YNS/CHA New Release Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp CHA Release BLOG HOP!



We are so excited here at YNS because Karen has taken YNS to CHA for the very first time! That's right, as you're reading this Karen will be at Winter 2011 CHA at booth #4518! WOO-HOO!!


So to celebrate this event, YNS is releasing some fab new YNS stamps just in time for CHA. You may have already caught a sneak peek of some of them last week over at the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog, but today you get to see all 9 World Kids stamps plus a fabulous new Celebrate Collection from HR Designs and 7 new mini stamps.


These new stamps are available to buy right now from the Your Next Stamp store along with all your YNS favourites.


Of course we couldn't let this release pass by without having a fun blog hop! We also have 4 fabulous guests joining us for our hop - the amazing Tori Wild, Cindy Haffner, Carole Burrage and Maylee Pham!


If you would like to participate in the hop then I am the first stop!  From here you will hop on over to Beth's Amazing Blog!

The hop starts today (28 January 2011 at 08:00 EST) and ends on 2 February 2011 at midnight EST.


As always here at Your Next Stamp, we have a wonderful prize for you to win! One lucky winner will be drawn at random from the links in the linky list to receive their choice of 3 of the new World Kids stamps!


You will see that every stop along the hop has a linky list - this is the SAME linky list posted on every blog, so that you can enter the prize draw from any stop (although we hope you will visit all the blogs on today's hop!). The linky will update itself on everyone's blog when a link is entered - how cool is that? Please remember to only enter your name ONCE into the linky list during the hop - you do NOT need to enter your name at every stop and multiple entries will be removed. It's not a requirement for you to comment at every stop along the hop to be eligible to be entered into the prize draw, but the DT would sure love to hear what you think of their new release creations!


Karen is also running some special bundle promotions, so be sure to hop on over to the YNS store once you've finished the hop. If you order all 9 World Kids stamps in one bundle, you will save 15% over the cost of buying them individually!


So onto my blog hop creations.  First up is this super sweet gal ~Miya from Japan:


I used some Basic Grey Origins dp and some gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The large butterfly was cut with the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Butterflies Die, and the small one with a Martha Stewart Punch.  Next up we have this gorgeous cake from the Heather Designs Celebrate Collection called Eat Cake and Be Merry:



I used some fun and colorful Pixie-Licious dp, some more gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and a sentiment from the Your Next Stamp set Elegant Greetings
