InStyles Blog hop

It's monthly blog hop time with the InStyle Stamps team. Every month our blog hops have a theme and this month it is Autumn or Fall. There is a prize for commenting and voting ... a $25 goodie bag from ISS. Check out the InStyle Stamps blog for more details, and a full list of the blog hoppers.

If you are following hop you should have arrived from Kimme ... if you haven't then you can start the blog hop from the InStyles blog.

I decided to go with the Harvest aspect of Autumn, and used this fab digi stamp,  Harvest Veggies for my project.  I have made a folder with harvest recipes in it.

I coloured in the image and then cut it out.  The folder is made from 1 peice of A4 paper, scored at 21/2" and 8".  I have no idea what the dp is, I got it loose in a craft shop.  I added gingham ribbon and a bow .. .the ribbon has the same burgundy colour as the dp running through it.  I used my sizzix die to cut the label and added some more ribbon.

Inside are some recipe sheets, each having Harvest Veggies on it.


Thanks to the folks over at Glue Arts, all of our projects this week are held together with some really great adhesives. Our designers all received packs of goodies from Glue Arts, including the Glue Glider Pro  and/or refills, 3D Adhesive foam, Mini Adhesive Squares, and Ribbon Adhesive. We're giving you a chance to get in on the Glue Arts fabulousness, too - we're giving away a prize pack from the generous Glue Arts team.  Simply leave a comment on every new release post we have this week(starting Monday 20th September) - some days will have one post and some will have two.  We'll give you until Sunday, September 26th at 12:00 PM EST to get all of your commenting done, and we'll announce the winner on Sunday afternoon.

And if THAT wasn't enough, we are going to give away some digi images, too! At the end of the week we'll choose two random commenters from all of the comments on our designers' InStyle Stamps posts this week and give each of you a free digital image. So, the more comments you leave on the designer's InStyle Stamps posts this week the more chances you have to win! The winners will be announced on Sunday the 26th. 

And don't forget InStyle Stamps are hosting a challenge for the Operation Write Home Birthday Bash!  You can find all the details here ... Birthday Chloe and the chanmce to win 4 digis is up for grabs!
