Your Next Stamp 'Fall into Halloween' BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp 'Fall into Halloween' BLOG HOP!  I'm sure you've guessed from the title that we're showcasing some fabulous new YNS Fall and Halloween stamps today! These new stamps are available to buy right now from the Your Next Stamp store along with all your YNS favourites.

Not only do we have a fantastic blog hop for you, but today is also the official start of the new YNS DT term and I'm super excited to be on the team for this current term! Today is also a YNS Challenge day too, so we've combining our hop creations with our YNS Challenge #24 creations!  [YNSC24 will run for 2 weeks as per usual (September 1-14) and although the DT have used Fall and Halloween stamps, the theme for this challenge is 'Anything Goes'.]

If you would like to participate in the hop and you didn't arrive here from Crystal's blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the start of the hop at the YNS Challenge blog, as you don't want to miss these fab new releases!
The hop starts today (Wednesday September 1st at 03:00 EST) and ends on Monday September 6th at midnight EST.

As always, here at Your Next Stamp, we have some wonderful prizes for you to win!  Two lucky winners will be drawn at random to each receive a new release stamp package, but please make sure you comment at every stop along the hop to be eligible to be entered into the draw.  We'd love you to join us over at our new Paper Craft Planet (PCP) Group, and so as an added incentive, anyone that becomes a member of our YNS PCP Group will automatically receive a second entry into the blog hop grand prize draw!  How great is that?  (It's free and easy to join PCP by the way!)

Not only is Karen offering two amazing prizes, she's also going to include a free surprise gift with every order placed at http://www.yournextstamp.com during the hop!  And that's not all ... if you join our YNS Group over at PCP, you'll also be personally emailed an exclusive PCP-YNS-Group-only YNS store discount code!

So onto my blog hop creations:

To create the first one -a Halloween bookmark- I have used EEK the Bat stamp


and here's a close up of the cute scary bat:


For the second one -a fall card-  I have used Acorn Fall Fun stamp
 


So now it's time for you to hop on over to the uber talented Simonne's blog as she is the next stop on our hop, but it would be great if you leave me a comment before you go :o)
