We had a few of our designers join Celeste by creating layouts - we hope you'll join in by creating an October Afternoon layout using this sketch.  Add a link to your layout in our comments section and we'll pick one lucky winner at random to receive a fantastic OA clear stamp set!  (Winner will be chosen on Sunday Feb 22)

There were so many great responses (way to think fast on your feet, ladies!), that we had to pick two winners!

Here they are:

I'm also thinking that turning them into magnets for writing refrigerator messages would be fun! :)  ***Posted by: Greta | February 17, 2009 at 01:15 PM

I'd take all the As & adhere them to a white canvas then add something that began with the letter 'A' under it. Kind of like what they have bordering the ceiling in school classrooms. Of course, I'd use the Bs, Cs, & so on. :)  ***Posted by: Andrea Katz | February 17, 2009 at 01:16 PM

Greta & Andrea, e-mail us your shipping address along with your choice of stamp set!  :)

Cherry Hill - Full Reveal (part 7)

We have been saving the best (and most mysterious) Cherry Hill item for last . . .  Wild Cards!

An interesting side note:  The complete lack of information about this brand-new product has not deterred many of our Retailers.  We have had many orders *already* for Wild Cards, and we haven't shown them to anybody until now!

First, the picture:

Then the description:  Wild Cards are 2.5"x3.5" cards (approximately playing card size) which come in a pack of 9 cards (one of each design shown above).  These cards are printed on a very heavy cardstock!

These cards have many uses, however I personally can't wait to make a mini-book out of them!
