Heads-Up on the 2nd GIVING THANKS Blog Hop & Linky Party!

Hey, everyone! Here's your heads-up on our upcoming 2nd Giving Thanks Blog Hop & Linky Party! It starts Wednesday, November 16, at 8 a.m. Pacific! (See what time it's happening in your part of the world here.)

Our Giving Thanks blog hop last year was so much fun and now we're back -- but this time it's going to be even more fun and HUGE! Because joining the STAMPlorations girls are 15 amazing and talented guest designers representing challenge blogs and events we have been so fortunate to be part of as a sponsor for the last couple of years. I'm so very grateful that they agreed to participate in this event and carve out time from their busy schedules to create beautiful projects. The challenges and events they represent are ones I wholeheartedly recommend to crafters and I invite you to visit their personal blogs as well. Take a look out our guest designers:

Barb Ghigliotty from Addicted to Clean and Simple

Kylie Purtell from Addicted to Stamps and More

Melissa Chipperfield from CASology

Amy Tsuruta from Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Trish Latimer from Craft Stamper’s Take It Make It

Samantha Aguilera from Crafty Girls Corner

Rhonda Alman from Creative Artiste

Monika Reeck from Creative with Stamps

Debbie Owens from Cupcake Inspirations

Karren Johnson from Freshly Made Sketches

Chrissie Stokes from Less Is More

Darnell Knauss from NBUS Challenge

Anita in France & Shona Chambers from Time Out Challenges

Judy Rogers from Tuesday Throwdown

Our very own Becca Cruger is representing The Hop to Stop, and there are 21 STAMPlorations girls joining me in this hop. Did I mention this is one huge hop? ;o)

With a blog hop as big as this one, you can expect lots of prizes too! We're giving away over $225 worth of gift certificates and products.

Prizes for those who hop:

ONE (1) winner randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMPlorations blog and participating designers blogs will receive a $50 gift certificate. 

THREE (3) winners randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMPlorations blog and participating designers blogs will each receive a $20 gift certificate to the shop. 

ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from our Facebook page will win a $15 gift certificate for herself and a $15 gift certificate for one friend she tags in her comment. 

ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from our Instagram account will win her choice of Giving Thanks bundle (Be Thankful, Oh So Grateful, or Many Blessings)

Prizes for those who link up projects with a "Thankful" or "Grateful" theme:

ONE (1) winner randomly drawn from all entries linked up will receive the Be Thankful bundle (stamp set with coordinating die, word die, and stencil)
ONE (1) winner randomly drawn from all entries linked up will receive Oh So Grateful bundle (stamp set with coordinating die, word die, and stencil)
ONE (1) winner randomly drawn from all entries linked up will receive Many Blessings bundle (stamp set with coordinating die, word die, and stencil)

And lastly, we can't have a big event like this without a big sale on the store. Stamps, stencils, and dies will be 35% off* from November 16 to 30. And all orders of $25 or more automatically get free worldwide shipping. This will be the biggest sale event we'll have for 2016.

So we hope to see you here on the blog Wednesday morning! Until then, happy crafting!

(*Excludes stamps and dies in the New Release and STAMP Lab sections; coupon code for 35% off can be used only once per customer and cannot be combined with other coupon codes due to the magnitude of the sale.)
