LOTV Christmas blog hop …

 

 

 

Morning all, thanks for stopping by!

Time for another Lili of the Valley design team blog hop to celebrate the launch of the second set of their 2013 Christmas stamps

Jack, Patch and Puss are back, as is everyone’s favourite bear – James!

Get saving girls because you are going to love them all, not long to wait now because you can get them on the website from midday on Sunday August 25th (UK time)

***

As always you need to ‘hop’ from one blog to another following the links and leave a comment on each card, hopefully we can give you lots of ideas and inspiration along the way for using the new images

There is a fabulous prize up for grabs on the hop, we don’t know where it is hidden so do make sure you that you visit and comment on every blog

You have a couple of days to join in, we will let you know on Saturday evening which was the ‘lucky’ blog and a winner will be drawn at random from all the comments that were left on that blog

 

The prize is a whopping full set of the 20 new stamps   …that’s sure to keep you busy and help get you well on the way with your 2013 Christmas cards!!

 

Here's a list of all the blogs taking part, and remember that you will need to visit them all and leave a comment on each one to have the best chance of winning;

Here’s my card and I’ve used one of the Jack, Patch and Puss stamps

This one is called (aptly) Snowball Fight…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve also used the Krafty Christmas papers and a sentiments from Christmas Handwritten Phrases

The snow is done using DecoArt Snow Tex. It’s the first time I’ve used it and in hindsight I think I was a bit heavy handed with it, it’s quite a good effect though especially on the snowballs

Next stop on your hop is the fabulous Becky, and if you get lost you can always go back to the beginning and pick it up from there

 

Don’t forget to stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog on Saturday evening when you can find out who the lucky winner is of that great prize

 

 

Enjoy the hop everyone!
