Digi Stamps 4 Joy Challenge 100 - Celebrations
September - Month Long Challenge
2 Weeks Blog Hop
Lots of Prizes

Welcome to the Digistamps4Joy CELEBRATIONS Blog Hop. DS4J is celebrating their 100th Blog Challenge with a Blog Hop running from September 3 - 16, 2014, with a month long challenge, and ad hoc prizes during the month. Sorry for the long blog; but I need to provide the blog hop information and the month long challenge; plus the rules for a chance to win FREE prizes.

The first challenge on DS4J blog was February 23, 2012, and we are thrilled to still have you as our "fans' after 2 and a half years!  As a big THANK YOU to all of you, DS4J is holding a BLOG HOP where you can win many prizes, including more DS4J fabulous digistamps! DS4J has several new releases that are being showcased; which will be given away to some lucky followers. If you enter our challenge, you again put yourself in line to win more of our digistamps. And to top it all off, Margy will be throwing in some ad hoc prizes and discounts on the main DS4J blog (http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com) during September! Join with us as we CELEBRATE!

You have arrived at Gloria's blog in West Hills, California! I am one of the DT with Digistamps4Joy.  I am thrilled to be part of this fabulous DT and to be celebrating our 100 blog challenge! I have been blessed and privileged to work with these wonderful ladies on DS4J DT.  I have met a lot of wonderful people on this Blogland adventure.  I am looking forward to meeting more friends and celebrating more DS4J challenges using these fabulous Digi stamps.

Fabulous HOP Prizes

1. DS4J is offering 6 new digistamps as prizes on six of the DT member’s blogs to a randomly drawn follower of that blog; who has left a comment. The other DT member blogs will be giving away a previously released digistamp, to a randomly drawn follower and commenter of their blog! So come on in, meet our fabulous Design Team, and have some fun!  Starting the 18th; some of the blog owners may have personal prizes which are only applicable to the country they live in. Be sure to check back on the 18th; so you can comment for a chance to win the personal prizes from some of the DT.  I will have a prize at that time for the second half of the month.

2. The main DS4J blog is also giving away 100 REWARD POINTS during the Hop to one lucky winner, which can be spent in the Digistamps4Joy store(www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop)! Now isn’t that a fabulous prize?

There are some rules for winning these prizes, so make sure you read these below!
