For your chance to win BLOG CANDY, (a set that will be released NEXT month), visit and comment on each of the following design team members' blogs TODAY. On Saturday, (November 13, 2010), a winner will be chosen from those participants who visited all the blogs listed for today. (There will be four different winners, one winner for each day of the blog hop. You DO NOT have to comment every day. However, the more days you comment, the more chances you have to win!) If you miss a day, you can go back and comment on each day's blogs, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning.

Today we are celebrating the release of two sets:  "Brick Wall" and "Bells on Bobtail."

Here are three small 3 inch square cards that I made using the "Brick Wall" stamp set.  The floral vine stamp makes a perfect background stamp.  I simply stamped the flower onto each card with the coordinating ink (Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, and Soft Suede on Crumb Cake).  I stamped the sentiments in black ink then completed the cards by adding coordinating ribbon.

For this card, I used the "Bells on Bobtail" stamp set.  I wanted to play off of the vintage feel of the sleigh and horse image, so I used vintage-style patterned papers by October Afternoon.  I stamped the image in black, then used Tim Holtz Distress inks to give the image an aged look.  To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment and added a snowflake made with a Martha Stewart punch.

Head over to the Mark's Finest Papers Blog to view the order of today's Blog Hop.

Join us tomorrow for day 2 of the hop!
