Okay so here I am just cruisin' along doing my fun artsy craftsy projects, making some friends, I apply for the Just Johanna Rubber Stamp company Design Team, I'm accepted, I submit some cards,make some suggestions for stamps, you know, the usual, and then whoosh...before I know it, some stamps now exist on this great big blue planet designed by yours truly!! I am just beyond thrilled! This is FUN FUN FUN! :-)
Here are a few...did I mention that one of the perks of the the Design Team is that if one of your designs is made into a stamp, you get that stamp free!!! I have to say I did not design the kitty cat (Priscilla) but since Johanna used my Santy hat on her little head, she graciously sent me the stamp!
I designed the words with the intention of using them in the Banner Frame stamp, like so...
The placement of these isn't PERFECT but you get the idea.
Here is a card I made for my friend Lisa for her bridal shower using the Small Scroll stamp.
And yes, I will be making a version of this as one of my submissions for this month. I LOVE how this turned out. Strikingly simple but I think with the doodle, it works!
Two of the other stamps Johanna made were from a bird that I had hand-carved and used on one of my submissions for the Design Team. I can't tell you how amazed I am at how beautiful this turned out. I don't mean to brag (or at least not TOO much) but if I saw this stamp, I would want to buy it! And the fact that Johanna did an outline and a shadow just floors me! I'm totally diggin' it!
Okay okay...thanks for indulging me! Hope you enjoy your Monday evening! So what's good on cable on Monday nights?
Whee! What fun to see your designs all official :)
