So first off.. This week I have some exciting news to share!!!! it's not going to be today.. well maybe ill share just a tiny bit.. but I have two fun things I have been DYING to share with you all.. that finally I can announce!!
okay.. so maybe I will share a little bit of one.. as some of you may know I have been working with Unity Stamp Co. on a new stamp line.. and It is officially done and in production and SHIPPING to me later THIS WEEK!! It will also be debuting at CHA for other stores to carry as well! I CAN NOT WAIT! I think we did a total of 2 she art girl stamps, 8 texture design stamps and one packaged stamp set that has 5 or 6 different doodled borders! I seriously can not wait to have them in the store!!
I will be posting sneak peeks of those throughout the week and then when the officially arrive this week.. I will post them when i return next tuesday! And we will have a big fun giveaway and sale and everything. wahoo! The other news is.. I have a line of papers.. mixed media embellishments, masks, rubons and tissue paper.. coming out next week at CHA too!! and will be announcing who that is and show you peaks of that this week as well! I seriously can not WAIT! I have already played with the products and made fun canvases with them and I already want more!! lol can not wait!
So this week is exciting! AND another bit of exciting news.. my dear friend Margie..just debuted over the weekend her new online Spark workshop for Valentines.. called
Love love love. And it starts TODAY!!
its a week long workshop.. 3 days of projects.. featuring fun valentines projects .. totally Margie and TOTALLY Spark style as well! She is teaching home decor, garland, gift ideas and homemade valentines.. and I can't wait!
It's starts today! and she did a video on it.. so check her blog for more info and get signed up!!
anyhow.. know this is a short post for today.. but tomorrow I will be posting the video using this month's mixed media kit!! Showing you how to use that stamp carving set you got and to make 5 handmade tags using it AND some cool techniques using paints and matt medium! So check back tomorrow for that! We will have extra carving pads available in the store tomorrow too. I know the kits only comes with one.. so in-case you want to make more stamps once you learn how!

Ooohhh Congratulations on the stamps & Paper/Rub-ons. I definetly want to get hold of those & cant wait for you to get them all in your shop. Being able to design a line of goodys is perfect as im sure by now you know what you love & what youd like to see so Im betting theyre going to be FANTASTIC. Was wondering when you were going to get some "Girl" stamps too. A BIG congrats on your achievements & lets hope we can get them from your store soon
