Lili of the Valley Birthday Fairy Blog Hop!

 
 
Good morning crafters and thanks for stopping by!

Time for another Lili of the Valley blog hop and today we’re celebrating the launch of the sweet Birthday Fairies
There are 10 adorable new stamps in the set and they will be available to buy on the website from 10am on Saturday 10th May
The shop in Leeds is open that day for the Birthday celebrations, there will be lots going on and we have design team members from all over the world coming along
There will be more new products, demonstrations and special offers  ….we’re all very excited about it and it should be a really great day
Don’t worry if you can’t get to the shop because there will be some online fun too, we will let you have details nearer the time but Lucy will be on Facebook throughout the day bringing you chat, news and pictures from the shop
 
 
 
Just ‘hop’ from one blog to another following the links, hopefully we can give you lots of ideas and inspiration for using these cute new images

As always we have some hidden prizes along the way, we don’t know where they are so do be sure to visit and comment on every blog
It will be announced on the Ideas to Inspire blog on Saturday morning which were the ‘lucky’ blogs. The winners will be drawn at random from all the comments that were left on those blogs
 

We have 2 full sets of the new stamps to give away, 2 lucky winners will each get all 10 new designs
  

Here's a list of all the blogs taking part, and remember that you will need to visit them all and leave a comment on each one to have the best chance of winning;

Here’s my project. I decorated a journal using this adorable new Birthday Fairy, Fluttering. I LOVE the way this turned out. Since it's a "Birthday Fairy" I decided to use the colors of my Birthstone, Emerald. I hope you enjoy my project.

Don't forget to visit LOTV in shop or on the Facebook Page for LOTV's Huge Birthday Bash!
 







 
From here you need to visit Pops, and if you get lost you can start again at the beginning and pick the links up from there.
 
 
Finally, don’t forget to stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog on Saturday morning when you can find out who the lucky winners were of the prizes before the stamps go on sale
 
 
Enjoy the hop everyone, good luck!

Mindy,

I don't think I have the words to decribe how simply gorgeous this project is. I love everything about it - the colours, the little details, the fact that it is something a bit different. I hope you don't mind that I may 'borrow' this idea, and this image is now added to my wish list.
