The stamps will be available to buy on the website from midday (UK time) on Monday 13th January and also, the shop in Leeds is open this Saturday 10am - 4pm and you will also be able to buy them there is you are going along. If you've never been, you really are in for a treat because its chock full of stuff that just makes you want to get crafty.
So you know how it works peeps - you just need to ‘hop’ from one blog to another following the links and leave a comment on each card. As well as being in with a shot of winning the fab prize or prizes on offer, you're bound to get oodles of inspiration while you are on your travels.
Now talking of prizes, as always there's some hidden along the way. We don’t know where they are so do be sure to visit and comment on every blog - you have to be in it to win it me darlins :)
There are 2 full sets of the new stamps to give away so 2 lucky winners will each get all 10 new designs.
That deserves a woohoo for sure.
We will let you know on Monday morning which were the ‘lucky’ blogs and the winners will be drawn at random from all the comments that were left on those blogs

So what did I do then?
Well I did .....
... this. I am so loving this cute bear and this image is James Big Heart.
He's adorable.
I coloured him in with these Copics -
E30, E31, E34, E35, E39, E580, R02, R17, R27, R59, YG00, YG03,YG95
I thought for a change I would paper piece the heart and the papers are all from the Country Lady paper pad. These papers have a real fabric feel to them which goes really well with this image I think.
A Magnolia lace die, some heart buttons from my stash and some beautimous Ribbon Girl 25mm Brown/Cream Rustic Gingham Berisford No 25 ribbon.
Lovely :)
So that's what I did and the next stop on the hop is the fabulous Debbie and if you get lost you can start again at the beginning and pick the links up from there .
Finally, don’t forget to stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog on Monday morning when you can find out who the lucky winners were of the prizes before the stamps go on sale
Enjoy the hop everyone, good luck!
And if we've inspired you, why not have a go at this month's don't forget that there is the ...
... and there's a nice easy theme for January because it's
Anything Goes

When I saw this image I knew I needed it as it was James (and he's my favourite Lili character) but I was wondering how I could colour that huge heart.
