Joy of Crafting's first show of 2013!

Happy New Year, Crafties! It's time for a new Joy of Crafting show!

I start off the show with a Carnation bear!

It's simple and cute, perfect for Valentine's day, birthdays, graduations and more! We even have a
project sheet for you.

Next up, we have Cheryl Miyashiro with another cute card.
 
 

It's an easy window card using Sizzix Framelits and that cute dandelion designs doggie.

Our next guest makes her debut to the show, Katie O'Shea from Market City Ben Franklin Crafts.

Katie shares a cute project from her childhood. You can make her Heart Pocket with your little ones, too!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you continue to enjoy our show! Have a great week and I hope to see you in person in 2013!

Look at What YOU could Win!

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Just thought I'd remind you that Monday Labor Day is the deadline to turn in your entries for the Stamp Aloha Card making contest.

Need an entry blank? You can get one at the Ben Franklin Crafts stores or download it here.

Remember, the idea of the contest is to support our local rubber stamp companies Rubber Stamp Plantation, dandelion designs and Sister Stamps. Just use one of their designs on your card and enter in that category.

One winner from each category will be chosen. Each winner will receive some paper crafting supplies along with some stamps and a $25 Ben Franklin Crafts gift card.

To give you an idea of the prize packs, Look what Jean from dandelion designs sent over for the prize!

All I can say is WOW!

So, don't forget to get your cards in so you can get a chance to win these awesome prizes!
Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Card Making!
