Stampotique New Release Blog Hop

Today we are joined by the Stampotique Design Team to showcase the images released from Stampotique this month.  If you haven't had a chance to see what's new, you can do that over on the Stampotique website here.

As with any of the releases, there is a variety of stamps from our artists for any stampers, scrapbookers and journalers out there.  We always love to see what your favorites are so while you are hopping around, make sure to stop by and say "hi" on our blogs and come back here and tell us what some of your favorite images from this release were.

We'll be giving away a $30 gift certificate for stamps and a grab bag of stamps on two of the blogs-but you won't know which ones they are so stop by and visit them all.  We will pick the winners on our first challenge in September.

This is Kim Howard and I've been the design team coordinator with Stampotique shortly after I begged and begged to be a part of the design team.  I've thoroughly enjoyed my time on the team, the great friends I've made, the way I've grown as a stamper, and mostly being a part of the Stampotique family.  This is my last blog hop as I turn the reigns over to my wonderful design team member in taking over for me, Claudine Criner.  Claudine will do a fabulous job and while I may not be as involved with Stampotique as I have been in previous years, I will always remain a faithful stalker.  Thank you to all of you out there who always took time to leave comments or drop me a note-I always appreciated getting them.

Have fun hopping!

SDC209: Repeat Yourself

Sam Read is our hostess this week.  Sam Read is our hostess this week. Ha ha!  She likes to be repeated:

I recently read that the human eye likes things that are repeated, so for this weeks challenge I'm inviting you to use some sort of repetition on your creations. A stamp stamped more than once or even your own doodling, it's up to you but most importantly have fun!

Make sure to stop back by on Monday Aug. 24-we will be having a blog hop featuring the new release images-and maybe a few additional chances at some goodies.

SDC August Guest Designer

We are welcoming back a designer favorite this month, the lovely and one of the original design team members, Vicki Garrett.

I am very honoured to be joining Stampotique as a Guest Designer this month.

Having been a part of the Original Stampotique Design Team, it's very exciting to be sharing my creations with you.

I have been involved in the paper crafting industry for well over a decade and enjoyed the opportunity to serve on many different design teams. I cherish the friendships and acquaintances that I would not have been privilege to, if not for this wonderful hobby.

Make sure to stop on over and visit Vicki at her blog-she'll be joining us for our first challenge of the month on Wednesday.
