Let's Celebrate! with DigiStamps4Joy

***************

Welcome to the Digistamps4Joy CELEBRATIONS. We are celebrating our 100th Blog Challenge with a Blog Hop running from 3 – 16 September 2014, a month long challenge, and ad hoc prizes during the month .

Our first challenge on our new blog was on the 23rd February 2012, and we are thrilled to still have you as our 'fans' after 2 and a half years! As a big THANK YOU to all of you, we are holding a BLOG HOP where you can win many prizes, including more of our fabulous digistamps! We have some new releases we are showcasing and which will be given away to some lucky followers. If you enter our challenge, you again put yourself in line to win more of our digistamps. And to top it all off, Margy will be throwing in some ad hoc prizes and discounts on the main DS4J blog (http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com) during September! Join with us as we CELEBRATE!

You have arrived at Julie O's blog in NW Wisconsin, USA! I have been on the DigiStamps4Joy team for just about 6 months now, and I am continually overwhelmed at the talent and friendship of this team.  I am blessed!

Fabulous HOP Prizes

1. DS4J is offering 6 new digistamps as prizes on six of the DT member’s blogs to a randomly drawn follower of that blog and who has left a comment. The other DT member blogs will be giving away a previously released digistamp, also to a randomly drawn follower and commenter! In addition, some of the blog owners may have personal prizes which are only applicable to the country they live in. So come on in, meet our fabulous Design Team, and have some fun!

2. The main DS4J blog is also giving away 100 REWARD POINTS during the Hop to one lucky winner, which can be spent in the Digistamps4Joy store(www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop)! Now isn’t that a fabulous prize?

There are some rules for winning these prizes, so make sure you read these below!

Blog Hop Navigation

If you landed on my page first, you may want to start at the top at the Digistamps4Joy blog, and work your way though to the final stop (Zella’s blog). The full hop order is listed on the main DS4J blog.

 Speaking of celebrations, I've got a card to show you that I made just for this occasion:

I used the DigiStamps4Joy digi "Celebration Cake" on this card. One lucky commenter will win this digi!

 I colored the image with Copic markers and sponged the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Spun Sugar.  I used several Spellbinders dies on this card.  Papers are from Pink Paislee -- Soiree Collection 12x12.  The ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM. It is from the Tie Dye 2 Bundle. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart. A We R Memory Keepers Corner Scallop Chomper was used on the corners. The stick pin is from Pinque Peacock. I finished the card with some Skittles.

Here's a closeup of the colored "Celebration Cake Image:
