November 12 FRIDAY Musical Holiday


Welcome to the MFP November Blog Hop! This month, we are releaseing 6 NEW SETS!
We have 6 New Stamp Sets Released: Brick Wall, Bells on Bobtail, Christmas Postage Due, Bold & Free, Muscial Holiday and Welcome Home. For your convenience, all 6 stamp sets are available for purchase TODAY! For your chance to win BLOG CANDY, (a set that will be released NEXT month), visit and comment on each of the following design team members' blogs TODAY. On Saturday, (November 13, 2010), a winner will be chosen from those participants who visited all the blogs listed for today. (There will be four different winners, one winner for each day of the blog hop. You DO NOT have to comment every day. However, the more days you comment, the more chances you have to win!) If you miss a day, you can go back and comment on each day's blogs, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning.

My sample is below:


All stamps, papers, charms and Smooch inks by Mark's
Finest Papers
Gold Leafing Pen
Versamark ink
Gold detail EP by Ranger

To make the pretty background paper I dribbled several drops of 2 colors of Smooch inks
on top of one inch of water in a bowl and stirred gently with a toothpick.
Then I laid the paper on top of the mixture and lifted it off. The inks float
on top of the water and make a lovely swirly design as you can see.
*the charm is to hide an "oops" when my leafing pen made an
unexpected blob.....*

I will be giving away an unmounted stamp of my choice to someone who
signs up as a follower on my blog during this blog hop. You will
have 4 days to sign up. Please send your email info to me at:
piotter@prtel.com
so I can get ahold of you to send your prize.
I will be picking the name of a follower on Saturday Nov 13
who signed up here on any of the 4 days of this blog hop .
GOOD LUCK!!
