Hello, I hope you’re all enjoying this wonderful weekend! Some of you may already know this but I’ve had a broken rib for a week now. It’s extremely painful and I’ve been trying not to do too much but with a family to manage and all this crafting to do (haha), it’s a little difficult! I’m doing my best to find a balance and catch up after the holidays which was filled with way too many illnesses.

Today’s card features more sneak peeks from Paper Smooches! Everything you see here will be available on February 1st. I used another frame die called Duo Die 3 cut from map paper and stamped inside it with a sentiment from Spiritual Sampler which Jennifer McGuire is also showcasing today. Be sure to check out her blog for more sneak peeks and comment there for a chance to win some Paper Smooches goodies! I masked off the ‘I love’ from the original sentiment in order to place the Love Word Die around it. Then I embellished the frame with a butterfly die from Butterflies 1 Dies. Yes, these dies coordinate with Flap Happy!
And, finally, I’d like to announce my winner from the Season’s Givings Blog Hop on Tuesday. I used Random.org to choose my winner and that lucky lady is:
Congratulations, Verna! Please email me with your mailing address so I can send you your prize. If I don’t hear from you by January 11th at 11:59 p.m. EST, I will choose another winner to be announced on January 12th.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I’ll see you back here soon.

beautiful card.. Love that butterfly… Congrats to the winner.
I like your choice of the map paper for the die-cut "background" and replacing the stamped "love" with the die-cut word was a great idea.
Ouch, Emily! I can't believe you're still managing to craft with a broken rib! That's determination for you! Your card is sweet, gorgeous colours, and great layout! 🙂
Love how you incorporated the 'love' word into your sentiment – sweet card Emily. I sure hope you heel fast 🙂
I mean 'heal', LOL!
Oh my goodness….I'm so sorry that you're recovering from a broken rib. Not the start to the new year you needed! Here's hoping that is it for 2013! Love this adorable card..and wow oh wow do I need to save up for the February release!!

Oh Emily! Praying for your recovery. I know its very difficult to take it easy with a youngster running around. Anyway, I love YOUR joyful spirit. What a beautiful setting (the die-cut map) for your message. Feb. 1st can't come soon enough to see all the new PS goodies.
Hope you are back to 100% soon!! It is hard for us Moms to take care of ourselves when our families need us!
Love your card today! So pretty!!
I recommend rest and crafting for a full recovery! ;D Seriously though, I hope your rib heals soon!

Love everything about this card! The colors, the design, and especially the map paper!
So excited to see I was a winner of the blog hop prize. That is amazing and I thank you so much. I sent you an email with all my information. Also what a bummer to see you are laid up too. I hope you heal really fast and that you don't have lots of pain with that rih. Thanks again…and I will try to give those stamp sets a good home.
What a cool card:) I love the woodgrain background!
