It's a Paper Issues Blog Hop!

Hi and welcome to my first Paper Issues blog hop!   Not only will there be wonderful projects to see, but there are also a lot of giveaways!  More details on that shortly.  I've joined the altered items category - started out with a nut cup and ended up with this: 
Doesn't look much like a nutcup now.  Amazing what a couple of chenille stems, ribbon, and pretty flowers can do.  And isn't she a cute little witch?  She and her kitty, as well as the moon, are a part of one of my vintage postcards.   I think she'll be an adorable Halloween decoration. I loved Halloween as a child (although costumes were always a pain) and I just can't get enough Halloween cuteness as a grownup!  Now on to that giveaway... 
 It's the October 31st Cricut cartridge.  If you would like to win, tell me in your comment that you would like to have this cartridge.  Please tell me that you want it, because some will already have it or not need it and that way I'll know who to include in the drawing.  Also, for this hop, we are including your name twice if you are already a follower of my blog or if you become a new follower.   

Visit the Paper Issues Etsy store and get 25% off!  Just use the code HOP25. 

To see all of the Paper Issues Creative Team projects in all the categories go to the Paper Issues blog. 

 I'm so glad you stopped by  - now hop on to Susan Tutt to see her wonderful altered item!

    oh my GOSH! I just stumbled upon your blog this morning and am SO glad I did! Love the nut cup (I adore any vintage images!) and can't wait to follow 'the hop' to see where it leads. And the Cricut cartridge? Oh wow, would I love to have that! Halloween is my favorite time of year- and I'm a total Cricut newbie (still learning how my machine works). That would be a blast to play with! I'm just now a new follower on your blog- can't wait to go back through all your past posts for inspiration.

    I always have loved nut cups since I was little in the 60's. Now it's so much fun seeing them all decked out and this is so so cute! But I love everything you create. I'd be over the moon to win this cartridge. And I'm already a follower.

    Thanks Lori.

    What an adorable project Lori! My favorite thing about Halloween was the costumes! We don't do much for Halloween now as far as decorations go but my teens still have to have a costume every year! Don't put me in your drawing as I would probably not use that cartridge as much as somebody else would :)
