I love pink and green together.. Annette used our new Chatterbox and Monster Mash sets to create these three little fellas letting you know they only have eyes for you :) I love that twine on the side of the card!

Here is Lisa with not one but two cards for us today. A masculine version and a girly girl version. So cute using Gotta Bug and Chatterbox. I am loving the green with the black..

and the cute paper piecing, stitching, and fun look of these cards are sure to cheer anyone up.

March Release HERE 10 NEW SETS!!!

2012-02-29T22:00:00.005-07:00

Yay!! it's here.. we are so excited to show you TAWS March stamps.. (We now accept CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS TOO click here to learn how) woohoo...

before all the fun stuff.. :) I wanted to show you this..

Barb created a CAS card for us today using Chatterbox to full effect! She repeatedly stamped the "dream in COLOR" sentiment, slightly offsetting it each time. I love the subtle touch of color in the bubbles of the letters and in the skinny alcohol inked strip along the bottom edge! A perfect way to put those pretty scraps to use and to really dream in color :)

Marcy created this amazing colorful cupcake card. I love the gems, and how she made the card stand out with those fun colors :)

NOW :) I wanted to tell you something fun we are going to be doing each month.. Each month on our Facebook page all month long, you can post pictures of your creations using your TAWS stamps or the freebies we provide.. at the end of the month one random person will be a lucky winner who will receive a stamp set of their choice. There is NO max, you can upload as many as you want!! So get creating and upload those creations!!

For our next Surprise!! are you all ready???

This month in honor of CHA and since we didn't get to go, we wanted to have our own online CHA release with YOU!!! So when you spend $75.00 or more in the store you get a FREE stamp set.. (all you have to do is add $75.00 worth of product in your cart, when checking out put what set you would like for free in the comment section)

Here are our sneak peeks of our stamp sets, and to tell you how it will work.. Click

Our fun stamps for this month are..

adoraBOWL-hehe it's just that.. adorable. This is a fun retro set, that is sure to get you in the mood to have a good time. There were some of you requesting a fun bowling set, so we put our thinking caps on and came up with this. Fun 50's glasses, and sentiments to match each image.. You won't have to "SPARE" any details when you buy this set.

Chatterbox-is another fun play on words set that is perfect for merging.. This set will go perfect with any of TAWS sets you have, but will rock it with the Jibber Jabber set. We have also added some fun sentiments like BEE-tween, or BEE-cause.. so you can use it with the Priceless Joy set.. or how about Spread your "wings" and fly to go with the plane.. the options are endless.

ei-ei-o- Old McDonald did have a farm, and I bet it was something cute like this.. with a fun barn, a cute fly buzzing around, and some little animals to make sure you can put an "oink, oink, here and an oink, oink, there" this set goes perfectly with our "get moovin set"

get moovin-we had to do a fun horse and cow, we wanted to add a horseshoe, cloud, raindrop, hay, chicken scratch, and the perfect sentiments to partner up with the ei-ei-o set..

Gotta Bug?-This set is perfect to use for those people you know who need a little pick me up, feeling blue, or they have "caught a bug".. send them a jar full of warm fuzzies, or maybe you know someone who is a total "pill or Prescription" when they are sick.. there is even a little guy to help you out.. how about put one of the 3 faces on the band-aide, inside the jar, on the warm fuzzies, or on the prescription bottle. The pills come out of the jar for the popular stamp in a stamp to give you an extra added bit of fun.

Hey Cupcake-this set is so versatile I am so excited to share it with you. Build your own cupcakes the way YOU want them, place the fun faces inside the cherries, on the cupcakes, or leave them off.. this really is a set that you get to have it YOUR way! This set also features the popular stamp in a stamp to give you an extra added bit of fun.

Monster Mash- I really love this set.. how fun are monsters? I love them, and to be able to make them the way you want them, is even better. Teeth, no teeth, one eye, two, or 10. How about a girl monster with a boy, this is a perfect set to make for an anniversary card, or just to tell your friend how special they are. My favorite sentiment from this set.. "My imaginary friend said you're special." hehe...

Mustache Mania-this set is near and dear to my heart.. I only have 2 pictures with my Dad without a Mustache, I love them.. This is such a fun set with patterned mustaches, and barber shop poles.. old fashioned razors are sure to make sure you have the perfect trim.

Phraseology-I love background sets.. and what is more fun than your own WORD SEARCH.. find words like Celebrate, BFF, Laugh Often, I heart you, a note, Kiss Me, etc.. there are so many fun phrases, and words on this stamp. It will be fun to circle, chalk, or even cut out your perfect phrase and use it as a background.

