THEME: “LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS”
It’s blog hopping time again withClear Dollar Stamps! If you are coming to me from Barb’s blog (Barb’s Best Creations), then you are on the right track. If not, you will want to start at Lori’s blog, the owner of Clear Dollar Stamps.
2 lucky winners will each receive a $10 gift certificate for the Clear Dollar Stamps store for the purchase of clear or digital stamps ONLY. The winners will be randomly chosen from comments received on two design team member blogs. Winners will be announced on the Clear Dollar Stamps blog Wednesday, May 18th and on my blog as well. So be sure to leave a comment on each blog as you hop!
The theme this month was “Let’s hear it for the boys!” I am like most and don’t have a lot of masculine cards in comparison to all the “girly” cards I make. But I must say you need to check out the new digital stamps that are being released TOMORROW at Clear Dollar Stamps. There is some great designs that can be used for masculine cards and projects. I was so excited to use them that my original card for today was made with one of the awesome stamps till I remembered that they weren’t going to be released till tomorrow! That was okay though because I have been wanting to use this cute porcupine for awhile now and this was just the inspiration I needed. Hope you will find lots of inspiration as your visit each blog….I know I do!
Your next stop on the blog hop is Christi’s Blog. Thank you so much for joining in on this month’s hop! Keep leaving comments! Remember the more comments, the more chances you have to be a winner! Good Luck!
