LOTV Sneak Peek and Designers Mini Hop!!


Welcome to the Lili of the Valley Designers Mini Hop!!  We have a very special treat for you today because not only will we be showing you several different ways to use a single stamp, but it is also our very first sneaky peek day for the March Lili of the Valley release.  Yes, that’s right, another release from LOTV to be available for sale starting March 28th!!!

 
 The image we are using today is called “Shall We Dance”.   This release will be filled with adorable bears, cute couples, and some very new and different designs from Lili of the Valley.  Keep your eyes on the Design Team’s blogs for more sneak peeks in the next few weeks.

Lili of the Valley AND  Which Craft of the UK are our sponsors for this hop.  We will be giving away 4 amazing prizes!!!  Which Craft is a store that carries an amazing variety of shaped cards!!   

All you have to do is leave a comment on each of the participating designer’s blogs.  We will then choose 4 winners from our mystery prize blogs on Friday.

Here is a list of the designers participating in this hop:

Bev
Dena
Fleur
Anne
Dawny
Pops

Do you love the image? I think it is too sweet!  I had to go with a paper with black in it for my little bears jacket, so I grabbed some very old Bo Bunny papers! I colored them with distress inks and added my very favorite embellishments ever.......... Wild Orchid Crafts!!!  I added a little bit of stickles here and there and whaa la! Done!  I hope you like it!

Thank you so much for playing along with our little hop today!

Hugs, Dena