Work it Out-I don't know about you, but one of my New Year's goals is to be fit.. not skinny, just healthy.. and this set was a perfect set for me to motivate all my friends who want to do the same thing.. It's a great way to show them that you support them wanting to be healthy and fit.!

I hope you are just as excited as we are about these new sets..Come back tomorrow to see if you are one of our lucky Behind the Alley Blog hop winners :)

Annette made this yummy card using our Hey Cupcake stamp set.. I love how she added glossy accents, and hung the bow for a banner..:) the patterned paper is so fun too..

Barb is a big animal lover, so it's only natural that our new Moovin' and ei-ei-o sets are quick additions to her TAWS favorites list! She's colored these guys with colored pencils then added lots of texture, layers and a bright distress-stained background to make everything pop.

I love texture, and Marcy created this stunning card with lots of it. Using the Background Basics for the fun polka-dots, and the Talk to Me set for the sentiment she brought this card into pure harmony. Don't you just love that cardboard.. so fun and trendy.

Lisa's fun and unique card is sure to get her sentiment across. I love that she used the light lavender and then pop out one word in black. With the "love" Jibber Jabber sentiment going every which way. Look at that dimension on that little squirrel from Crazy Critters. Just add twine and a button and you are set!

Encouraging words

2012-02-16T01:01:00.003-07:00

I am excited so show you Annettes colorful creation using our Talk To Me, Crazy Critters and Priceless Joy. I love the patterns she picked, and how she separated them using twine.. how fun right?? And of course some talking bubbles :)

You all know I love shaped cards.. Barb paper pieced an encouraging card using Crazy Critters, Talk to Me set.. Don't you just love that plaid paper with the adorable little squirrel.. those fun mushrooms give this card a woodland feel too.. and it wouldn't be complete without some twine, and a sentiment from Kitchen Gadgets.

Color..

2012-02-15T01:01:00.002-07:00

I love color...

Laurel created this adorable birthday card stash! I am in love with the numbers at the top and the fun colors.. For this one she has used the Crazy Critters, Talk to Me and the Snow Much Fun sets to create it.. Don't you just adore that little bird sitting on the banner at the top, and how the sentiment flies off the card.. it just screams a celebration.. :)

Lisa's colorful card showcases Background Basics using the Chevrons and a rainbow of ink colors. Love how she masked off a border and outlined it with black pen. Her sentiment from the Jibber Jabber set takes me back to the Janet Jackson song. Oh those cute little birds from Priceless Joy are the icing on this creation. Rainbows always make me so happy, and so does this card..

Chevron fun

2012-02-14T01:01:00.001-07:00

I just adore the way Marcy use the chevron from the Background Basic set to make grass.. Don't you just love how she colored her little fox.. and the polka-dot sky is so fun..

Barb has created a card using the Roadway stamp from Background Basics to make this plaid patterned "fabric of love"! Navy, white and gold inks make up the pattern and a computer-generated sentiment reads like a care tag. Sweet! Head over to Barb's blog for more details.

Paper piecing!! We LOVE you..

2012-02-13T01:01:00.002-07:00

LOVE is in the air I tell you :)

I love patterned paper.. and this cars screams it.. Annette used Talk to Me and Crazy Critters to paper piece this beautiful card together.. I love that she put the owl on the stump.. and has a bow on the talking bubble.. how fun is this..

Laurel paper pieced the Priceless Joy car. Using the Background Basics to create the little funky cross road, then added the little clouds from the Crazy Critters set. of course she had to add a cute little banner letting everyone know that this car was "just married." how fun right :)

Talking Bubbles are in...

2012-02-10T01:01:00.010-07:00

it's so much fun to see how these talking bubbles from Talk to Me set are being used.. Marcy created this fun mini album page celebrating a marathon rum.. the fun bright colors just bring it to life.. using some sentiments from our Crazy Critters set too

Laurel has used two sentiment sets (Talk to Me and Jibber Jabber) to create this quick and easy card for another little boy in her class. If you love monsters.. then wait until you see what's coming your way in March! Don't you just love the fun, bright colors..

Anyone love KRAFT.. :) ME!!

2012-02-09T01:01:00.002-07:00

Barb has created a CAS card set for us today. She used Background Basics and Jibber Jabber. Here is one of the cards which shows the basic design...all she changed out from one card to the next was the sentiment. She used the kissing technique to apply a woodgrain pattern to the solid chevron background stamp. The whole design was highlighted with a light spray of white mist. Quick, simple and suitable for anyone at all. Visit her blog to see the rest of the set and for details about how the cards were constructed.

Lisa made a UNIQUE card using February's Crazy Critters and Talk To Me sets. Just look how that white mushroom pops on that Kraft! Lovin' those masked shrooms and white sentiment.This would be so fun to to do in a rainbow of colors too.. what a great idea..

lift off

2012-02-08T01:01:00.002-07:00

lift off with Annette, she used the new Basic Background stamp set and created this fun runway. Using the wheel from the car in Priceless Joy. She also used Talk to me and Crazy Critters.

Laurel used the Background Basics to create a notebook paper which when punched with a notebook punch works really well for this school themed card. The little owl is from Crazy Critters and of course the talking bubble is from Talk to Me. I just love how she created a scene.. that red really brings this card some pop!

don't forget our BE inspired Challenge.. top right of the blog.. also link ANY project using TAWS stamps.. as long as they have not been posted there before to our Facebook page and our Creation Blvd to be spotlighted, and win a free stamp set.. :) hope you come and play!

Oh Happy Day!!

2012-02-07T01:01:00.003-07:00

It is a happy day.. today we have some adorable creations to show you.. don't you just love that Marcy created a little blue and brown squirrel.. :) hehe.. and the ribbon and button is perfect..

Here is a fun Video with Ali..making the card above.. if you would like to see more detailed photos go to her blog..

aww...

2012-02-06T01:01:00.002-07:00

I just love the colors of Laurel's creation.. it's simply stunning.. I love how she used the Background Basics for the heart and banner, and paired them with some words from the Priceless Joy set.

don't you just love the soft clouds Lisa created to make sure her bee was bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing by. this fun bee from Priceless Joy. With the help of the new Talk To Me set this little bee is making sure everyone hears what it has to say!

dream big...

2012-02-03T01:01:00.001-07:00

oh my goodness.. I am in love with this simple, yet stunning card that Barb created I just love how the little bird is looking up, and it's the moon that is "speaking".. The fun background really gives such a neat effect to the overall design.. you can read more on the details on her blog.. :)

I just adore little boy cards.. maybe it's because I don't think there are enough out there, and I can't ever get enough of them.. Laurel created this beautiful muted boy card using the priceless joy set.. don't you think it's priceless??

stack up the hugs! Marcy created this adorable bright card with her little birds stacked on top of eachother. I love the texture she added with the ribbon edge.. how fun!

This is so fun how Lisa used five sentiments from Jibber Jabber to make this background. Her little car from Priceless Joy just shines with brads and dimensional glaze. Love that slanted road and handstitched road lines. This car is perfect for a teenager that just got their license. Lisa even made this card by lantern light during a power outage due to snow. Thanks Lisa for being such a trooper :)

TOMORROW!!! Come back for chances to win some new stamps from the FEB release.. :) you don't want to miss the sneak peeks... they are wonderful!!

Retro anyone?

2012-01-24T01:01:00.003-07:00

I am getting excited to tell you come Thursday in just 2 days...we are having a Behind the Alley Sneak Peek blog hop with prizes and peeks at FEB stamps.. you won't want to miss it.. make sure to come back each day and check it out...

Retro anyone? I love the retro feel this card has with the teal and red (one of my favorite color combos) Annette is Poppin' by to share a little creation Kitchen Gadgets and Jibber Jabber stamp sets. With a little added twine and some cute polka dots. Don't you love how she has her words poppin' out of that toaster :) YOU ROCK Annette..!

Barb's created a CAS, graphic card to showcase the cool car image from Priceless Joy. To show movement of the image, she's just stamped off the ink! The sentiment, from Kitchen Gadgets, was stamped on a black cardstock banner then heat embossed in white. By adding some matte black rhinestones and rounding a couple of corners we can say this cute, CAS is done! :) LOVE IT!!!

Marcy has used the adorable car stamp too.. I love the speed way feel of the race track.. don't you just think this would be such a fun little boy card.. loving the primary colors..

come back tomorrow to see some more designs.. :) we are getting so close to our hop on THURSDAY!!!

hehehe..

2012-01-23T01:01:00.004-07:00

I am getting excited to tell you come Thursday we are having a Behind the Alley Sneak Peek blog hop with prizes and peeks at FEB stamps.. you won't want to miss it.. make sure to come back each day and check it out...

hehehe.. I love how Annette is not shy letting us know how a few of her friends are flakey Snow Much Fun stamp set. Don't you just love how she used so many patterned papers to create such a fun card..

