Happy Saturday!!

Girl Friday Dana has a positvely darling Christmas card for you today!
She combined Zigs & Zags, Merry Kiss-mas and Snowflake Greetings 
to create this little bit of holiday happy...

I love her little fussy cut packages scattered across the top of the card.
The sentiment stamped twice is super cute in 2 fun holiday colors.
And the cute little Zigs & Zags pattern on the bottom adds a little zing :)

Have you made your Christmas cards or tags yet? 
We still have our Christmas sets available in the store
and our next trip to the post office is Monday!

Novemer 17

Happy Sunday!!

Today I have a lovely card from Girl Friday Sylvia
that is pure sunshine on a cloudy day :)


Gosh! I just love how she inked up those gorgeous blooms from Loving Thoughts
and cut the out with our Loving Blooms Fri-Die.
That white on white panel is so stunning and did you notice the rounded corner at the top?
Yum!
The rhinestone centers add the perfect amount of sparkle.
Wouldn't you love to receive a card like this?
I'll bet you know of at least 1 person who would love to receive one from you!

Enjoy the last day of the weekend...Monday is coming :)

November Sneak Peek Week Day 3

Welcome back to Day 3 of
November Sneak Peek Week!!

I love text!!
It's one of my favorite looks in cardmaking.
I wanted to create a texty background set, 
but I didn't want to hijack anyone else's writings.
So,
one day, I sat in my backyard, trying to clear my head 
(it gets quite full at times)
and so I closed my eyes, 
and just listened for a while,
before opening them again 
to see things simply.
And then I wrote.

Introducing...
Out Loud















4 different text styles ranging from elegant to graphic
that will coordinate with any style of paper. or design elements, you want to use.

Well...I asked and you definitely answered!
You all clearly love seeing the stamps revealed with the sneak projects,
soooo...from now on, that's what we'll do :)

And just to keep the happy train rolling down the tracks...
Let's go ahead and release the stamps!!!

They are all available right now!

November Sneak Peek Week Day 2

We're back!
It's Day 2 of our November Sneak Peek Week!!

A few months ago I released a Christmas Set
that has a very pretty flower in it, called Christmas Carols.
Then I created a darling 4 Petal Fri-Die to coordinate with it.
That flower is so pretty, and I like it so much,
that I decided to do a companion set that you can 
certainly coordinate with Christmas Carols, but 
can also use 
year 'round!

Introducing...
Wallflower

















I hope you likey!
We'll be getting the pinterest boards set up for the new sets soon.
Which board is your favorite so far?

The Ink Squad and I will be back tomorrow with 1 more very cool set for your
oohing and aahing delight.

November Sneak Peek Week Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps 
November
Sneak Peek Week!!


I'm so glad you're here to join the party!
We have  3 great stamp sets debuting this month! 

The Girl Friday Ink Squad will bring you inspiration from a new set each day this week,
and everything will be available in stores on November 14th!

Are you ready to see the first stamp set?
I listen to a lot of music when I create...loudly :)
I've had a lyric rolling around in my head for some time now from Maroon 5.
One day, the words just clicked into action
and the inspiration took on a life of its own.

The Girl Fridays really rocked it, as usual!
I am so completely delighted by each creation they made,
I'm not even gonna talk through their parade.
Prepare to drool!!

Introducing...

I thought we would switch things up a bit this month.
The set will be available in stores on November 14th,
but we're going to show it to you now!!

The font is the same size and style as Calm and Gentle
so I think you'll have lots of fun pairing them together :)

Please leave a comment right here telling us what you think so far!
Do you like being able to see the set now instead of waiting til the end of the week?

We'll be back tomorrow with another fun set
that will coordinate with one of our current Fri-Dies :)
