Summer Fun

Posted by: YNS on Monday, September 21, 2009 at 11:09 am

Well it was bright and sunny all weekend so I was in the mood to create a summer fun card to share with you today 🙂

The image is Summer Fun Fhiona – isn’t she just darling? I stamped her with memento black ink on Prism Simply Smooth White paper and cut her out with my square nesties and then colored her in with my Copics. The dp is from our Blossoms and Butterflies collection and the pearls/gems are from the new Prima Marketing collection – I love all the different colors of pearls! The butterfly is made with the Martha Stewart butterfly punch and then I added little crystals to make it sparkle 🙂

Plus we have so many FUN things going on here at YNS I thought I would take time today to list all the ways you can win free stamps!!!

Halloween Sneaky Peeky!

Posted by: YNS on Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 11:09 am

Here’s a little sneaky peeky of our new Halloween line! I just couldn’t resit coloring this adorable little ghostie trick or treater pink so it’s a totally non traditional Halloween card but I love the way it turned out!

The image is from Alicia {a new to YNS illustrator} and she just loves to create fun images that make people smile and laugh out loud. She is a welcome addition to YNS and I’m sure you will just adore her entire Halloween collection! These images will be released during our Sept 23rd blog hop 🙂

The little candies on the card are from Trick or Treat Fhiona and the dp is a sparkly Halloween paper from Doodle Bug {which I love} called Candy Sticks and as you can see from the side view I was in a mood to pop everything off the card 🙂 FUN!

Be sure to check all the AMAZING cards posted on YNS DT blogs! Stephanie has a little sneaky peeky of the new Fhiona so be sure to stop by and take a look 🙂

Also I am so excited about our challenge blog so be sure to hop on over and check it out! Fun challenges will be starting in October 🙂 YAY!

Hope you enjoy your day!

Hugs

and that means my family goes apple picking!!! FUN! I love this time of year! Although I’m really going to miss the HOT summer days 🙂 I guess I’ll just have to stamp a card with Summer Fun Fhiona to keep near by when I’m missing the beach weather! LOL

To celebrate apple picking season I’m sharing this sneaky peeky card today of our super cute image of a little girl with apples 🙂 I love this image and can’t wait to show you all the other fun new releases on Sept. 23rd!!! We’ve got Fall, Christmas, more Halloween and a few new Fhiona stamps coming your way! Plus the YNS store is now loaded with fun new Christmas DP and goodies so be sure to check it all out!

Oh how I love when UPS shows up at Your Next Stamp! That’s right UPS dropped off some fun things yesterday that I’ll be posting to the store very soon!

I just love green and blue together! Such nice winter colors 🙂 Almost as much as I love baubles! You’ve probably noticed that I bauble almost everything! This card is my sneaky peeky card of the day and yes, it has baubles on it! You’ll see lots of fun new things on this card. The tree stamp will be released as part of a larger set on September 23rd during our super fun blog hop – remember to mark your calendars! The picture doesn’t show this very well but the snow on the trees is all puffy – COOL! I finally got some of that fun Liquid Applique in for the store so look for that soon! Plus that pretty DP will be available in the YNS store as well 🙂

Be sure to check out yesterdays post as well for a fun little contest.

LOL

Sneaky Peeky Fun!

Well you might be thinking WOW Karen has some busy card going on here 🙂 You’re right I do and it’s for our little sneaky peeky game today!

The card posted has some stamps that belong to a new Fhiona set but I’m not showing you Fhiona, I’ll let the DT do that during the HUGE new release blog hop happening on September 23rd so mark your calenders and tell all your friends because this is one blog hop you will not want to miss!!!

If you want a chance to win this new stamp set plus a $10 YNS gift certificate than all you have to do is post a comment telling me what the 4 stamps are that you see on the card plus post the name of the designer paper I used (hint..you can find the DP in the store) then I’ll do a random draw for the winner on Sept 23rd! FUN!

Also remember to check out our new Yahoo Group HERE! All members that join and introduce themselves are entered into a draw for a $20 YNS gift certificate 🙂

I’ll be back Friday with another little sneaky peeky!

Hugs

A little sneaky peeky at what’s coming this month!!!

Ok so I couldn’t resist sharing this picture with you! Spa Babe is the name of my fantasy football team and this picture is my team logo 🙂 This is Brandon when he was a wee baby in his Spa Baby bath!!!

The draft went very well and my ‘firm butt’ theory proved to be a success 🙂 Let the games begin!!! lol

There was a lot of chitter chatter going on amongst the DT this weekend and I’m sure all of you will be very pleased with all the cool stuff we are planning!!!

Our challenge blog will be set up soon so keep your eyes open for that announcement plus a super fun new release blog hop is coming your way this month!!! I’ll have more details on that very soon!
