LOTV Blog Hop & 3 Fab New DT's!!!

Good morning everyone and thanks for stopping by .. and for those here living in the U.S.  .. Happy 4th of July!!!!!

Today we are holding a Lili of the Valley design team blog hop to celebrate the launch of their gorgeous Summer stamps!  There are 10 new designs including fairies, flowers and also some that are a little bit different!

The stamps will be available to buy on the website from midday UK time on Monday 8th July and will be launched in their Leeds shop on Saturday 6th if you are near enough to visit. :)

The LOTV design team are all joining in and you may have noticed that there are some new names on the list!  We’re all thrilled to welcome our new teamies   ...it’s the very fabulous Kim Piggott, Becky Hetherington and Debbie Dolphin!!  Woot woot!

You just 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 are some great prizes up for grabs on this hop, we don’t know where they are hidden so do make sure you that you visit and comment on every blog.
We will let you know tomorrow evening which were the ‘lucky’ blogs and the winners will be drawn at random from all the comments that were left on those blogs.
 1st prize
The full set of 10 new stamps
 2nd prize
4 new perfectly pretty stamps
 3rd prize
3 new flower stamps
 4th prize
3 new fairy stamps

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 as we don’t know where the prizes are hidden:
  
Dena
Elise ... you are here


My card is using the beautiful "Sunflowers" from the upcoming gorgeous release, along with "Set 66 - Grunge Elements" and "Set 67 Grunge Swirls" added to the side of the Sunflowers frame.  I've also stamped the musical sheet from "Set 46 - Background Bits - Notes" onto the ripped portion of my papers.



The pull out tag features "Set 44 Statements - Just to Say" (So Sorry).  And I've added a couple of the gorgeous tags from "Set 50 Tags Madame".

Your next stop is the gorgeous Fleur  ....and if you get lost along the way you can start again at the Ideas to Inspire blog

Don’t forget to also stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog tomorrow evening when you can find out who the lucky winners are of those great prizes

Enjoy the Hop and Good Luck!!!  Have fun on your 4th of July .. be safe!!!  :)

Big Hugs,
Elise
