New freebie on my digistamp blog.

Just to let you know I have a freebie on my digistamp blog. I am currently trying to put up a freebie every week for a few days. However, they are not always published on the same day, but usually around the end of the week. Here is the freebie I currently have up on my digistamp blog.

If you like it, do go over there and grab it. It's only on for a few days. Don't forget I will also put a draw on for my followers if I reach 75 followers on this blog or 25 followers on my digistamp blog. The randomly drawn follower will then be able to choose either 3 of my digistamps or 2 of my Easel card sheets or 1 paper pack from my blog. Don't forget to also leave a comment if you take it.

Remember our blog hop and your chance to win extra prizes!

Morning all,

I'm just getting ready to go to work today, but wanted to make sure you would not miss out on some chances.

First of all, we have our Blogaversary Blog Hop at CRAFT Challenge this week, which closes at 6pm GMT on Wednesday! To go to my Blog Hop Post, please click here or scroll down.

Except for a chance to win a prize on the hop at my blog, I will also do an extra draw (of my followers) if I reach 75 followers on this blog
or 25 followers on my digistamp blog. (if I reach 50 there, there will be another draw)

If I reach both targets, that will mean 2 extra draws (and this is of followers at this blog and again at the digistamp blog as well! So, up to 4 extra winners!)

The prize would be a choice of either 3 digistamps, 2 Easel Card templates or 1 paperpack of the winner's choice from my digistamp blog.

So, don't miss out on a chance to win and become a follower as well. This also gives you the chance to catch the occasional freebie I post on my digistamp blog.

Enjoy the rest of the week and do check out our Blog Hop. To go to either of the mentioned blogs, please just click on the images and it will direct you there.

Love,
