YNS' 3rd Birthday Hop!

Hello! We have a special Blog Hop this month because Your Next Stamp is celebrating its 3rd Birthday!!! We are so excited about this milestone, and we have some fun and ADORABLE projects to share with you today!  Congratulations on 3 years Karen!!!

Photobucket

We are making this hop even more fun, because we have put together a scavenger hunt! Each DT member and guest has a bold, colored letter on her blog. Collect all the letters and unscramble them to find the special saying. Once you do that, e-mail Karen at karen@yournextstamp.com and you will qualify for the $25 YNS shopping spree GRAND PRIZE!!!

We also have 3 special new release prize packs hidden along the hop. Just leave comments along the way to win!
You have until August 9th at 12 midnight EST to play along and the winners will be announced August 10th on the YNS Blog!

On to my projects:
I got to play with the new camping set, "The Great Outdoors"!   There are so many different ways that you can use this set - think beyond camping.  First up a "just because" or thank you card...
I was inspired by these pics from Pinterest.

How about a graduation card?

So what is a Birthday party without a Birthday card?  I created a card using Kai from Hawaii - this little guy reminds me of my sons who surf in about 6 inches of water!


Plus, a party needs presents...we have some awesome specials at the YNS Store! Everyone will receive a FREE scratch card with every purchase all month long or while supplies last! Every card is a WINNER!
Also receive 25% off your order August 6th-August 10th! Online code is HAPPY
Karen has just improved the YNS Store website, so make sure you check it out! We now have larger thumbnails so you can see these adorable images even better!

Now it’s time to hop on over to Wendy R’s fantabulous blog, but before you go, don’t forget about the scavenger hunt! My letter is A.  Happy hopping!
Smiles,
Julie
