Welcome to the Some Odd Girl Valentine's Release Hop!
I know it's cold outside and you may even have ground covered in snow but today we're out to warm your heart with a release that will make you want to pinch cheeks and give free hugs to strangers and family alike! Want a little sneak at the release that you can start ordering on Monday? Then hop to all of the Odd Girls' blogs and get a virtual crafty hug at every stop! If you've come here from Leah's blog then you are right on track... if not then head over to the SOG blog for a complete list of the stops. :)
Wait a sec?! I bet you're thinking that I've gone and used the wrong stamps for this hop, LOL! Actually this adorable little squirrel and the acorns are all part of the new Nutsy Kaylee 4x6 set and considering my current Christmas groove I saw the potential for a Christmas card as soon as I laid eyes on him. I just couldn't resist the idea that he has woken up on Christmas morning to find the best gift a squirrel could ever ask for underneath his tree. I promise to have some Valentine's cards to share with y'all next week though. ;)
Ok, you can hop now through Sunday, December 11th (midnight EST). Make sure to comment at every stop along the way because then you'll be entered to win a stamp set from the new release! We'll be giving away one of every set and announcing the winners all next week when the stamp sets are revealed. How cool is that?!
So are you ready to feel the love? Then it's time to hop on over to Vera's blog!
Have fun!
