Paper Hugs

so friends...

This card says what I'd like to say today...

but "thanks" just doesn't seem to be enough.

Seriously, thank you for your support.  The last few days have been beyond wonderful.  I am humbled by all of your super sweet words.  I hope yuu can feel the squeezy-hug that I am sending you all RIGHT NOW!

thank you!

Mosey on over to the Paper Crafts Connection blog today...you will have a chance to win all three new Paper Smooches stamp sets....please check it out

*FF The state of Washington has passed a law stating it is illegal, I repeat, illegal, to paint polka dots on the American flag* (well, they didn't mention plaid)

(Smooches)

something special is planned for you...

Please go to the Paper Smooches blog today for the first Co-Hop that brings 25 Industry Designers together to promote my new stamps.  wooohooo

I can't WAIT to see their creations!  See you over there!

OMGoodness!

What an amazing opening day!

I am overwhelmed with emotion.  Thank you a trillion times for your support!  It brings me so much joy to know that what I create is appreciated and loved and I am absolutely humbled by your kindness.

Today at the PS (Paper Smooches) Blog, I shared some projects created by the wicked talented design team. Seriously jaw-dropping stuff my friends...please check it out.

Stamps are from Birthday Buddies.

I'd love to stay and chat, but I need to finish the first batch of orders to mail today.  I am beyond excited (and downright giddy) over here...eeeek!

*FF In 1989, twenty-three people were hired in Jacksonville Florida just to flush toilets so the pipes would not freeze*

I hinted around...

ever so slightly on Friday that I have been a busy beaver...and yesterday, I posted a card with a beaver on it...well, the time has come to spill the beans!

I am just gonna say it...

I started my own stamp company!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!

My little journey began shortly after I left my design team position with Papertrey Ink.  I now have all of the love and support that I need to make my dream come true, so here I am...sharing my art work (and my dream) with you...in clear stamp form this time.

My company is called Paper Smooches

I will be releasing 3 new (hand drawn) stamp sets every month.  Please be patient for the next few days as I transition my shopping cart to accept credit cards.  My web host and Pay Pal are having issues.  Currently I accept Pay Pal payments, money order and check...but soon, I should be able to accept most forms of payment.

Wanna see???

k, I am dying over here...

please welcome:

Pretty Phrases

Wanna see some projects???

sooo, back to that beaver...you may recognize him on the Birthday Buddies set!

With many good things...there are not so good things attached.  In my case, starting a new company meant that I needed to step down from my position as a Paper Crafts Go-to Gal.  Our integrity is very important to us and it's important to be fair to all companies.  But, I will still be submitting to Paper Crafts, no doubt about that!  I LOVE each and everyone involved with that magazine, my goodness, they are all so wondeful to work with!!.  The past year and a half has been a fabulous experience and I will support them all in every way possible.  Keep an eye out for a little "good-bye" post on the Paper Crafts Connection blog.

The Paper Smooches blog is HERE. I am still getting used to blogger, so please be patient as I hope to "juice it up" soon.

I hope you will join us in the fun that's about to begin!

Cheers!!
