Congratulations to Michelle LaPoint Rydell!!

 

Holiday Sale!

  

Any stamps on your wishlist?  Need a gift for a crafty friend?  Now is the time to do a little shopping.  This is one of only two annual sales that I have each year.  Go take a look.

There are also a few more new stamps on the site.  I realize I am cutting it close with them but I figured better late then never.  :)  You will find them throughout the New Stamp pages.

This sentiment set was designed to use with Michelle Clement's Artic Wonderland but it would work great with so many holiday stamps.

 

Many of them are also available individually.  You can see them here.

How about some fun holiday postmarks?

 

or Holiday Border Tapes? 

Finally some gorgeous Vintage Snowflakes from Liz Tamanaha.

 

 

Ready for the New Year?

I have some new stamps to show you!  I FINALLY finished off the new calendar stamps the other week.  I can't believe I started them before the Summer and just couldn't get back to working on them.  

There are two new calendars.  The smaller 2009 is a new style.  I have been trying to mix it up each year.  Then there is a perpetual calendar set for the individual months.  There are 15 different calendars which will allow you to set up a calendar for any month, any year.  I decided to do a set with 31 days and then 30.  This will make for easy stamping.  You can then just stamp the correct month above and add the year.  The only month that needs a little tweaking is February.  You will need to wipe away the ink for days 30 & 29 (if not a leap year) or mask them off. 

Would you like to see them?

You can set it up any way you like.  Here is another example:

 

You can view the complete set on the website here.  I will have them available for ordering within the next day.  I have a few more new images that also have to be put up on the site.

Since I have promised to do more giveaways how about I give away one of the new calendar stamps!  Simply post a comment to this blog entry letting me know which is your favorite calendar.  If your name is randomly drawn then you will receive the calendar of your choice.  You have until Friday December 5th at midnight to post your comment.  Good luck!

 

 

Have you started your Holiday Cards Yet?

I envy those that start their holiday cards early.  I have to admit that I usually only make a handful of cards.  I send them to those that expect them and that I know will appreciate them.  The rest get store bought cards.  Gasp!  I know.  I just never have time to make all my cards.  I probably send out about 60 or so.  I'll do it one year.

I haven't figured out what I am going to do this year.  The DT girls are really getting me inspired though.