Laurel has combined all of our sets on one cute little card. The Elephant is from Priceless Joy, the little Birdie is from Snow Much Fun, the Sentiment is from Jibber Jabber and finally the face on the balloon is from Kitchen Gadgets. I love how she stacked the bird on the elephant.. and how fun is that balloon? Another wonderful card for one of her Grade One students.

Happy "BEE" Day. Lisa combined sets Priceless Joy and Jibber Jabber to make a punny Birthday Card. She heat embossed her images on Vellum and sewed the strip onto her card front for a frosted look. I love that adorable, fun, funky paper.. it's a perfect fit.. and the embossing brings texture to her amazing creation..

oh my goodness...

2012-01-20T01:01:00.003-07:00

okay SERIOUSLY excited.. if you know me I love finding different ways to use stamps.. little bits and pieces here and there..I am so excited to share with you today's creations.. do you remember seeing a banner in the sky behind a plane? I do.. I don't know if that dates me as to being old.. :) well Barb has created the most adorable card with the colors gradually changing. I love how she mixed and matched the sentiments..

Lisa's creation using the Kitchen Gadgets set. She discovered that the label on the jam jar makes the perfect slice of bread or here toast, all you have to do is flip it upside down.. How cool is that... Just love these smiling toasts on this "hi" card.

Marcy also used the plane and star images from Priceless Joy and the sentiment from Kitchen Gadgets. I am loving the way she placed the sentiment inside a big cloud.. and LOVE the glittery stars..

this has been such an inspiring day.. :)

2012-01-19T01:01:00.004-07:00

don't you just love how playful this card is. One of my favorite things is that all TAWS can be used together to create your one of a kind scenes like Laurel did here.. don't you just love those clouds in the background too..

Barb created a scene using the adorable snowman from Snow Much Fun. The scene was built using cardstock stickers from a popular paper pack you may already have at home. The snowflake and swirl images also from the Snow Much Fun set were stamped on the sentiment banner to make it part of the scene. A puffy, baby blue gingham bow, adorned with a handmade button and jingle bell sit on a bed of felt snowflakes to finish off the card! This is the perfect card to ring in the new year.

Marcy used the "thanks" sentiment from Jibber Jabber. Using gray ink so that the overall

effect would be soft, she then added loads of bling and a big, sumptuous flower for that really girly look. I love the soft yet stunning way she made this card.

feeling the love...

2012-01-18T01:01:00.004-07:00

one of my favorite things to do with sentiment sets is to use them as backgrounds..it looks like I am not the only one.. Annette used the Jibber Jabber set to do just that. How fun she made the hearts pop and added a little twine. I am feeling the love... are you? :)

seriously cute.. I just love a little bird selling snowballs.. and Laurel used real mini cotton balls to add some texture to this card. I love that she shared the earmuffs with this little bird. We don't want it's beak to get cold.

I love felt.. there is something so fun about it that brings me back to when I was a child. I have yet to try it on a card, but Barb's card is so inspiring. I think I might just have to get some and try it out. I just love the soft colors of this baby card.. and do you love it that it's not your "typical" baby card. :)

tied up with strings

2012-01-17T01:01:00.004-07:00

Who doesn't love Kraft and gingham?! Lisa is bringing us this scallop cutie using Kitchen Gadgets. Love how she masked off the sentiment to fit around the jars. And just look at those twine bows! The kraft just makes these images pop right off the card.

I love how this little snowman is bringing on the snow.. the paper piecing that Laurel did really has brought this little fella to life. Don't you just love the mittens in the background.

I love how simply stunning this card is. Barb created her own embossed background by cutting out a bunch of hearts and gluing them down. Don't you just adore the white sentiment on that light grey/white.. the fun twine brings in just a pop of color.

hope you are having a wonderful week...

in a Jam....

2012-01-16T01:01:00.002-07:00

oh my goodness.. I was laughing so hard when I first saw this adorable creation by Annette, and she is in a jam....Looks like the bee's have made there way through and are on the attack. She used the Kitchen Gadgets and Priceless Joy stamp sets. Don't you just love that she has one of the jars open.. and the twine for stripes.. eekkkk..

Here Lisa has made a country snowman tag using Snow Much Fun and Jibber Jabber Sets. The "for you" sentiment works perfectly on this gift tag. This little guy is the perfect adornment to these yummy snow ball cookies. I just love how she attached him with a safety pin, and added a heart..

