Crafting When We Can: January 2012

Wow, some fabulous entries into our last challenge!! Stay tuned for the Winners and Top 3. It's that time again here at Crafting When We Can Challenges for our new challenge. This time we are sponsored by the lovely Trace at Spesch Designer Stamps.

"We are an Australian owned and operated business. We started Spesch Designer Stamps as we wanted something a little different and something that was our own. Tracey loves Chibi/Manga style stamps, especially digital stamps so we have gone in that direction. We have many new things happening in the coming months so please stay tuned. Lots of new images etc.
As we are just starting out I hope you can be patient with us. We are still testing the waters. "

Tracy is offering our winner the wonderful prize of

3 IMAGES OF THEIR CHOICE

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

We want you to make a creation inspired by a new years resolution. Examples can be getting fit, having more 'me' time, etc.

We are lucky enough to be sponsored by two companies this challenge!! Firstly The Stamping Boutique, some of the images are being showcased by the DT below. Here's a bit more about The Stamping Boutique.

Tracey Malnofski's resume reads like a whose who of the Stamping Industry. Besides being the owner and a designer for The Stamping Boutique, she's also a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Company and has also worked for InStyle Stamps, Squigglefly, and The Digi Shack. She's a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in her community.Tracey has quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but she loves them all. Her "Boutique" has it all - fairytale, whimsy, sentimental . . . and Candy!

Here's what Tracey says about her Stamping Boutique.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality, as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.
