Purple Onion Designs: June 2012

3 Years of Getting Shabby!

I can't believe that the girls over at Let's Get Shabby are celebrating their 3rd birthday. Happy birthday Julie & Mandy! Congratulations to you and the rest of the design team. It is quite an accomplishment for a challenge blog to still be going strong after 3 years. There are so many challenge blogs that have come and gone. You should all be proud of yourselves for running a blog that others find inspirational.

I have had the pleasure of sponsoring the birthday celebration each year. This year is no exception. Pop over to the Let's Get Shabby challenge blog to participate in this year's birthday challenge. The winner of the challenge will win an assortment of stamps from Purple Onion Designs.

Here are a few projects from Julie.

Moxified!

Once again, Cath Edvalson from Papercrafts magazine has spied some of our new stamps to slap with her stamp of approval. You can see which stamps tickled her fancy on Papercrafts Moxie Fab World Blog. Go take a look, leave a comment on the Moxie Fab blog and you could be randomly chosen to win a set of the stamps. You have till midnight Sunday June 10th to leave a comment.

And since no blog post is complete without a little eye candy...

Inside the Artist's Studio

I am not sure if you had a chance to pop over to Stacey Yacula's blog when we revealved her stamp collection The Sweetest Day! several weeks ago. Stacey was new to the world of stamping and it was fun to see her playing with the stamps in her studio. Here are a few of the images she colored and some finished projects.
