Introducing our November Guest Designers!

Hi everyone! Before we introduce you to our November guest designers, we want to thank Stephanie and Annie Rose for being our wonderful October guests! You both made wonderful creations, thank you for all of them! Okay, now to introduce our November guests! 

 Dawn Easton

Hi there! I'm really excited to be guest stamping for YNS this month! I started stamping about 8 years ago when my daughter began school and I needed something to keep me busy. I started out with SU! and branched out to several different companies(DT's) and have been lucky enough to be on the Dirty Dozen back in 2008. It's a hobby that my family teases me about daily but I know they totally support it. I try to stamp daily if possible and if not I definitely make up for it on weekends :) I'm looking forward to getting inky with YNS and creating something that I hope you find inspirational.

and 

Shaela Odd

Hello! My name is Shaela Odd. I live in Las Vegas, NV, but I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and am a Seattle girl at heart. I love punk music, leopard print, rock climbing, and dancing in the rain. I am an incurable optimist and laugh at myself a lot. I'm passionate about my faith, my art, my family and my life. I've been married to my sweetheart for nearly 10 years and currently I'm a SAHM to our 3 darling kiddos. I love all things crafty, theatrical, literary and outdoorsy. Oh... and I have a fetish for yellow umbrellas. :)

Here is a cute little card by Shaela using Feather Duster Ellie

I can't wait to see more from the amazing ladies!  

Hugs,

Peg

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp Hop for Hope Blog Hop!  

We are releasing a very special set today in honor of breast cancer awareness month.  This set was created by YNS illustrator Fhiona Galloway, who is currently battling breast cancer herself.  We are dedicating our hop to this very special lady, along with all of the other amazing women who are fighting this difficult fight.  

We have several special guests joining us so you won’t want to miss all of the gorgeous creations!


You should have arrived here via the wonderful and talented Jenny P.'s blog but if not you'll want to start at the beginning of the hop via the fabulous and talented Suzanne's blog.
 
The Fight Like a Girl stamp set retails for $15.00 and I'm donating $3.00 from each sale towards cancer research.  

Are you ready to see what I made with this adorable stamp?

I decided to make a sparkly pink shape card...

 You've reached the end of the hop!   

Please remember to comment on all the blogs, including mine, and your name will be entered into the grand prize drawing for a YNS $20 Gift Certificate!!! 

I'll post the winner on Oct 30th
