BIG, HUGE News!!! and a Blog Candy, of course!!

This Blog Candy is now CLOSED! Thank you to everyone who had entered!!

I have been paper crafting for about 7 years now, it all started with scrapbooking and then I have transitioned into the Card Making. I really love making cards because for the small project there are sure so many options and every time I make a new card I get a feel of accomplishment. A few months ago I have decided that I should take my love of stamping and cardmaking a step further. And I took it!! Not even a step really, but a HUGE LEAP!!! I have decided to start my VERY OWN STAMP COMPANY!!!! Are you excited for me yet?

There is a slogan under my other blog "Everything Paper Crafts" title, it says "welcome to my happy place, to my crafting La La Land". Crafting has really been my happy place, my La-La Land for many years. This is where I go to escape from reality sometimes, and it has definitely helped me to get through some hard times in my life. And what better name for my stamp company would be then "La-La Land Crafts"? Here you go!! There is a new stamp company in town!! How about that??!! I would like to introduce to you for the very first time, "La-La Land Crafts"!!!

Who makes the artwork for my stamps? I have searched high and low to find the artists with just the right artwork that appealed to me, and which also could be turned into the line art for the stamps. Not an easy task let me tell you, but I have found three!!! The first release will have six images from two of the artists, twelve stamps all together!! The second release (already in works) will have the images from all three artists..

My stamps are made of a very high quality deep etched red rubber.. they are already mounted on the cling cushion!!! they are trimmed and ready to be placed on acrylic blocks!! Because of the high quality of the stamps, you will get great stamped images every single time!!

My stamps will be available both retail and wholesale. They will be available internationally too. You will be able to purchase my stamps through my website, http://lalalandcrafts.com/ and also in some of the craft stores. The website is still in works and will be up and running on the official release date. Cranberry Hill Mercantile will be one of the first stores carrying my stamps. If you are a store and would like to carry my line of stamps, please contact me to set up a wholesale account.

The release date will be sometimes at the end of August, the date is being determined. We will start the celebration by having a Grand Opening at Cranberry Hill Mercantile. The website will go live the same day at 11 pm PST.

I can't tell you about my new stamp company and not show you anything now, can I? I would never do that to you!! I can't show you the full images until the official release day, but here is a little sneak peek!!


This is Lala from La-La Land!! Isn't she adorable? Can't wait for you to see the full image of Lala. The artwork is by a super talented artist Kathy R. Jeffords. You can see more of Kathy's artwork here.
