Let the Festivities (Finally) Begin!!!

Hello friends! As you probably know, we had a bit of a glitch (us and many others) with our August release due to huge problems with our stamp manufacturer. I'm happy to say that the situation is improving, even if not quite "perfect" yet. Many TCM stamp sets are out of stock while we wait for new supplies. But at least we have our ~~August~~ September release ready to go. Yay!!!

Today we are showcasing Vintage Clocks, a fabulous new stamp set by Nina B Designs!!! Take a look at the cards my amazing design team, stamp illustrator and guest designer have created using images from this set... beautiful!!!

Suzanne Bier - Guest Designer

Taking the Challenge with Stampin' Sisters in Christ

Hello ... Julie Ranae here with you today

sharing a fabulous challenge that is being

sponsored by The Craft's Meow

We would love to have you play along because the

winner of the challenge will receive

a stamp set of your choice!!

The challenge is to use only bright colors
{no neutrals, blacks, browns, etc}

You can also find inspiration in the scripture verse:

"For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins." Romans 3:23-24

We are happy to offer inspiration from several of designers
from the talented TCM team...

Jennifer created this beautiful design using TCM's
'God's Blessing' & 'Beautiful Spring

This amazing card was created by Karen using TCM's
'God's Blessing' & 'Hope Blooms'

Nina brings us bold, beautiful color with
TCM's 'Love Dwells Here'

'Inspired by Audrey' is the TCM set Aimes shares

to create this gorgeous design

Elizabeta brings this stunner to us using TCM's

'Lovely Labels 14' and 'Ladies & Gents'

We hope you've been inspired to play along with

this beautiful challenge. Visit the challenge blog

and find even more beautiful inspiration.
