Lots of news!

Welcome back to Stamp and Create!
There is a lot going on here so it was time for a mid-week post!!
First up, the new S.W.A.L.K images from Crafters Companion are now available!! They are super cute and filled with fun sentiments and accessories with each set.
This card below was created by the super talented Suzanne Dean...

This card uses the adorable "Hugs" set. Don't you just love Suzanne's coloring?
Did you know that Suzanne offers Copic classes? She has online classes available through her Color me Creative Classroom. But now she is also going on the road!! She will be traveling to different cities throughout the US and Canada teaching different Copic techniques! You can view her class schedule here.
I have signed up for the March 5th Beginner class in Port St. Lucie, FL. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive for me, but it will be well worth it! I have a set of Copic markers, but I'm scared to death to use them!! So I am really looking forward to this class.
If you want to meet up with me, come join in on the class!! I am sure I will have some Wags 'n Whiskers stamps to share (wink)!

Stampavie news - The Stampavie Christmas preorder has been paid and is now on the way!! Orders should ship out next week!! If you haven't preordered your stamps yet, you may want to do that now - I don't expect them to stay in the store for long.Speaking of Christmas...

So many companies are now releasing their Christmas designs! I have added both the Christmas and Halloween categories to the top of the website so they are easier to find.

And speaking of Halloween...

I am so excited that High Hopes is having release next week!! This is the FIRST TIME they have ever done a Halloween release!! But it's not just about Halloween. You'll have to come check it out on Monday when the sneak peeks begin on the High Hopes Blog.

The Greeting Farm Product Spotlight

Welcome back to Stamp and Create.

I posted a few times over the weekend with lots of winners from recent challenges, rewards, and candies. Make sure to scroll down to see them all.
In the mean time, it's time for a new Product Spotlight.
This week's spotlight is: The Greeting Farm Stamps
I've spotlighted TGF before, but it's been a few months and it was such a great hit last time!
So, for the next week, all Greeting Farm stamps instock will be on sale for 25% off!!
I have some product updates below so make sure to check those out, plus we have some samples from the Design Team using TGF stamps.
But first, I have to introduce our newest Guest at Stamp and Create!

I am so happy to introduce Heidi Burt!!
Hi, my name is Heidi and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am originally from England but have lived in the U.S for 30 years. I have always been a crafty person doing cross stitch, knitting, creating mosaics, woodworking, knitting, painting, jewelry making, and scrapbooking. I started stamping in 2006 as small hobby and it’s is now a healthy obsession. You can view my blog at http://heidisimaginarium.blogspot.com/
I am so happy to have Heidi as our guest!! Her cards are so gorgeous and her creativity amazes me!!
Unfortunately that means we have to say goodbye to Sharon. Sharon was a wonderful addition to the team and I'm sad to see that her guest time was up :-( But on a happy note for me, I still get to work with her on the Wags 'n Whiskers team!!


Now here are the amazing samples from the awesome Design Team!!

Joy created a card with two GF images...Flirty Anya and Stella (Wild Sprout). I love to alter my images and this one was lots of fun (head of Stella and body of Flirty Anya). I colored her with my favorite color purple, used my circle nesties, lotus pendant spellbinder, prima fairy tale white roses and trellis purple mist roses.
Heidi

Heidi created her card with an image and sentiment from the TGF Buddies set. She also used October Afternoon Fly a Kite paper, Ivory Prima Trellis Roses accented with Poppyfield Prima – Fairytale Roses, and a Hello Kitty Charm.

Jeanette

Jeanette used one of the Wild Sprouts images from The Roll Call kit. The paper is Basic Grey's Green at Heart. She also used Prima flowers, Basic Grey pearls and some luxurious satin striped reversible ribbon in mauve.

Lacey Lacey used Angel Anya, Basic Grey Bitter Sweet DP, Kaisercraft Snow Pearls, Stardust Stickles on the wings, hair bow, and halo, new May Arts Wrinkled Ribbon, and new On the Edge clear stamp from Stampology (I love the look of these stamps creating the border).

There were lots of new things added to the store recently.

Disney stamps and paper!!


LOTS of new Kasiercraft 6x6 paper pads have been added:
Restock of My Heart Stamps for You finally arrived:
New May Arts Ribbon (including silk, wrinkle, and check ribbons):

And something new to the store, but not stamping related are Crazy Bands!!
These silly silicone bands are the rave with the kids these days. They wear them on their wrists and trade them with their friends.
When I had a friend from England visit, they never hear about Crazy Bands so I had to get them in the store, just in case anyone was looking for an on-line source.
Don't forget to check out the Monthly Challenge!
