YNS March Release and Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp March New Release BLOG HOP

We have some awesome new YNS stamps to show you today! These new stamps are available to buy right now from the Your Next Stamp store along with all your YNS favourites.

If you would like to participate in the hop and you didn't arrive here from Beth Ranney-Thomas's Blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the start of the hop at Simonne’s blog, as you don't want to miss these fab new releases!

The hop starts today (8 March 2011 at 08:00 EST) and ends on 11 March 2011 at midnight EST.

As always here at Your Next Stamp, we have a wonderful prize for you to win! One lucky winner will be drawn at random from the links in the linky list to receive a surprise package of new release stamps!

You will see that every stop along the hop has a linky list - this is the SAME linky list posted on every blog, so that you can enter from any stop along the hop (although we hope you will visit every blog!). The linky will update itself on everyone's blog when a link is entered - how cool is that? Please remember to only enter your name ONCE into the linky list during the hop - you do NOT need to enter your name at every stop and multiple entries will be removed. It's not a requirement for you to comment at every stop along the hop to be eligible to be entered into the prize drawing, but the DT would sure love to hear what you think of our new release creations!

Karen is also running a special 10% off promotion from today until 14 March 2011. Just enter the code YNSMARCH when checking out to apply your 10% discount. There are also some FANTASTIC special offers and promotions running over at the YNS store at the moment, so once you've finished the hop be sure to hop on over and check out the clearance sections: 35% off selected stamps - 50% off selected stamps - 60% off selected bare rubber stamps - 35% off selected embellishments - 35% off selected DP sampler packs. WOW! What a great time to grab a bargain!

For my blog hop creation I have used Butterfly Easter Basket.

I created both a card and a little basket of candy to be given as a gift in a set. The box was created by using a Scor-Pal template called Ornament Box, It was perfect for my candy basket. The DP is Stampin' up and my Ribbon was purchased at Micheal's. The Egg and Bunny button's where purchased at Hobby Lobby in the Easter Crafts section. My Sentiment is from TCP.

I added stickles around the edges to add some bling (as I always do lol). The image was colored with my Copics and I grounded it by using a black Copic Liner pen to make the ground.
