Inkin' It Up With Kendra!

Thursday, October 04, 2007

This is straight from Kristi Ferro's blog so check it out!

Hanna Stamps! will be offering a HUGE incentive program that encourages you to start making items and sending them in for publication.

We are offering $100 for each and every publication made with Hanna Stamps! and also mentions our company name with it. Yes that is correct!! Example: If you get 5 cards published using our stamps, and the publication mentions our stamps were used to create your item, then you get $500 cold hard cash baby!!!
This is open to everyone and anyone, not just my design team. So please, start making those cards, scrapbook pages, 3-D items, and send them out. They do not have to be elaborate items. How many times have you seen magazines with cards and say to your self..."Oh man, I could have made that!!" Now is the perfect time to get going. There is no tricks or no hidden clause. It is as simple as it sounds. You get published in a national magazine with our stamps, the article says you used our stamps...and BOOM...$100. NO it is not a gift certificate either. COLD HARD CASH!!, well ok a cold hard check.
Get on over to Hanna Stamps and place your order tomorrow!!! Kristi is offering FREE SHIPPING on your order of Hanna Stamps during the month of October!

*ETA Here's the card I promised - Introducing Hanna!

New Stamp Company Design Team Excitement!

I have been waiting to share this news for quite some time now and finally I can let the cat out of the bag.....................I was asked several weeks ago by the supah sweet Kristi Ferro if I would be interested in joining her design team for her new stamp company - Hanna Stamps. I, of course, said YES! The minute I saw the first stamp set I knew it would be a winner - you all are going to so love these stamps!!! The Hanna Stamps website is still under construction and will be going live on Friday. Go to Kristi's blog and check out all the links to the design team member's blogs - there's some really cute stuff posted! I already have a sample made up with the first stampset and will be posting that this evening along with my newest sample using some of the new MFT stamps that Kim sent to me (they are uber cute!). The Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness mini set is just adorable - 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this set will be donated to breast cancer research - what a great thing! I'm telling you once I get those batteries in that camera this evening that stinkin' thing better work! lol

I also want to tell each and everyone of you that left me a comment or sent me an email about my divorce post how much I truly appreciate it! You have no idea how much your kind words and encouragement have helped me. It's definitely a tough time and I know eventually I will get through it.

Hello to all you girls and an explanation.............

Hello to everybody, I have missed posting for all of you and I have missed not being able to stamp the last couple of weeks. I have had a ton of emails wondering if I am okay and if I am still alive. Well let me tell you, just barely. I don't normally talk too much about my personal life on here - mostly just my stamping, but I decided it was about time I tell you a little of what has been going on and to let you know it is just temporary! I got served divorce papers a couple of weeks ago from my husband and that has not been a fun experience. We have been having trouble and have been separated for some time - but it didn't actually seem real until that very moment. It has hit me hard and has been a very difficult time. I am going to attempt to get some of my stuff that I made several weeks ago posted on here (woohoo for a camera to use LOL) by this weekend. I have the day off work tomorrow, it is desperately needed. Thanks for listening to my sob story. :)

If It Wasn't For Bad Luck..............

I wouldn't have any luck at all! Over the last 3-4 weeks, I have had nothing but what seems like trouble or just plain ole' bad luck! If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen to me. LOL I have so many new amazing stampsets to play with and have made a couple of really cute cards, but my stinkin' digital camera is still out of commission. I never realized how much I relied on my camera!! I need a NEW one desperately!!! I think until I can get a new one I am going to have to find one to borrow. I have gotten a ton of emails telling me you all are going thru withdrawals and wondering where my new stuff is - well, don't worry - I'll post some as soon as I can get pics!

Kim over at My Favorite Things has some really supah adorable new stamps over at her site - you should check them out if you haven't already. A big hello and THANK YOU! to my wonderful blogging friend Laura Leonard for being such a great friend, for listening and for being there! :)

Swap ATC's

I wanted to post pics of some of my new cards I made for MFT, but my camera broke! I will have to wait for my daughter to come back in town so I can borrow hers :) In the mean time - here are some ATC's that I made in July for a swap that my good friend Laura Leonard was hosting. I haven't participated in any ATC swaps before, so this was my first. I can't wait to receive all the adorable ATC's from everybody in the swap. I have to tell you they were a lot of fun to make and didn't take any time at all. Cosmobella is my absolute fave of all the Bellas - I had a fabulous time paperpiecing her pants! You can't tell from the photo - but her glass and belt are sparkly - I used my stardust pen to color them in. Have a fabulous Thursday!

Recipe:
Stamps: Cosmobella by Stamping Bella, Sentiment by My Favorite Things
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Cool Caribbean, DP by Tres Jolie
Ink: Palette Noir Burnt Umber
Accessories: Corner Rounder, Dimensionals, Grosgrain Ribbon, Brads, Prismacolor Pencils, Stardust Pen.

I'm Back and I'm Still Alive!

Thanks sooooo much for all your emails, questions and concerns about where in the heck I have been the last couple of weeks! It was appreciated more than you will ever know. There was a family emergency I had to tend to and hopefully now things will get back to normal! I have been unable to stamp the last few weeks and I am so ready to dive back in! A huge thank you to a few of my best blogging friends - Laura, Shannan, Susan and Kirsten - your emails and friendship mean a lot! I also got several emails from some gals letting me know that they thought I was a Rockin' Blogger - thanks so much and I will post the Rockin' Blogger badge on my blog!!

Since I have been unable to stamp in a while, I found this card that I made back in June using my My Favorite Things Bundles of Bouquet stampset and realized that I never posted it here. I will be posting some new cards using some of the newly released MFT stampsets in the next few days - they are TDF and are definite must haves! A big thanks to Kim Van Der Sanden for your kind words and all the wonderful things you have been sending to all of us on the Design Team! I belong to one of the greatest design teams out there - your business is growing by leaps and bounds and I am excited to be along for the ride!

Recipe
Stamps: Bundles of Bouquet by MFT
