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!

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!

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!

I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life! I decided to make a card for Brandon’s Grandparents for all the wonderful things they do for us. I’ve used the Monkey Gone Bananas stamp which was designed with Brandon in mind since he is our little monkey! The little flower stamp is from the Wild About You stamp set – which I totally adore! The Thanks! sentiment is from the Thanks! stamp set. I colored everything in with Copics and finished it off with the pearls that I’m totally loving right now! I used the sketch from Jen’s Sketch For You To Try – I love this layout! Thanks Jen for all the inspiration. YNS is the sponsor for this SFYTT so why not combine your YNS challenge #4 entry with Jen’s sketch for your chance to win $10 in YNS bucks!
Since our challenges are meant to be fun and we want everyone to participate I’ve decided to allow any stamps to be used when creating your challenge card. Although I would love for you to use a YNS image so if you do your name will be entered in twice for this weeks prize which is $10 in YNS bucks to spend at the YNS store!
