New Release Day 2 – Mini Fhiona!

Posted by: YNS on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at 4:00 am

Welcome to YNS New Release Day 2! YIPPEE!!!

When I was thinking about how to introduce New Release Day 2 the first thing that came to mind was…

HONEY, I SHRUNK FHIONA!!!!

Yep, I shrunk Fhiona to make this fabulous new line of Mini Fhiona stamps!!! There are 10 Mini Fhiona’s as well as a Mini Greetings set that comes complete with 21 Mini Greetings and 18 Mini Images to compliment the Mini Fhiona stamps. My sister Robin said to me one day…wouldn’t it be cool to be able to punch Fhiona out for gift tags? It’s obvious that I said YES and got to work with Fhiona right away! I’ve been working on this idea since last December so needless to say I am super excited about this release! These mini’s are perfect for punches and small dies,gift tags as well cards, scrapbooking and much more!!!

Here are the fabulous creations the Starlet Design Team came up with…I love them all!!!! These gals are so talented and I’m grateful for all the hard work and effort they put in to bring us all this eye candy! Thank you Starlets!!!

Simonne – Mini Yippee Fhiona

Cabio – Mini Mermaid

Kerri – Mini Rainy Day Fhiona

Maylee – Mini Cupcake Cutie Fhiona

Amy – Mini Flying High Fhiona

Maureen – Mini Bubbly Fun Fhiona

Angela – Mini Fairy Fhiona

Also available but not shown is Mini Party Fhiona, Mini Bad Hair Day Fhiona and Mini Shopper Fhiona.

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!
