Hi...ooh it's lovely to be Friday and
time for another Lili of the Valley design team blog hop
 and today we’re celebrating our first launch of 2014...
There are 10 adorable new stamps in the set
 featuring the hugely popular James the Bear 
and some more of our newest cute characters; Jack, Patch and Puss

The stamps will be available to buy
 on the website from midday (UK time) on Monday 13th January
The shop in Leeds is open this Saturday 10 – 4
 and you will also be able to buy them there is you are going along
*
Just ‘hop’ from one blog to another following the links
 and leave a comment on each card,
 hopefully we can give you lots of ideas
 and inspiration for using these cute new images...

As always we have some hidden prizes along the way,

 we don’t know where they are
 so do be sure to visit and comment on every blog...
We will let you know on Monday 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...

Here's a list of all the blogs taking part,
 and remember that you will need to visit them all
 and leave a comment on each one
 to have the best chance of winning;
Becky 

for my make i have used the very sweet image
""" Just a Note """
 

coloured these two with VersaColor cubes
and the grass/background with distress markers
over stamped with an Alphabet stamp and used
it on the little blue cloud too
i use these word stamps so much :)
 die cut a star button and note paper edge,
used a couple of brads,paper clip and a button...

Next stop is our lovely Mary J
 and if you get lost you can start again
 at the beginning and pick the links up from there...

Finally, don’t forget to stop by the Ideas to Inspire Blog

 before the stamps go on sale...
 Enjoy the hop everyone, good luck!
