Major rubber stamp related news... The launch of TBS!

Everyone, I have a very important announcement to make today.

As you know, I got my start in the wonderful rubber stamp business by designing characters for Motivet. There I was discovered by Marie from The Greeting Farm and got my first exclusivity contract --a very happy event, and one that effectively changed my life. Working with Marie is the best thing to ever happen to me as far as my profession goes. I also made many new friends and became better known as an artist.

My contract with TGF comes to an end this month. I know there is demand for my designs, and I've come to love this line of business so much that I don't want to leave it behind to pursue other projects --at least not for a good while yet! So, drum roll please... I have decided to open my own rubber stamp store!!!

Over the past few months I have been quite busy designing the website, adding a blog, manufacturing the first rubber stamp, and other related things. And the day is finally here! I am happy to announce the official launch of...

The Stamping Bazaar!
www.thestampingbazaar.com

Right now there is only one stamp available for purchase both in rubber and digital versions. More will be added soon. But first, I need a design team --and that's where you come in! ;)

Please click here to view TSB's Design Team terms and requirements. I look forward to receiving your applications! Currently, five positions are available, and you have until July 29th to apply. Chosen DT members will be announced on August 15th.

But that's not all the big news today: visit The Stamping Bazaar blog right now for a chance to win the first digi giveaway, Hansel the Deer!

I hope you enjoy browsing the new website, bare as the store is at the moment. As usual, you will have a say in what I draw and also what is released first via polls and comments, except it won't be on this blog, but on the TSB one.

I hope you look forward to this new venture as much as I am. I wouldn't be daring to start something like this without all the support you've shown for my work.

Cheers!
