Papercraft Star's First Anniversary Blog Hop Sponsored by Tradefish Designs!

Welcome to Papercraft Star's First Anniversary Blog Hop sponsored by Tradefish Designs. In celebration of our First Anniversary and in honor of Father's Day as well, our theme for this Papercraft Star Hop is "For The Men We Love".  You should have arrived to my blog from my pal Regan's blog.  If you didn't, I suggest you start at the beginning over at Papercraft Star so you don't miss a single stop on the hop... go here now to start. (I'll wait :-) )


Our Design Team has created some fabulous projects that feature stamps from Tradefish Designs, a company devoted to creating stamps with masculine themes, imagery and sentiments. We are especially happy to partner with TradeFish Designs for our Anniversary Hop as both the company and stamp designs are owned by our very own Cecilia Stephens too! We have a fabulous prize for our Blog Hop randomly selected winner as well; the entire May 2011 Release Bundle of Tradefish Designs Stamps
(a $55.00 value!).... to qualify for the prize do the following:

Be a follower of Papercraft Star.
Be a follower of Tradefish Designs.
Leave a comment at every stop along the hop.

You have the entire week, June 19 through June 25, 2011 to participate in the hop and leave all your comments (that's plenty of time to visit all the stops along the way!!) Here is the list of the hop stops - just in case you get lost...

Beth (You are HERE!)



I created this fun card using masculine stamps from our sponsor, Tradefish Designs.  There has been a real niche open to stamps that are specifically designed for the men in our lives and I can't tell you how excited I am to have an opportunity to showcase these new stamps in the projects I have created this month for Papercraft Star.

Now, with regard to the hop...don't forget to leave a comment at every stop and to qualify for the great prize from Tradefish Designs, you must be a follower of both Papercraft Star and TradeFish Designs too!

Your next stop on the hop is TradeFish Designs


I've also entered this card into these fun challenges...
Wags and Whiskers: One for the Boys
Glitter Geeks: Male/Father's Day
Simply Stamped: You've Got Male
Paper Creator's Crafts: One for the Men
Bugaboo Stamps: It's a Man's World
