Mermazing!

 

Hello my friends!

Once again during MerMay Sweet November Stamps hosted two month long mermaid coloring challenges, one on Facebook and the other on Instagram. On Facebook, participants were asked to create an album and fill it with 20 colored mermaids. At the end of the month everyone who had an album full of 20 mermaids would receive an exclusive new mermaid digi. On Instagram the challenge was to share a completed mermaid card or project using the special hashtag #snsmermay2024 and at the end of the month receive a different exclusive mermaid digi. Now those two exclusive cuties are being sent out today and even though they won't be available for purchase to the general public until MerMay 2025, I still wanted to share a couple cards using them and hopefully excite all of our awesome and creative participants who will be enjoying them soon. 

On the first card we have the sweet Octopus Hugs for all of our Facebook friends and she comes with this fun digital sentiment as well. What mermaid wouldn't want to find herself all wrapped up in love like this?  

And on my second card is the adorable MerMaisie for our Instagram friends. MerMaisie comes with this funny fishy friend, who I shrunk and copied until I had three of them coming to play with their mermaid friend.

Both challenges were even more successful than last year's as we saw a growth in the participation numbers, so big thanks to all of our awesome friends of Sweet November who helped make this MerMay the best one yet! As always, it's your enthusiasm and creativity that keep us going, so a big round of applause to all of you!

Toodles!
