IKES WORLD NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP

 Welcome to our 1st ever  NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP.
We, the DT are showcasing  the 12 new images from  IKE'sART .

I am the 1st stop on this bloghop so i hope i can whet your appetite with my project.
I chose to work with COGNITIVE THOUGHTS....
....... ON THIS 14''X10'' CANVAS.
Below is the full blogroll.... you now need to visit the very talented GINNY.




I hope you will have fun hopping round to everyone and having a look at what they've created, and I am sure they would appreciate it if you left them some LUV :-)

Since there is NO Ike'sWorld Challenge this week, we are having a bit of fun with the Hop. Do you fancy Winning one of the New Images ???? 
All you have to do is go around the Hop and leave everyone a comment and then go to IKE'sWorld Challenges and leave a Comment saying that you've done that.... simple eh ???!!  
This Hop will run throughout this week, so you have plenty of time to enter. Make your way round and back here by Midnight on Sunday 2nd FEBRUARY 2014, and then we will do a random pick from those of you who completed the Hop and let you know the Winner at our next Challenge post, which will be on Tuesday 4th FEB.
Thanks for stopping by BDx
