Hi there! It’s Lisa, and I’m so excited to kick off a whole new year of stamping here on the Hero Arts blog!

To get things started, I’d like to introduce the January Contest: Love & Hugs & Kisses plus a Color Challenge! Check out all the details to find out how you can win prizes!

For those of you who’ve never entered a contest before, I’d like to challenge you to enter! We have a special category for those who have never won before, plus you’ll get to meet the wonderful community of stampers in the Hero Arts Flickr group! So, what are you waiting for? This is your year!

And for those of you who have already won before, keep those entries coming! We love seeing your entries, and you can win again. After all, who couldn’t use a shopping spree for all the NEW stamps in the Hero Arts 2012 Catalog?

Now on to my card for the day! It uses some of the new Hero Arts-BasicGrey stamps and papers from the BasicGrey Kissing Booth line! I added a hint of lilac to make it perfect for the monthly theme:

Aren’t those birds just darling? I can just imagine them giving each other hugs & kisses, can’t you? And I love how the Newspaper Heart goes so well with the BasicGrey Kissing Booth line, and how the Painted People Background really gives it that vintage feeling.

Sally will be here tomorrow, and then don’t forget that this Thursday, January 5th is the big day when the 2012 Catalog goes live in the Hero Arts Online Store! Woo!

Happy New Year hugs! Wishing all of you a year of stamping fun,
