They created wonderful samples for inspiration! Our design team enjoyed the week off and now we are back and ready to go!

The challenge this week is Back to School Somethings! We wanted to take some time to celebrate everyone heading back to school this fall.

The only thing we ask is that your creation have something to do with school. You can make a card, a scrap book page, a 3d project, anything you can imagine.


Our blog candy this week has been donated by a new online stamp company called That's Jazzy Stamp Dreams! These stamps are handmade, cut and tested before being sent out. They are also made in the USA. The owner, Sheila Oxley, generously donated a few stamps set for our blog candy drawings.
