It is the 15th that means LOTV Blog Hop Day :0)

Welcome to the Lili of the Valley Designers Mini Hop!!  Our previous hop was so successful that we thought we would bring you a Mini Hop each month.   

This month we are thrilled to be joined by Wild Orchid Crafts who have kindly sponsored some prizes along with prizes from Lili of the Valley.   We are showcasing  stamps from the latest release so we hope you will join us on the hop and check out what the DT have done with their chosen stamp for the hop and even pick up one of the mystery prizes from Wild Orchid Crafts and Lili of the Valley along the way. 

We will be giving away 4 amazing prizes and all you have to do is leave a comment on each of the participating designer’s blogs.  We will then choose 4 winners from our mystery prize blogs on Wednesday.  Good luck! 


I have used this gorgeous stamp called Close your eyes, they have been coloured with Copic markers and a touch of white pen, I have used Pion papers as they are my favourite, I have distressed all the edges with chalk inks, I have used Kraft Card for my Happy Sentiment, my gorgeous flowers are 25mm Wild Roses, 20mm Open Roses and 15mm Open Roses, I have added a strip of Seam Binding, some double Butterflies and I have used a tiny bit of scrap paper for a little scroll with a  Metal Charm on...


Here is a list of the hop and the order, I might be missing today as my baby girl turns 18, she is now a lady, scary thought as it means I am getting old, I think I am going to stay at 36 forever...

Bev....

Fleur.... 

Pops you are here...

Dena ....

Anne .... 

Dawny....


Thank you for looking biggest of hugs love Pops x x x x
