Belles 'n Whistles 'Forever Young' Release and Blog Hop Today!

for yesterdays candy winner scroll down to yesterday's post!

 
Welcome everyone to the Belles 'n Whistles new release blog hop for the far-out cute 'Forever Young' collection! The blog hop continuous until Friday the 18th of June! I am your first stop in the hop and you should have arrived here from our Belles 'n Whistles blog  where all the fun begins! If you did not, make sure to go back and start there!
As always Summer is very generous and is giving away a whole set of the new released stamps. WOW! One randomly chosen winner will get the whole 'Forever Young' collection! In order to be eligible to win the set you must complete the hop and leave a comment on every participating blog of my fellow BnW-DT sisters and at the end at the Belles 'n Whistles blog. But this is not all....also each DT and GDT member will give a way the stamp they are showcasing...so even more chances for you to win :-)  I can tell you already this will be soooo much fun you are going to see STUNNING and inspiring projects on your way! So get yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the 'ride' :-)

Ok I don't want to tantalize you any longer ;-) Here comes the first image of the new 'Forever Young' collection, designed by the wonderful Elisabeth Bell: 'A-Merry-Go!'