Marcy used the butterfly from Priceless Joy and the sentiment from Jibber Jabber. I love the mixed pattern papers she used for her design and to paper piece the butterfly. Look how sparkly the glittered wings make the butterfly look. I also love that she added the sentiment hanging from the bow.

so funny!!

2012-01-13T01:01:00.002-07:00

Who doesn't enjoy carrying on with friends? Barb has created a card full of chickies who seem to be acting the fool to make us laugh today. Ear muffs as...a beak warmer? A top hat about to fall off one chickie, while another is blinded by his scarf. Then there's the chickie on stilts hovering over the last chickie using the snowman's arms as antlers. Too fun! Felt snowhills layer the scene, and yellow twine tied in a bow brings your eye up to the punny sentiment...which sums up our little scene quite nicely! :) I just love how she has combined the images to make such a fun card.

Lisa has created a fun CAS card using KITCHEN GADGETS and JIBBER JABBER sets. Sh used black and white throughout her card with just a pop of color. I love making just one word pop off a card. Very effective. Love that popped up scale and twine french knot accents. So fun!

Marcy made this fun vibrant colored birthday card using the butterfly image from the

PRICELESS JOY and sentiments from the JIBBER JABBER sets. The butterfly totally brings this card together with the perfect balance of colors :)

I love how she cut out the butterfly and popped it off the card. That little button and twine is a perfect finishing touch.

It's a bird.. no it's a plane.....

2012-01-12T01:01:00.004-07:00

Yes.. yes.. planes...

Today we have some Priceless cards for you. Laurel has used the airplane from Priceless Joy set and did some paper piecing with it. Don't you just love how she stitched the background, and used squares to "tie" them together.. :) The plane, banner and clouds are mounted with some foam squares for some dimension. Finally, all tied off with a bit of twine. Perfect for a little boy in Laurel's Grade One classroom.

Celebrate with some homemade wrapping paper. Annette has made this gift a little more special using the new Jibber Jabber and Priceless Joy stamp sets. With a little twine and homemade tag, this little boy is going to love this fun gift. Don't you just love how she stamped the airplane on patterned paper to really make it pop off the page :)

oh how I love little ones.. this is just the perfect gift card holder created by Marcy , she used the priceless joy set. Don't you just adore that little elephant with the brown ear, and placing him inside the circle is perfect.. the fun buttons on the side of the sentiment really adds such a whimsical feel to this.

I hope you will join us tomorrow with some more inspiration using these fun stamps.. hugs

adorable...

2012-01-11T01:01:00.021-07:00

are you all ready for some more adorable creations??

Barb is back with a very CAS design. It's a mini too at less than 4" square! She combined three images from Snow Much Fun (the bucket, and the heart) and Kitchen Gadgets (scale) and then the individual words from Jibber Jabber create the sentiment. I just love how she cut out the hearts and put them in the "bowl".. adding some diamond glaze was a perfect way to make them look like they were under glass.. LOVE IT!! Look how the tilted image nestles right into the sentiment!

Next is Lisa's Circus tent shape card. She used sets Priceless Joy, Jibber Jabber and Snow Much Fun to make this cute baby card. Love that heart coming from the elephant's trunk. Don't you just love how she used the bucket handle to have the little elephant standing on.. LOVE the orange and that patterned paper is perfect for this card.

Finally we have a card from Laurel who used the Priceless Joy set. I love that she kept this card whimsical with that cute little swoop of greet at the bottom. The bee is mounted on foam squares for some dimension. The wrapped twine is a nice finishing touch to this CAS card.

seriously cute...

2012-01-10T01:01:00.003-07:00

I can't tell you how exciting this has been for me.. to see my designs in acrylic.. and i am loving what the DT is popping out.. I know you will too....

Annette created this cute card using our new Snow Much Fun stamp set. I just LOVE how she paper pieced our little bird in all different colors of patterned paper. Don't you love how she used the snow swirl to really ground them to the card.. I just love kraft, so anything on kraft is something I am going to aww over..

Barb is joining us for the first time today! She made use of bright colors, funky shapes and a punny sentiment to make the adorable bee image from Priceless Joy the true focal point of the card. Look at all the texture and different layers. Highlighting the versatility of our stamps, the stacked sentiment was built using stamps from Priceless Joy and Jibber Jabber. Doesn't it tie everything together perfectly? I just love the way she put the googly eye on the bee to give it that added "fun" feel... and who doesn't love little wings with some glossy accents..

