Stamp Something Celebration Blog Hop!!!!

*Because blogger was a pain...had to re-type up my whole post AGAIN!! ACK!!*
(Please be aware that due to blogger problems, some of the DT may not have their posts up yet.)

Hello friends and welcome to the
Stamp Something Celebration Blog Hop!!!
 Can you believe that Stamp Something is celebrating THREE whole years?!!  
I am very excited to be apart of the team to celebrate this special  celebration with them and we would like for all of you to be apart of it as well!!  We have some special give-aways as there is a different company sponsoring every single DT member on their blogs...so don't miss a single chance for several different prizes including a grand prize on the Stamp Something Challenge blog as long as you join in our theme this week with an easy peasy challenge of
"Anything Goes!!"

So let's get started!  If have come here by the way of the lovely Lisa C.'s Blog, then you have come to the right place!  If you are just starting out on this blog hop or have gotten lost, please go the very beginning of the blog hop at the Stamp Something Challenge Blog!!  So let's have some fun!! :)

I am so thrilled to have this company sponsoring my blog for this blog hop celebration!!
I happen to also be a Sr. DT member of this company and here's a bit about them:
"Inky Impressions is a rubber stamp company carrying images of the cutest little girls and animals. The inspiration of the stamps comes from the owner Nicole's little girl, MarLeigha (LiLi).  Each Wednesday Inky Impressions has an Inky challenge hosted by their own Inkettes and if you participate each week, you are eligible to win a special goodie bag from the store at the end of the month. You can also catch some daily inspiration from all of the Inkettes on the Inky Impressions Inspirational Blog!  Come play along with the fun and get inky..we dare ya!"
Here's my creation made with one of the darling Inky Impressions stamps and with the Stamp Something theme of "anything goes":
Oh look at those eyes!!  Isn't she just precious?!  This stamp is one of my faves and is called Fairy Lili.  The sentiment that matches also comes from store as well!!  I think she looks perfect with the pinks and sparkle all over!  I've used some of my new die cuts and the butterfly ribbon!  (The butterfly is already attached to the ribbon, I've just added some flowers to it so it wouldn't be so plain.)  I've got some distressing with my inks around the edges and I've added lots of sparkle with the glitter on her wings, around her and along the ground and edges of some of the other panels.  **Nicole has a special show pricing going on right now on all of the stamps, so you might want to check out the store and grab up some of these at the low prices while you still can!**

Here are some other challenges that I've entered this card for:
Magical Monday - awesome sketch (must use magical image)
One Stop Craft - birthdays
2 Sisters - distressing
Creative Inspiration - Glitzy and Bling
Paper Sundaes - Magical & Mythical
Sentimental Sundays - anything goes (with sentiment)
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - all things beautiful (add embellishments)
Tuseday Throwdown - die cuts (flourish scrolls)
Dutch Dare - Winged Things
Craft Us Crazy - Fave embellishment (flowers) and something new (die cuts/ribbon)

The generous sponsor of the Stamp Something Blog Hop Celebration for my blog has a little something special for one of the lucky winners who sign up on my blog....
Now how awesome is this?!!!  If you sign up in the collection below, you will be entered into a drawing from my blog to receive TWO rubber stamps (1 animal and 1 girl stamp) and some fabulous goodies directly from the Inky Impressions store!!  (Please note that the ribbon colors and embellishments may vary.)
**Important to know about prize drawing:  You will have from now until Thursday, May 19th at 5:00 PM (CST) to enter this drawing on my blog.  The winner will be announced the following day, Friday, May 20th when I will post my Stamp Something creation for the next challenge.  So please be sure to check back on my blog to see if you are a winner!!**



So please be sure that you enter this blog candy BEFORE you hop along to the next blog!!
Are you ready to keep hopping?!!  Then you will next need to go to the lovely Alex's Blog!!
Thanks so much for joining with us in our celebration!! Hope you have fun and good luck!!
