So happy to get to share some exciting news here with you today. Several months ago I was asked to contribute some artwork to a beautiful new book called Exquisite Embellishments for Paper Crafts. It is ready to be unveiled and can be purchased now, but today we're celebrating with a blog hop!
The book is filled with creative uses for embellishing cards and other paper crafts. Many talented artists contributed to the book and the results are stunning. I can share a peek of one of my cards with you today...which uses my favorite little confections, buttons and my favorite Red Lead stamp.
Just a sampling of what's inside this fun book! It's such a beautiful publication I know you'll love it!
The other designer's have projects waiting to share with you as well and be sure to leave a comment for each and every designer as we will be drawing THREE winners at random. Each winner will receive their very own copy of the book absolutely free! The more comments you leave the more chances you have to win! :) Enjoy your hop and thank you so much for stopping by!
