Your Next Stamp's 2nd Birthday Blog Hop!!!


Hello and welcome to Your Next Stamp's 2nd Birthday Blog Hop!!!  We are so happy you are here celebrating with us and our wonderful guest designers!  If you have just stumbled across my blog and want to join in all the fun and games you can go to the start at Peggy's blog.  I am the second stop on the hop:) 

I feel so fortunate that I have been on this amazing Design Team since the very beginning!  Karen is the SWEETEST woman and so wonderful to work with/for!  I have loved every moment!  In honor of YNS' 2nd Birthday each DT member has 2 cards to share~ one using a new release image, and one using an older image.  Here are my projects:


I had to make a birthday card, and I used one of my very favorite sets called Ellie Loves to Bake.  Isn't she just the cutest?!  I used some My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky dp and computer generated the sentiment.  The number 2 is a PTI die. 


Next I have one of the brand new images called Just Sitting Here~ACK so CUTE!!!  Doesn't he just make you smile?  I used some My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Fly A Kite dp, and the sentiment comes with the image. 

What is a birthday party with out games and some AMAZING prizes?  Well we have a fun little puzzle for you to solve along the hop and when you do you will be entered into the draw for one of TWO amazing YNS prizes!  Not everyone has a puzzle piece so you need to pay attention.  Click on the puzzle pieces, and follow the directions as you find them along the way. [3rd party cookies must be enabled to do the puzzle]  When you are done put them all together at the end of the hop for your chance to win!  You have until Monday, August 15th at Midnight EST.  These are the prizes up for grabs:






There are also lots of amazing deals right now in the YNS store to celebrate and you don't need any code! The next stop on the hop is Cindy Haffner's Blog! Good luck and happy hopping!

    The papers you used to layer the Ellie loves to bake card are absolutely gorgeous! And I love the stitching as well! Your second card is fantastic as well! I like how the first card has a ton of color, but this one focuses on the 3 main colors, well, 4 including white. Very creative!

    Gorgeous patterns and colors on your first card and I adore how you added the '2' - ADORABLE!

    I can't say enough about your second card. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The colors are perfect, the flower and buttons, the pattern you picked, all of it - super awesome card. (innocently right clicks image, selects 'save image as' and saving to my favs folder lol).
    Great work!
