For this hop we have 6 different prize draws! We have not one but TWO grand prize draws, so two lucky hoppers will win a large selection of new release stamps. Grand Prize 1 will be for those who help us advertise the hop, and Grand Prize 2 will be for those who hop along with us. Also, we have 4 mini candy stops throughout the hop where you can enter to win a new release stamp! I'm not going to tell you where they are, so if you haven't found them you'll just have go back to the beginning and start hopping!

And here is what I created for the hop:

I used one of the new Kenny K images called Vicki LeeVicious. Coloring was done using my Copics. And I was all about the pinks for her, LOL. Dunno why but just had to color her pinkish. The ticket sentiment is a digi sentiment called 'The Wild Side' sentiments created by Ann. The die cut star is a Cuttlebug die and the flower is from either Marianne Design or Joy Crafts...sorry can't remember. Ribbon, gems and button is from my stash.

Here's a close-up of the fab new Kenny K stamp!

I also finished the inside to match the outside!

And now it's time for you to continue the hop by hopping on over to Erin's blog and see her fabulous creation for this hop! Finally, here is a complete blog hop list in hopping order. To make it easier if you got lost:
