EXCITING NEWS!!!

For those who have visited my blog on a fairly regular basis, I hope you have noticed this for a few months now at the top of my blog:


Hot Myspace Generators

I am afraid it has been there a bit longer then I have wanted it to be, but I thought I would go ahead and share my exciting news with you. OH MY, I can't believe I am actually saying this out loud and to soo many cyber space friends...So, before I burst with excitement I just want to say that God has truly blessed me with an awesome talent in the drawing category and an awesome husband for support and encouragement. I have always love to express myself through drawing. And over the years I have done professional murals, paintings and animal portraits. Now I still love to do that but I have always wanted to do something to earn an income that I could more or less mass produce with my art and stay at home with my children. Now I know there are lots of things I could do, but since entering the paper crafting/scrapping world I just know that this is for me. So, without further jibber jabber and much bravery I am announcing to the world I am going to open my own line of photopolymer stamps! I am hoping to open with a website, so if there is anyone out there with great knowledge about that or has great input for me regarding a website I would greatly appreciate it. I have many many designs already drawn up, I have my company chosen to turn my designs into photopolymer stamps, but I am working on a budget to get started so even though I have many many designs I will only be able to produce so many in the beginning to start out with. So, I think I might be placing some designs on my blog to ask for input from all of you to help me decide which designs should go into production first as to help me in deciding what people will want. I have been around long enough to have my own idea for that, but I am sure there will be some that will be more favored then others. I will have a wide range all my own original designs; from fairies, to cute animals, to realisitic images that I feel you can use on an everyday kind of card. I will also have verses and sentiments. I will do sets and single stamps also. I should have quite the varity. I am soo excited and wish I had 5 grand to start this all out, but I don't, so starting out slow and positive I guess is not all bad. So, with all of your help I would like to start achieving a base of followers. I think I might start posting a free digi stamp once a week that you won't get in photopolymer, but I haven't gotten that all figured out yet. Starting this all up is like "which came first the egg or the chicken?" kind of thing... making me so crazy!! Although I still feel like I am moving forward in a daze. Below are 2 of my images that I have messed around with in making a card. I hope to be posting more soon, but man, 4 children, summer and working on all this my time really is consumed and busy. So, please keep checking back and please send other stampers my way once this gets up and going. I also will be looking for a design team in the future too for my site/blog. I would love to tell you my stamp company's name, but until I have that all worked out that is still top-secret..... So... sit back and eat a cupcake or something yummy and and help me spread the word once I get there....SOOOO if you made it this far I really truly appreicate all your support and encouragement!!

Here are 2 of my images I have used in making a card I gave to someone:








Since these are not actually stamps yet, these were brought into my printshop program and just printed off my computer. So REALLY, if you have any suggestions, input of what you would like to see or sizes that are your favorite or really just anything, PLEASE feel free to leave me some kind of comment and make me feel like I am alive and someone has interest in all of this except me!! ((smiling really big))

So, here's to a bright new future and a new line of original stamps from none other then little 'ole me!!
