Ready for some *NEW* Rubber stamps from Pink Cat Studio?!

Hi there! I've got *NEW* rubber stamps to share from Pink Cat Studio!

Check them out!

Our first two sets are Halloween themed and feature Itty Bitty Betty dressed as a witch. She is having lots of fun with her froggy companions but if you look close you may see that some of the frogs aren't exactly having fun, LOL!

Next we have "Lily Baked a Pie". This stamp is great for many different card themes such as Thank you, Welcome Home, You're Sweet ... and last but not least, we have a pretty butterfly and flower stem stamp that is so fun to colour.These designs are also available as digi stamps. You can find them here.

Here's my sample of  "Lily Baked a Pie";

To see what the rest of the fabulous Design Team has put together for this release, please visit us over at Pink Cat Studio!

Ellephantastic Challenge: Pink & Grey!

Hello everyone!

It's time for another Ellephantastic Challenge!

This week, lovely Vanja is hosting and she has chosen to do a color challenge: Pink & Grey.
Die Cut Dreams is our sponsor with Susie offering a fabby prize and she is our guest designer!

Helen is releasing three new digis for Ellephantastic Cards & Crafts this week!

Aren't they fabby?

I adore the wedding couple and decided to use that image for my sample.

Be warned that my card is not ALL pink and grey.

I wanted to focus on the image so I used pink and grey on the image, ribbon, and pins.

To see the rest of the Design Team samples and more info on the challenge, please visit Ellephantastic Challenge Blog!

Today, August 26th, when you purchase anything from the digital or rubber stamp stores you will receive the adorable "Dr. Bear" digital stamp for free! It will be emailed to you separately and within 12 hours after you make your purchase.

I wanted to make a simple and masculine post-it note holder for our pediatrician.