Any Shaped card has a soft place in my heart.. and this one is one of those.. Marcy created this adorable card using the fun toaster image from Kitchen Gadgets. She colored the image with copics and added a thick layer of Glossy Accents to make the black parts dimensional and shiny. Don't ya just love the way the sentiment is "poppin' out" of the toaster? I love how she pulled the black into her bow.

I hope to see you tomorrow.. when we show you more inspiration using the Jan release..

Winners announced .. and some inspiration..

2012-01-09T01:01:00.003-07:00

We are having so much fun with the new release. I am so excited to share with you the projects for today.. We have the random winners to announce today too :)

First we have Laurel who used the new Kitchen Gadgets for her card. The rolling pin has been paper pieced with some woodgrain paper (don't you LOVE that) and mounted on some foam squares for some dimension. I just love the fun colors she has added to bring it all together. The twine at the top is a perfect touch.

Second we have Annette with more from the new Kitchen Gadgets stamp set. Look how fun she added the mix of hearts in the blender and framed it with some twine. I love how she distressed the edges of the paper to bring out the fun side of her card. I just love how many fun ways you can use this collection.

Third is Lisa combining Snow Much Fun and Priceless Joy to make a whimsical winter scene. Just look how the heat embossing gives perfect texture to her cute stack of snowballs. Her choice of designer paper accented by her sponged edges just makes our little bird pop. The rustic twine with tag just completes this cute creation. What's cuter than a little bird selling snowballs! The only thing I can think of is this card!

My name's Barb Murphy. I'm a single, thirty something gal from New Brunswick, Canada. I love my job in the telecommunications industry where I design cable routes and pole lines. Steel toe boots and a fluorescent yellow hard hat are standard issue! I feel like I've been searching my whole life for a great hobby, but I never felt like a creative person. I wandered hobbyless for many years until a friend introduced me to scrapbooking in 2009. I really didn't enjoy it, but felt guilty after spending so much money on supplies! lol So, I started making cards and quickly fell in love with creative release it provided. I found photography around the same time and if I'm not making cards, chances are that I'm running the roads looking for some great shots. I created my blog, Kinsale Creations in May 2010 to share both with the world. I began participating in online challenges, blog hops and eventually tried submitting to publications. The feedback and support I`ve received from other designers along the way has been an added blessing. I am thrilled to be part of The Alley Way Stamps Design Team!

Grand Opening!! Release DAY!!!

2012-01-01T23:10:00.000-07:00

YAY!! Today is the day! The Grand Opening of The Alley Way Stamps!

I first want to show you what I made using the "Snow Much Fun" Set.. You can get it now in the store.

For this card I paper pieced him, used a little puffy paint to add a "snow" feel, and that was it! It was so fun, fast, and easy. My favorite kind of card. If you would like more details on this card feel free to visit my personal blog.

Now for the reason why you are here.. to see the new sets..

This first stamp set I am so excited to share with you. It's official name "Kitchen Gadgets." Yep, very fitting. I can just imagine these cuties paper pieced, with a fun retro feel, or put a smiley face on them to give it a more whimsical notion. How about using them in all black and white for a fun graphic design. (one of my favorite things to do is pop one out with color) I love Punny sentiments.. so I couldn't not have them on this set!

Ahh.. Snowmen.. Who doesn't love them? I love everything about the cold snow people. This adorable set is called "Snow Much Fun." And I think it is going to be just that, FUN! You design and create your snowman to look just how you want him. Of course you can't have a snowman without a bucket of snowballs... and what if he were selling them for 5 cents each? He also has to have a birdie friend to keep him company!

I just love this set! This set is called "Priceless Joy" To me it screams fun, cute, whimsy inspiration. I can just imagine these cute little images on a fun scene, or how about on a baby onesie;) I can't wait to see these paper pieced or colored up..

Our last set for this month is called "Jibber Jabber," and it is just that.. a bunch of sentiments, or jibber jabber :) I have added a few extra little accents here and there and these are all mix and match words.. What about making the sentiment "thinking of you" but instead of doing them all in one color, take the "you" and make it a different one so it really stands out :) How fun!

Now that you have seen the new lines how would you like a chance to win one of these sets? I will draw 2 winners to receive a random stamp set from this release. All you have to do is leave a comment telling us what is your favorite stamp design from this release. :) Good luck

Come back tomorrow for a cute creation using one of these new stamp sets, and another chance to win some stamps!

Oh and if you haven't done it already.. you have a chance to win a TAWS set here too

What better way to do that then doing something I really love. :) I am soooo EXCITED to but a little nervous too. So THANK YOU!!!
