Welcome to Stampin' Addicts Holiday Mini Blog Hop!! There are 19 fabulous stops along this hop! We will be up through Sunday so take your time and see all the new fantastic products Stampin' Up! will be releasing on September 1!
You may have just come from Cindy's Blog: Heart's Delight Cards where she featured Pines & Poinsettias. I just LOVE all her projects. My favorite it the second card with the pretty snowflake on it! If you are starting here, have no worries! The blogs are all linked together so you can get around them all! You can click HERE to see a list of all the blogs or if you get lost along the way.
I worked with the stamp set called The Sounding Joy. It's a beautiful script set based on the Christmas carol Joy to the World. My first project is kind of out of the box. I used the word Joy from the set to make a baby card! Babies really are a joy and it seemed appropriate to make this card. You can turned this into a boy or neutral or even a wedding or retirement card with a few changes!
