Hello and welcome to our September New Release Blog Hop!

As the weather transitions to crisp mornings and the leaves start to fall from the trees, all of the YNS Design Team members are hard at work creating fabulous fall themed inspiration for you!

 We have a fun September lineup of stamps and dies for you this month. We know you are going to fall in love with the new dies and our harvest characters!!! If you love interactive cards, we have the perfect dies for you!
Want to try splattering ink, but worried that it will look messy?
Have no fear, our Ink Splatter stamp will solve that!
Everything is available now in the YNS Store HERE

The hop begins on Peggy's blog and if you've been hopping along, you should have come from Maureen's blog.
Make sure you hop around to all of the blogs featured in the link list located at the bottom of this post for lots of inspiration using the new products!

Make sure to leave a comment on all of the blogs for your chance to win
a $20.00 YNS gift certificate!!!.

The lucky winner will be announced on the Your Next Stamp Blog September 18th.

For my project I used: "Piles of Smiles" and the "Woodgrain" stamps.

I stamped this cute squirrel and coloured him with Prismacolor pencils then mounted him on a background stamped with the Woodgrain stamp.

You may have read that YNS is getting ready to launch a new website!
As they say, out with the old and in with the new! With getting the new website ready for the new site this prompted them to retire/discontinue quite a few stamps and discontinuing the Digital Stamps line. We'll also be retiring plenty of stamps so NOW is the time to stock up on your wishlists!
Check out all the retiring stamps HERE .

Also, back by popular demand, all YNS Gumdrops will be on sale for
 25% off between September 14 to 18.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and hopping along with us!

Now it's time to head on over to Tracy's blog,
 but before you go, don't forget to leave a comment.

I am Guest Designer at Your Next Stamp this Month!

I am SO happy to have been asked to be a part of the very talented group over at 

Your Next Stamp for the month of September!

When I received my very generous gift package I saw this adorable stamp set called: Autumn Greetings and I knew I had to make something for Thanksgiving with it. Thanksgiving is always celebrated up north at mine or my parents' cottage and we have the whole family come (and sometimes friends). It is one of my favourite times of the year because the leaves are all changing (I get awesome pictures of my Girls) and we are all together.

I used cardstock, patterned papers and ribbon from CTMH and coloured the images with Copics.

 markers.

Hope you enjoy!
