New Stamps coming this Week!

Hello everyone :)

I've got some exciting news to share with you. I've been busy scroll sawing for the last week and a half and will have the new designs ready for you by the end of this week!

I sent the first batch off to my Design Team and am shocked to see that Wendy and Karin have not only received the stamps but have made some beautiful pieces using Fiddlehead Set already! They did two very different projects. I'm so thrilled with both of them :D

Here are my first proofs of Fiddlehead Set. Always a scary and exciting moment to see how the stamps turned out...

Wendy's card using Fiddlehead Set (available on my site at the end of the week). You can visit Wendy's blog post HERE

Karin's creation also using Fiddlehead Set. You can visit her blog post HERE

And here's a sneak peak of the rest of the new designs ;)

These New Designs plus all Out of Stock stamps will be back by the end of this week. Thanks to everyone for being patient. I hope you like the new images!!!

Bye for now :)

Fall Faeries 50% Off Sale

Hello everyone...

I hope you are well wherever you are in the world! Here in Canada the weather is getting colder and I can sense that the leaves will start turning beautiful colours soon. The other day I found one of the first leaves to change. When I took a picture I found that the shot of the back was even more gorgeous than the front. I'm so in love with my iPhone! It's perfect for taking spontaneous photos when I go out and about looking for details in nature.

To celebrate Autumn I've decided to put a few of my stamps on sale for you. All three stamps will be 50% off for the rest of September. Dancing Faeries, Acorn Faerie Set and Harp Faerie.

Dancing Faeries
Acorn Faerie Set
Harp Faerie
Below are some projects using these stamps by DT members, Miranda Degenaars and Shirley Deatcher. Haven't they done a beautiful job with them?!
In this card Miranda used Dancing Faeries and Flower Lace 1 from my collection.

I can't possibly thank you enough for leaving such beautiful comments on my last blog post. 125 is the most comments that I have EVER received and I am left speechless and so very touched by your words. I appreciate that many of you took the time to write me your thoughts in detail. Whether it was encouragement, feedback about the stamps or excitement about the new designs... Big hugs!!! Also a big welcome to all of the people who found me through the Paper Crafter's Library :) I think I'd like to make a give away a regular thing...
