Exciting news

I received a wonderful e-mail yesterday, from Helene, at altoa Rubber Stamps, asking me if I would like to join her design team.  It was such a lovely surprise and of course I was delighted do accept her offer!  I first heard of alota back in April, after reading a post on Clauda’s (Pretty Pressings) blog.  She had just been invited to be on Helene’s design team and posted some gorgeous pictures of some of the stamps available.  After seeing more of her cards with alota stamps, I placed my first order and have placed quite a few since!  The great thing about some of the stamps, is that they work so well with the Magnolia stamps and of course, are perfect to use on their own, as I have done with the new home card above.  You can get an idea how large the stamp is…….the card is 6″x6″.  So I am really looking forward to working with Helene and her other design team members.  Pop over to alota  and check out the stamps……………there are soooo many to choose from…….you’ll be there quite a while!!! 

I’ve just noticed that Andrea has some Magnolia blog candy to give away…I think this includes some stamps from the summer kit……..check out her blog for more details.

The second challenge at Crafty Monkeys is now up and they have a great prize on offer.  This challenge blog is for children under the age of 16……..so, with the summer holidays not far off, why not pop over and get your children crafting!
