the celebration all entries with correct answers will be eligible to win one of three $33.00 PWCO gift certificates! Here's a link to the PWCO Blog to help you along.

Let Your Light Shine!

Please click here to enjoy the Whimsy Stamps Digi-Blog Hop



What a fun project! This is my first project using one of Jennifer Nilsson's images. I had a great time choosing papers and colors to use on this little cutie! Jennifer has some wonderful images now available at Sweet Pea Stamps! You will certainly want to check them out! I'm sorry I can't give you better direction on how I made the glittery background paper....it was years ago. All I can recall is that I used glittery acrylic paint. I love how this image worked so well with the Smooch and Glossy Accent products! Who doesn't enjoy some sparkle?
