Ladybug Crafts Ink Christmas Blog Hop!

Merry Christmas everyone! 


Well ok not for another 6 months but it is the Ladybug Crafts Ink Christmas Blog Hop!  Woohoo!!  Its so exciting!  Grab a cuppa this is a long one!

We are having a blog hop today to celebrate the release of a brand new set of Christmas Stamps from the fabulous Kerry!  There are 4 stamp sets in total and you will LOVE them all! There will be lots of chances to win a prize but more of that later. 

First of all you should have arrived here from the gorgeous Tams. To start from the beginning head back to the Challenge blog.  After me you need to head over to the fabulous Anita.

 

I was given "Sledding Fun" to play with and boy I had a lot of fun! The inspiration for my projects today came from the Rosemary Merry retreat I did back in April.  This is my first:

 

It was pretty difficult to photograph this but I hope you get the sense of it. Not sure what you call it!  I layered up my card and then made a pocket for all my tags to add to the centre of the card. The pocket is made from several pieces of thick card which I made leaving 3 openings for the tags. You could leave secret messages on these if you wish!  Then I added one of the sentiments from the stamp set and then of course the image.

So a blog hop wouldnt be complete without a second project from me!  Here it is:

I had a whole other project lined up!  I was doing a small canvas project but it all went wrong at the last minute!  So did this Christms notebook instead, which does look much better in real life! 

I hope you like both of my projects! I had a lot of fun making them.  None of the DT have seen each other's projects so I can't wait to see what everyone else has done! So now, onto the details!

The first chance you have of winning a prize is by doing the hop.  Here are the rules:

• Visit each of the DT members in order and leave a comment on each of their blog hop posts.
• Leave a comment on the challenge blog stating which is your most favourite of the new images once you have finished the hop. 
• Display the blog hop banner (which is on my side bar) on your blog, either in a post or on your side bar.

The First Prize is the full set of all 4 stamps and then 5 runners up will receive one stamp of their choice from the new release. Winner and runners up will be chosen at random!

The second chance of winning a prize is to take part in the challenge this week is has been set by the uber talented Amanda and it is:

"Christmas in June"

So you have 2 ways to win a prize .. you can just play along with the hop or enter the challenge .. and for the brave you can do both!

And if you don't win.. you can still enjoy the stamps at a discount price as the stamps will be on sale from today from the LCI Store for £5.50 ( Normal RRP £6.50) till 5th July.

Phew!  Are you still with me!  I hope I haven't forgotten anything otherwise Lisa will be on the warpath!  Don't forget you now need to head over to Anita.
Have lots of fun! 

Love
