Welcome to the YNS Scrapfest Blog Hop!! If you came here from Karen's Blog, you are in the right place, if not you may want to click back to the beginning for more inspiration and more chances to win some awesome prizes.

Just like earlier this fall, Karen was approached by Lisa (owner of ScrapFest in Ontario) to design an exclusive Your Next Stamp stamp for this year's Spring Scrap fest!!! How exciting!!!

In honor of this event, we the team are sharing creations we made with this spring's stamp: Shopper Fhiona!! and last fall's Cropper Fhiona!! which are only available during the actual Scrapfest Event! If you can't make Scrapfest in Ontario, Karen has generously offered you the opportunity to purchase them online!!

And....there are chances to win these two awesome stamps available only April 8-10!!!

If you hop along with us, you will be entered in the draw to win both ScrapFest exclusive stamps. NB If you purchase one or both of these stamps this weekend and then find you are the lucky winner of the prize draw, you will be given a $6 or $12 gift certificate to spend at the store as your blog hop prize.

As both these stamps are only available to buy for a very limited time (8-10 April 2011), Karen is offering both stamps at a special price of $6 each with FREE SHIPPING - use code SF2011 when checking out. So...if you order any stamps during the duration of the hop, it is free shipping!!!

Here are my creations:

This creation uses the adorable Scrapfest Shopper Fhiona (this year's spring Scrapfest release). Isn't she darling!!! I colored her with copics and popped her up on an embossed background framed by a Spellbinder's Lacey circles and classic circles dies. The dp is from K and Co.'s Susan Winget collection.

The inside of the card uses a sentiment from Shopper Fhiona.

For my next creation, I used the adorable and fun image, Cropper Fhiona!!!

The sentiment is so fun and one I typed after I received a pad which used this saying on it from my dear friend Grace. Oh how true. "A good friend helps you shop for stamp supplies....But a true friend helps you hide them when you get home." I colored my image with copics and used paper from Basic Grey Green At Heart. The image is framed with Lacey circles from Spellbinders.

Now it is time to hop on to my talented dt sister: Beth's Blog!!!
