YNS Sketch/Colour Challenge #57 - Dino-Mite!

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #57.

Every two weeks, there is a new challenge that features a sketch and colour inspiration. Pick the one that inspires you most, or try both for an added challenge. The best part of these challenges is you could win a gift certificate to the YNS store!

When using the colour inspiration, you must use at least 3 colours. You may also add neutrals

I dug way into my stash to pull out a stamp I haven't used in awhile. I love the Dino-mite set and decided to make a nice masculine birthday card. I don't often make them, so it was a nice change.

For the sketch/colour challenge # 57, you will have until Thursday February 16th (midnight EST) to play along. Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog for more inspiration and to link up your creation.

One random participant will win a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature YNS products (it must be the main focus of your project), you will receive an additional $5. When you use a YNS stamp/die, there is a chance of being selected as the YNS top pick. The winner and top pick are announced on the YNS blog, the Sunday after the close of the challenge.

If you use YNS products on your project, you can also take part in the YNS Social Media challenge. Simply showcase your YNS sketch/colour challenge #57 project on Instagram, Splitcoast Stampers or Facebook. Check out the currently challenge post at the YNS blog for more details on the social media challenge.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Your Next Stamp February Release Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to the Your Next Stamp February release blog hop.

This month we have a fabulous selection of stamps and dies. Whether you are a coffee lover (my hand is madly waving in the air) or a sports fan, we have the release from you. You will see some returning favourites with Phoebe and Sprinkles and of course we cannot forget about the fabulous dies. I had fun with the doily and heart die on my DT dare card (stay tuned for that one).

One thing my family, close friends and coworkers know about me, is that I NEED my coffee in the morning. My favourite stamps will often relate to coffee, books and anything that makes me think about my girls. On my first card I used the cute 'pup of coffee' in the Coffee Break set.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Growing up in a sports loving home, I was so excited to see all of the fabulous sports images in the Sports Fanatics One set. What is even more exciting, is that this month we are also releasing Sports Fanatics Two! These sets will get a lot of use.

Hockey is definitely my favourite sport, and I really could not resist using that fabulous sentiment. I still giggle when I read it.
