We will let you know tomorrow morning which were the ‘lucky’ blogs and the winners will be drawn at random from all the comments that were left on those blogs

We have 2 full sets of the new stamps to give away, 2 lucky winners will each get all 10 new designs and there will be a 3^rd prize of a clear set of our baby companion stamps 

  
All the LOTV girls are taking part, except Mindy who is busy at the minute. 
Remember that you will need to visit them all and leave a comment
 on each one to have the best chance of winning.

 You should have arrived here from the lovely Elise's blog

Here's my card,

My Birthday Cake

LOTV Sneak Peek ~ Just Arrived

Good Morning,

I have another Sneak Peek from LOTV to share today.

I was so chuffed to see this one appear on Create & Craft a few weeks back,

when our lovely Dawny was on.

This sweet image is aptly called 

JUST ARRIVED

I think it would also be perfect for Baby's first Christmas or Birthday.

 I have also used, Beach Bliss 8x8 pad, from LOTV

(I adore their Raspberry Road collection)

For You ~ Circular Sentiments 
Handwritten Phrases 

Also . . .

I have some exciting news for you today, the Lili of the Valley Ideas to Inspire blog and stamp range have both been nominated for an award!!

They have been shortlisted for the 2014 British Craft Awards and what we would love you all to do is to  visit www.britishcraftawards.com, click on the vote in craft categories and then vote for Lili of the Valley in 'Most Inspirational Craft Blog' and 'Stamp Range You Couldn't Resist'  It would be amazing if they won, especially when it’s voted for by you, the lovely customers

Thanks for your lovely comments

Baby's first Christmas.

Good Evening, 

sorry I'm late with this post, our internet has been playing up for weeks now,

 it decides if it wants to play or not!

I have some ever, so exciting news to share,

A few weeks back I got an Email from Franz asking me to join the 

Deep Ocean Challenge DT

of course I said yes!

I am so honoured to be part of the very talented team,

Thanks for having me.

This fortnight the theme is

FOR A BABY 

I have used this gorgeous LOTV image, 

 THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

It's available here, it is from an earlier collection, but still so sweet.

I didn't have a suitable stamp, so printed it out on the PC.

I hope you can join in this fortnight.
