Posted by: YNS on Monday, January 11, 2010 at 12:17 am

I’m so excited for our first 2010 blog hop which starts on January 21st!

Wanna chance to win some YNS stamps???

Starlet Simonne has created this fabulous blinkie for us and we need your help to spread the word about this fantastic new release!

The winner of the blinkie contest will get a YNS stamp of choice from the YNS Store!

Our hop theme is Rock Stars and Vacations so to enter the blog hop blinkie contest you need to do the following…

1. Grab our blinkie code from the side bar and put it on your blog

2. Comment below letting me know that you have put the blinkie on your blog

Wanna double your chance at winning???

Did you say “YES” – I thought so!

Ok so first you need to follow the steps above PLUS post a pic and a short blurb about your favourite vacation destination and/or favourite rock band. The last stop on the hop will be Starlet Simonne and she will have Mr.Linky set up so you can add your post for a second entry into the contest – be sure to look for all the instructions on her blog during the hop that starts on January 21st. The Starlets will be sharing their stories with you during the hop too! FUN!

Don’t have a blog? No worries! Just post your vacation/rock band story below and let me know that you don’t have a blog. You’ll be instructed to link your name to the YNS challenge blog when linking to Mr. Linky during the hop. That will be considered your second entry for the blinkie contest.

I also want to tell you about our YNS Fan Club! We’ve moved our Yahoo group to SNR Universe and we would love for you to hop on over and join us! It’s so easy to share photos and messages – I love this new group!

Thank you to everyone for participating in our 3rd New Release blog hop!! I hope you enjoyed visiting all the Starlets blogs as much as I did! All the creations were fabulous! The Starlets try and keep their creations a secret so when I hop I’m seeing them for the first time and it’s always so much fun! Fantastic job ladies!

Also a big thanks to everyone for helping us spread the word by placing our blog hop blinkie on your blog – if you noticed the adorable blinkie stopped blinking yesterday it’s because all of you helped us reach our max bandwidth which is awesome because that means we has lots of people checking out the hop! Look for our super cute January blog hop blinkie soon! We’ve added more bandwidth so this time your blinkie will keep blinking – YAY!

Congratulations to our hop winner!!!

Trish Miles

Please email me with your 6 new release stamp choices along with your mailing address – YAY!

My first scrapbook page!

Yep you read that right! I love stamping and card making but something I had never actually tried until now is scrapbooking! I had so much fun making this Halloween page for my Mom to add to her 2009 scrapbook. I used some new release stamps { Betsy, Lady Buggie} as well as some other fun YNS stamps from the Monkey Gone Bananas set, the Happy Halloween Fhiona set and the Trick or Treat Fhiona set.

Be sure to check back here tomorrow for YNS Challenge #6! I’m so excited to show everyone my card! It’s Starlet Kerri’s turn to host our challenge and she has an amazing sketch for you to try that you won’t want to miss!

Have a super day!
