A+ Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

Here is a wee little sneaky peeky of our Teacher Fhiona stamp sets. Of course once again I can’t show you Fhiona, well I can but I’m not going to, at least not until Friday 🙂

I totally went out of my comfort zone to make this card…I put away the Copics and the glitter and used my blender pen to color in the apple and books – YAY for me! Ok actually I broke out the Copic glitter for the A+ in the book 🙂 I just can’t help myself! Isn’t that little worm in the apple adorable! I’m also a huge fan of watermarking my card stock so if you look closely you’ll see some of the other little stamps that come with the sets watermarked on the brown card stock 🙂

Anyone who comments on this post and can correctly list the 2 watermarked images will be entered into a draw for a Teacher Fhiona stamp set 🙂 I’ll draw the name on Friday! FUN!

An oopsie add on…Ok so from the posts below I really need someone else to take pictures for me – ahhhhh – the watermark looks really cool on the actualy card 🙂 so a little change up…anyone who just comments on this post will be entered in the draw! More FUN!

Also don’t forget that we have FREE shipping until Friday!

Have an A+ day!

Fairy Wishes = Free Shipping!

I just love this image! Fairy Fhiona looks so cute with her wings on and I had so much fun adding the little crystals for the fairy dust floating out of the magical wand. And of course she has glittery wings – as you all know by now, I love anything that sparkles!

Since I’m in a ‘fairy wishes’ mood I thought it would be fun to give everyone free shipping until Friday! WOW! How cool is that! Coupon Code is shipmefree – just enter this code at checkout and your shipping will be totally on us!

Tomorrow I’ll give you a sneaky peeky of the Teacher Fhiona sets and then since our DT call ends on Friday I’ll keep the fun going with the launch of our new Halloween Fhiona stamp sets and cool Halloween goodies along with our new Teacher Fhiona stamp sets 🙂 FUN!

Have a magical day!

Not So Scary Monday Sneaky Peeky!

Posted by: YNS on Monday, August 24, 2009 at 11:21 am

When I was a child I was terrified of Halloween masks and all the houses that played the creepy music on Halloween night. My son Brandon (15 months) on the other hand thinks all these creepy masks and eerie displays are rather funny! We walked by a display in the mall that had a rather grotesque witch and goblin, I proceeded to walk faster thinking to myself, oh my I hope he doesn’t see this, but he did see it and proceeded to point and laugh at all the display characters! It was actually quite adorable and all the people walking by thought he was the funniest little boy with his crazy chuckle. I think he would have taken them home if I let him 🙂

So with all the Halloween costumes and displays out in the stores I thought I would celebrate this wonderful Monday with a little sneaky peeky card. I call it ‘not so scary’ because that little ghost is just too adorable to be scary – just the way I like them! I’m sharing with you a really simple card with one of Fhiona’s little friends – I couldn’t let you see her in costume just yet! The candy stamp used for the background paper is one of Fhiona’s favorite treats! YUM YUM!

Stay tuned for the launch date of all our Halloween stamps and goodies. Later this week I’ll give you a little glimmer of the Teacher stamps as well 🙂 FUN!

Enjoy your day!

Hugs

Happy Friday!!!

It’s Friday and I couldn’t think of any better card to share with everyone then the Happy Days Mermaid! Isn’t she just darling?

Now that lots of people have their stamps on the way to them to ink up and start creating I would LOVE to have you share your creations so I can post them for everyone to see! Since we won’t be starting challenges for approximately 6 weeks I’ve decided to arrange a little giveaway 🙂

Anyone who sends me a card using a Your Next Stamp image will have their name placed in a draw for a $2o gift certificate to use in our store! Once I start receiving entries I’ll start drawing names every 2 weeks until we start our challenges – FUN!!!

Oh and I should let you know that my sister has hot water – YAY!!! She won’t stink when I visit her on Sunday – LOL 🙂

Have fantastic weekend everyone!

Bubbles

My sister got back from her family camping trip late last night and called this morning to tell me they have no hot water!!! She then said the repair man told her the parts to fix the hot water problem are on back order – oh my goodness, all dirty and no hot water – not good!

So I’m posting this card of Bubbly Fun Fhiona in hopes that she gets some hot water really soon and can relax.

I hope everyone has a relaxing evening.

This is for Fhiona

Fhiona (our super amazing) illustrator has been working on some new images and they are fantastic! I just can’t wait to share everything with you! Look for a mini new release in the beginning of September 🙂

I’m sharing this card that Melanie made using Rainy Day Fhiona just for Fhiona because she is getting horrible summer weather in the UK and this little image always makes me smile even on a cold wet day 🙂

Rainy days don’t get me down! I just love that sentiment!

Enjoy your day everyone!

Hugs

Happy Tuesday!

Good Morning!

I’m so happy to see that many of you took advantage of our ‘crazy’ sale! Every once in a while you’ll find that I do crazy things like that just because it’s fun and I like to make sure that all of you know how much you are appreciated! As you know we are a new business so it’s really nice to see people enjoying our stamps as much as we do!

I’m sharing a card with you today that I made using our Prince Charming stamp set – my hubby picked it out – wonder why??? ha ha ha – pardon the photo – I really need some photography lessons – or maybe it’s just the fact that I love glitter way too much and that darn flash just gets in the way 🙂 – it’s probably both! I used the versamark dazzle to give the paper a glossy glittery shine – so pretty!

Many more thanks to all our DT submissions – you all just amaze me! We are going to have a really tough time only selecting 4 or 5 of you!

Cheers
