Grand Prize 1 will be for those who help us advertise the hop, and Grand Prize 2 will be for those who hop along with us. Also, we have 4 mini candy stops throughout the hop where you can enter to win a new release stamp. I'm one of the secret mini candy stops :)  Denise has generously let me give away the Time Flies set:

To be eligible for this set, please leave your entry in InLinkz below by 12pm noon, March 23, 2011.

For my blog hop creation I used Celebrate Big! by Crissy Armstrong and a few of the ticket stamps from the Treasured Moments Tickets Sentiments.  I also used the Balloon Sentiments stamp set released last month for the balloons and sentiments; these sentiments go so well with Crissy's birthday-themed images releasing today!  We also have a matching Balloon Dies Set to cut out the Balloon stamps.

Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Celebrate Big!, Treasured Moments Tickets Sentiments, Balloon Sentiments stamp set; Medium: Distress reinkers; Paper: DCWV All About The Girls Stack; Accessories/tools: Cuttlebug, Tim Holtz Ticket Strip die, ribbon, baker's twine, button
