Well, yesterday I got a little more time to stamp in between washing 3 loads of towels. And that's a week's worth for us! I think it was every towel we own. That's what happens when you have a house full of girls! One of the cards I made (YES, I made 2!--I'll post the other one tomorrow) was this cute little skating birthday card for our November New Release Hop for Your Next Stamp.

We are so excited this month because we are introducing ANOTHER new illustrator to the YNS family ~ Macy Wong! Her images are so super sweet and we know you are just going to love them! We also have some adorable new Franfou images, and Mabel Designs! To start the hop, head on over to Kerri’s Blog--You won't want to miss a thing!
For my card, I used the new set, Joy with this cute skating girl, illustrated by Macy Wong. Lindsie wants to go ice skating for her birthday, so I had her in mind as I was making it. I borrowed the birthday sentiment from another new set, Sing Song Robin. I thought it was just the right size for where I stamped it!
Ok, here's a little more info about this month's release:
--We have 3 new release prizes hidden along the hop! You must leave comments on all of the DT blogs to qualify for the prize drawing. You have until Friday, November 9th at 12 midnight (EST) and the winners will be posted on the YNS Blog on Saturday, November 10th.
--Karen is also offering a fabulous Hop Special ~ 15% off your entire purchase including sale items! The code is YNSNOV2012. She also has some great bundle deals and some awesome steals in the YNS Bargain Bin!
Now it's time to hop on over to Jen R.'s Blog, but don’t forget to leave me a comment before you go! Happy Hopping!
