I'm excited to be guest designing for Paper Smooches this month! Kim Hughes, owner and illustrator for Paper Smooches is one of my favorite people in the industry...she is just sweet as can be and I feel privileged to have gotten to know her through our time together as Paper Crafts Go-to Gals. I am honored to be her guest this month!
It's Pep Rally week and we are here today to share a sampling of the Paper Smooches October

Here's a card I made with the new All Yule Need stamp set (aren't the names of her sets just the cutest?? Seriously!). This is the set I'll be giving away to one lucky commenter.
This new set has lots of fun elements. I chose to work with the cute stockings. I stamped them onto patterned paper, cut them out and paper pieced them back together. I thought about printing our a corny sentiment like..."wishing you unmatchable joy this Christmas"... ha! But Kim's hand written sentiments are just to cute to resist so I stuck with that. :-) All images on this card are from the new All Yule Need set.
Thanks for stopping by today! Check back Saturday to see if you're the lucky winner of an All Yule Need set.
Supplies not linked but available on October 1st from Paper Smooches: All Yule Need stamp set
