Happy Sunday everyone!  This is another prescheduled post. As you read this, I'll be in Hershey Pennsylvania with my family riding the roller coasters! :)

Whimsy Stamps & Make it Crafty have come together to create a fun Urban Themed digi collection!

Ann Vento has whipped up her magic and designed an incredible collection of
funky wall sayings, city landscapes and of course a range of super cool street signs.
Checkout the Sentiments collection HERE.

Make it Crafty is trying something new offering all the different elements for you to build your own urban backdrop.
Checkout the Urban Street Collection HERE.

Then of course, what better characters to incorporate into such a scene than the fabulous KennyK rubber stamps available from Whimsy Stamps!

Our incredibly talented Design Teams have had a blast playing with all the different elementsto bring you LOTS of inspiration!

We have broken it into TWO HOPS
HOP A Starts Here & HOP B Starts HERE!

There will be a winner for EACH HOP and if you hop your way through BOTH, you’ll go in the draw for the GRAND PRIZE TOO!

HOP A & B Winners will each receive a $15 voucher from both Whimsy Stamps and Make it Crafty

GRAND WINNER will win our full Urban Digital Collection
4 Digi Sentiment sets by Ann Vento & the Urban Elements Collection from Make it Crafty


You are currently on HOP B and should have arrived from Elaine's blog.

Here is my card:


I used the wooden fence and sidewalk digi background image from Make It Crafty. The KennyK image I used today is Brooklyn Babe and fun urban sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs both can be found at Whimsy Stamps. I also embellished with Make It Crafty's awesome chipboard gears.


Your next stop on HOP B is the Whimsy Inspirations Blog but before you go make sure you leave a comment below!

You have until August 21st 8PM Australian QLD time to make your way through the hops!

Be there... or be square!
