Welcome to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where
Lost Coast Designs and

Greetings Portal Peeps!
Welcome to our 2nd annual
Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Day Blog Hop
Last year the Mayor of Baltimore declared Edgar Allan Poe's birthday, January 19, an official city-wide E. A. Poe Appreciation Day and we decided to join the fun and host an annual blog hop. This is a progressive hop that spans over 5 days which means new Poe projects will join the hop every day as more Poe fans play so check daily, hop all the blogs and leave lots of love💜
The Blog Roll is in the form of an Inlinkz link up and the HTML code to use in your blog posts is provided below! Last year's
hop was a huge success and we hope to see lots of fabulous Poe themed creations shared again this year so lets get on with the Poe show!
PRIZE

How to Play!
1. To participate you simply link up your Poe inspired projects at any time before 5 to midnight pacific coast time on January 23!
2. You have 5 days in which to play and you may enter as many projects as you want every single day, the more the merrier😀
3. Use at least one rubber stamp on your project then you're free to use digi stamps and collage elements!

5. Include the provided Inlinkz HTML code, see below, in your blog post to keep the hop going and share it with your friends!
***You must have the link up on your own blog to qualify for the prize and keep the hop going so please don't just enter projects in the linky on this blog!
6. New and
OLD projects can be shared! Old projects are welcome except if previously shared in our 2016 Poe Hop. Prior Poe Hop shares may still be included in the same post with your new project still, I'm sure new Poe hop fans will enjoy seeing them! Check your previous shares in the
2016 Inlinkz collection HERE if you can't remember!
7. Please re-share old projects in a new post so our Poe Hop appears at the top of your blog and remember to include the Inlinkz blog hop code and our Poe hop details in your post.
