This is going to be such a great issue. It was fun creating projects for it and now that I've gotten my issue, even more fun seeing all of the amazing things everyone else did! I'm definitely getting into the holiday spirit.
To celebrate the new issue, there are twelve designers sharing a brand new project. There are three great projects from the issue which were our inspiration. You can find the patterns for them here: Paper Crafts Patterns. I made a gift bag based on the pattern Vannessa Menhorn created for her Poinsettia bag. Here's my interpretation:
I used the new Mitten Weather line by Cosmo Cricket. I'm absolutely in love with it. Cosmo always has the cutest chipboard elements and when I saw this little snowman, I just knew he needed to be holding a banner!
Now for the fun part...You have 14 chances to win a copy of Holiday Cards and More by leaving comments on all 12 designers’ blogs, plus a comment on the Paper Crafts Connection blog and a comment on the Moxie Fab World blog.
