Hi everyone! And hello to any new readers stopping by my blog for the first time today! I'm sharing a fun and happy announcement! I have been invited to join the lovely ladies of the Papertrey Ink Design Team for the coming year! I was so happy and excited to receive an email from Nichole a couple of weeks ago asking me to be part of her amazing company. I have been a major fan of Papertrey Ink for many years and always enjoy creating with their wonderful stamps and dies (and kits!) I am looking forward to a new adventure with creative people I really admire. And, I'm also really looking forward to using my PTI supplies on a more regular basis.
Papertrey Ink is celebrating 10 years in business this year, and we have an amazing 10 day celebration planned for all of you starting tomorrow! The Design Team will all be featuring stamp sets from the past ten years as we look back on all the joy and fun we have had through the years with our PTI stamping! I will have my first blog post tomorrow featuring a stamp set from 2007! I will have more posts throughout the ten days as we feature one year each day. To see all the news and to stay up to date on the happenings and fun - CLICK HERE to visit the official Papertrey Ink Blog and see the design team announcement! I will be happy to have you along with me on this new opportunity as we share and stamp together.
I thought it would be fun to go back through my blog archives and pick out some of my favorite PTI cards and projects through the years. If you CLICK on the photo, it will take you to the blog post explaining how I made each project!
Thanks for stopping in today! Hope you've had a great week! It went by really fast here at my house - super busy. Today I'm attending a social media event put on by one of our local news stations for influencers in the Sacramento area. Looking forward to that very much. Tomorrow I will have a post on the Simon Says Stamp blog and then also right here on my blog with the first of my posts for Papertrey Ink. My planner has seen a lot of action lately! Be well and take care friends. Have a great weekend. XOXO
Congrats Wanda! So happy for you! Looking forward to seeing all your amazing works of art for PTI.
Hugs ♥
