Candy at Stamp and Create!

Now that the craziness of summer is over (big sigh!), Lacey at Stamp and Create is starting the Weekly Candy back up.
She went through some of her Stampavie stamps and noticed that a few have turned yellow.
Over the next few weeks, she's going to offer a two-stamp candy with these yellowed stamps.

This week's candy is:

Baby Fairy Flora from Mo Manning and Fiona from Gillian Roberts

They are un-used stamps and are in perfect working order,
it's just the clear stamp material has yellowed.

Here is one of my FAVE new images...Book Abigail

I created this for my friend Sarah who started her first year teaching preschool last Wednesday!  Go Sarah!  ;D

Happy Monday and don't forget to head over to Stamp and Create for a chance to win some candy!

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   atTotally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

Bugaboo Stamps are offering a very generous prize of winner's choice of 7 single digis!
