Blog Hopping with Paper Makeup Stamps!




Paper Makeup Stamps is turning 2 years old!  And to celebrate the occasion, they are having a super fun VIP blog hop with the theme "the things we love".  The entire design team invited special crafters to play along in this hop.  To see everyone involved, please go back to the Paper Makeup Stamps company blog for a master list as well as to enter your self to win a super fabulous prize!

My blog buddy, Jami (aka Sgt. Stamper) invited me to play along and I was more than honored to join the PMS folks for this special event.  Jami's blog is fabulous, so be sure to spend some extra time there while you're checking out the hoppers.  She really knows how to work those Copics, so there are lots of fabulous, color-filled projects to see!  In fact, if you are following the hop order, you should have arrived from Jami's blog.  Your next stop is Lisa McKinney's blog, where I'm sure she has something spectacular waiting for you.  If you get lost along the way, you can head back to the the Paper Makeup Stamps company blog to guide you on your way.  

For my card, I used Caliope with Heart.  She is soooo cute!  She is part of the Monster collection, but I think she is a sweetie and was immediately drawn to her as soon as I laid eyes on her.  I paired her with a ton of "things I love", including fancy papers, lace, glitter glue, gems, twine, and a lovely paper flower.  Plus, a little dimensional lacquer on the heart really makes it pop.  I had a great time putting this card together ;D 

Now, quick!  Start checking out the other amazing blogs featured in this hop!


Have fun blog hopping today. There is a ton of inspiration waiting for you on the blogs of these oh so talented folks ;D Stay crafty!
