Whimsy New Digi Release Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Whimsy Stamps January digi release blog hop!!!! This is my first post as a Whimsy Stamps digi design team member. I am so excited!

On the hop today, we have lots of new images created by Crissy, Ann, and Melissa to share with you. We also have some beautifully pre-colored images, designed by Melissa Jenkins of Meljen's Designs, which are great for making quick cards. Each file is JPG at 300dpi for high print quality. You can resize, flip, or rotate to fit your own project.

If you have arrived here from Anneke's beautiful blog then you are in the right place. If you were not following along with the hop, why not join in the fun by starting at the beginning of the hop, which is Debbie’s blog?

Today I used Crissy Armstrong's newly released image, Dance of Love. Isn't she gorgeous?




To find this image along with all of the new release, please visit the Whimsy Stamps store.

Be sure to leave comments as you hop. SIX mystery DT Members will be choosing a winner from the comments left on their hop posts! These winners will each win a Whimsy Stamps digi image of their choice.

The Grand Prize winner of the hop will be chosen from the very last stop, Denise’s blog, and will receive 5 new digital stamps of their choice from Whimsy Stamps. They will also get a chance to use those new digital images as a guest designer for Whimsy for the entire month of January.

The hop will run until 12 noon EST, Thursday, January 13th, when the winner will be announced on the Whimsy Inspirations blog.

Your next stop on the hop is Stephanne's blog. I know she has some lovely eye-candy for you.

Below is a list of the hop rotation just in case you get lost along the way.
