I do have an extra Halloween Stamp set from the proofs plus all 4 of our NEW Image & Journal Note Booklets to GIVE AWAY!

To enter, all you have to do is post here and tell me where you are from. You don’t have to list your whole address, just what town or city and your state or province. I think it will be fun to see where people are from. I will do a draw this Saturday afternoon July 26th and announce the winner and send them the Halloween stamp set plus all 4 new books in Little Dolls, Girlfriends, Halloween and Christmas! Don’t forget to leave your email address or check back to see if you won.

The CHA Show was so much fun and we are starting to ship some of the orders to stores this week unless they ordered any of our 4 new stamp sets which will be ready to ship in 2 to 3 weeks. Vicki Chrisman and Lisa Zappa from our design team helped demo in our booth and we had a great time! These cards were created by Lisa Zappa and Michelle Wooderson from our design team. The team has started posting samples in our gallery HERE and will be adding more! Check out the adorable Halloween decorations Pam Hooten created!

I need a new camera as my lens cover keeps sticking and my photos turned out yucky. I did sneak a couple from Vicki but you can see more photos on Vicki's blog HERE.

The best news is that the biggest and best distributor; Notions Marketing wants to carry our products and they sell to thousands of retailers, so our products will be more widely available!

Here is our NEW Halloween Fun Stamp Set! Adorable and fun is the best way to describe this 4 x 6” stamp set brimming with 24 separate stamps in a mix of Halloween images and words! The cute little witch is 2.75” tall, the web is 1” x 2” the small smiling spider can hang from it or the spider in hat and shoes. The long striped border can be repeated but it also doubles as socks to fit into the witch’s shoe! The 2 little monsters with their pickle puppy will be fun to color. There are 2 size bats a solid and open star, a jack lantern postmark, a wonderful swirly corner with a matching curly line. The words; ‘Happy Halloween’, ‘Trick or Treat’, ‘BOO!’, ‘Spook-tacular’’ Little and Monsters can be mixed and matched together to make this a versatile set!

This Halloween stamp set will be available in 2 - 3 weeks. You can scroll down to see the other 3 NEW stamp sets on my previous blog post.

Here are details on all 4 of the NEW Image and Journal Notes! I'm hoping the sample pages will get bigger if you click them or the title on. These books are starting to ship to stores now and are also available here on Shopatron!
