Paper Smooches/EAD Designs Blog Hop!

You may have heard that Paper Smooches has partnered up with EAD Designs to make fun rub-ons and stickerz. We thought that it would be fun to show just how well these products work together!
Here's a little Christmas in July for you...

Merriest Wishes
Supplies:
Cardstock: (ivory) The Paper Co., (brown, red) American Crafts, Patterned Paper: Making Memories, Stamps: (Branch from Hang in There set, Bird from Santa Paws set) Paper Smooches, Ink: (brown) Memento, (green) Clearsnap, Markers: Copic, Rub Ons: EAD Designs, Ribbons: Offray, Twine: We R Memory Keepers, Button: Favorite Findings, Snowflake and poinsettia cabochons: Making Memories, Dies: Spellbinders, Corner rounder We R Memory Keepers
Size: 4.25x5.5"

I used stamps from the Paper Smooches Hang in There and Santa Paws sets for the focal point and the EAD rub on from the July release made a perfect sentiment. EAD Designs products are just a dream to work with, the rub ons are thick, do not tear and go on like buttah, and the stamps have a sheer background with a matte finish that is nearly invisible when applied to paper.

Blog Hops are more fun when a prize is involved, right? All comments received before midnight Pacific time on July 24th is eligible to win a prize pack of both EAD Designs and Paper Smooches stamps. Visit the Paper Smooches Blog on Monday, July 25th to see if you were the ONE winner chosen. You do not need to comment on all five design team blogs to qualify. Good luck!

THE PRIZE:
1 EAD black stickerz sheet (July release)
1 EAD black rub-ons (July release)
1 Paper Smooches stamp set of your choice
To increase your chances of winning, comment to tell us that you facebooked, tweeted or blog posted about our blog hop.
Thanks for stopping by!
