Just comment on the following blogs (don't forget this one), each day for more chances to win! (You do NOT have to comment on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly!) All four winners will be announced on July 13, 2013 on the Mark's Finest Papers blog. You can go back and comment if you missed a day. (HINT: The more you comment, the more chances you have to win and comments on the MFP blog count twice!) The deadline for commenting is 11PM EST on Friday July 12, 2013.




 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Dino News"




 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Dragonflies"     



Today's set is perfect for your Christmas creations, and believe me July is not too early!  Its called "Presents":

This set is really festive and fun, and I thought I would make two versions of the same card - one for Christmas and one for a birthday.






I really enjoyed this set!  But of course this isn't the only set Mark's Finest Papers offers.  You can find this month's sets along with many other beautiful sets at the Mark's Finest Papers Store.  In the meantime, why not have a look and see what the other design team members have to offer?  The lovely Toni is next on the hop, but if you haven't visited the other designers I really encourage you to visit everyone.  There is lots of inspiration to be had!  And don't forget, today is the last day of the hop but the fun isn't over! Tomorrow I will be contributing to the Get Inspired Column at MFP Speedy TV.  You can either visit there to view my post, or I will also be publishing my post here.  See you then!  :)

    These are beautiful Cathy! I love that you created both a Christmas and a birthday card. I really like how the sentiment you chose for the inside works for both occasions. I wouldn't have noticed that on my own.
