3rd GIVING THANKS Blog Hop & Wishlist Linky Party with the STAMPlorations Girls and Friends

This post will remain at the top of the blog until November 30.

Hello, STAMPlorations friends! Today is a very special day at the STAMPlorations HQ, as 35 designers come together to express how grateful and thankful we are through the projects we are sharing today.

As I wrote in yesterday's post, 8 incredibly talented guest designers are joining us. They represent the challenge blogs that gave STAMPlorations an opportunity to reach many, many crafters through sponsorship for the past year or so.  These ladies, as well as 26 STAMPlorations girls, took time out of their busy day for this hop -- and I am SO very grateful to every one of them!

There are 2 parts to this event:

1. a blog hop with 36 stops (including this blog) where you can leave a little word of encouragement and thanks to the designers; and
   
2. a wishlist linky party where you can link up your wishlist, as well as up to 3 projects you create that express how thankful and/or grateful you are. 

The hop and linky are open until the end of the month so you can take your time hopping and linking up :o)

For their projects, the participating designers used 11 new stamp sets designed particularly for this hop: three 4x6 sets (Thankful & Blessed, Wonderfall Time, and Words of Gratitude) and 8 Typografia: Thankful stamps (Full of Thanksgiving, Giving, Gratitude is the Blossom, Something to be Thankful for, Thankful People, Thy Goodness, Unknown Blessings, and We Have Enough).

    

      

      

And we have lots of prizes we'll be giving away to some lucky hop and wishlist linky party participants.

Prizes for those who hop:

• THREE (3) winners randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMPlorations blog and participating designers blog will each receive a $25 certificate to the STAMPlorations store
• ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from our Facebook page will win a grab bag consisting of new products (valued at $25 MSRP) + another grab bag of the same value for one friend he/she tags in her comment
