Whimsical Design's "Love" Blog Hop...

Hello all my fellow crafters and Whimsical friends!
Welcome to the Whimsical Designs "Love" Blog Hop! :D
If you are participating with us, you should have arrived here from Margie's blog...
If you need to start from the beginning of the hop, head on over to the Whimsical Designs blog and hop along from there! ;)

Sooo... here's a look at what I created for this awesome blog hop! :D
This is the matching mini album that I created to match the altered mailbox I showed a couple of weeks ago for our "Love is in the Air" Whimsical Wednesday Challenge.
To better explain this cute, itty bitty mini (and to FINALLY get a good view of the mailbox!), I made a quick little video! ;)


Pretty quick and simple, huh? :D So! How about some prizes and blog candy???
Our generous sponsors for this hop have graciously given us some prizes to give you all a chance to win for participating! They are:

Stamp-N-Doodle: with a chance to win 2 digi stamps of your choice,
Beccy's Place: with a chance to win 3 digi stamps of your choice, and
Miss Kate Cuttables: with a chance to win a $20 gift certificate for the store! 

And, if that weren't enough for ya'll, Stephanie of Whimsical Designs, is giving away some blog candy that includes:
A 6"x6" paper pad of MME Stella and Rose collection
2 balsa boxes
2 packs of alterable chipboard pieces
2 packs of ribbon and trim
3 small bottles of buttons
1 pack of kraft tags and twine
2 packs of bling
and 4 packs of flowers

Is that awesome or what??? ;) All you guys have to do is follow along with the blog and leave a comment on each designers' post! Easy peasy! ;) So... on to your next stop - Nanne's blog to see what amazing project she's cooked up for you guys! :D
