Yippee!!! Today is the day for the Blog Hop and Release!! We have 8 beautiful Spring Time stamps designed by the talented Crissy Armstrong and 5 fun and whimsical stamps designed by Cris de Lara.You should have arrived here from the lovely Inge's blog but if not why not go to the start of the hop which is over at the Wags 'n Whiskers blog.
Make sure to leave comments during the Hop because there will be prizes!! Four blogs will be hosting candy...but you won't know which one...so leave a comment on all of them!!
Four lucky winners will get their choice of two (2) stamps from this release!!!
At 12pm GMT/7am EST, the stamps will go live!
All of the images for this release are IN STOCK and ready to be shipped.
Here are the pictures which inspired Crissy to draw this sweet design as shown on my project today. This design is so special to me as it features a younger Zoe with her very much loved Snuzzle Bunny. Zoe was only a few months old when her and Snuzzle couldn't be parted. Even now at 9 Zoe will snuggle Snuzzles at bedtime and will cry if she can't find him. Snuzzle No1 ;-) did actually get lost on a shopping trip when Zoe was around two. She was devasted but luckily I managed to buy another of the Playskool retired bunny from Ebay and after a flight from the US Zoe opened the package and was told that someone had found him and posted him back :-)I decorated this little box for Zoe to keep her special keepsakes in. Snuzzle Love is coloured with Prismacolor papers with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. The beads were my bargain find and were about 25p for a few hundred from Sainsbury's.
I am so excited as the next stop on the hop is the fabulous girls over at Totally Papercrafts Challenge. I am so excited and can't wait to see their creations today :-)
The blog hop will remain open all weekend and will close on Monday 12pm GMT/7amEST. Don't forget there is also still time to help us Spread the word and be entered into the drawing to win the full release - 13 stamps here!!!
Have a wonderful weekend and happy hopping!

Oh such a sweet stamp! Your bokx is gorgeous and the stamp coloring is soo good!
This is adorable, and so is the story of Zoe and Snuzzle. My friend's daughter had a doll called 'Leggy' that went missing. Thankfully a replacement was tracked down and then had to be aged with a few trips through the washing machine. Leggy 2 was always refered to by my friend and her husband as Dopplegannger Leggy! Jo x

Your work is AMAZING as always!!! I love the way you used the letter beads. I have some of those from my elementary days that I really didn't know what to do with except let my daughter use them. You just gave me a great idea!!!!!!Thanks for the inspiration!
How sweet and the box is perfect.
Love the purple and green, such a cute image
It was the bunny that drew my eye & the background info so special. I always said I'd have crocuses & this colour scheme if I got married - by the time I did I'd forgotten & it was the wrong time of year.
