We've now raised $1655!!!


created by Janna Hull


It's so wonderful how the stamping community has come together to support our fundraiser. I'm happy to report that we have raised $1655 to date! That is AWESOME and way more than I expected. Thanks so much again to everyone who has purchased the digital stamps and has helped spread the word.

Important News
I am in the process of moving to a new location. The move is going to be spread out over the next 2 weeks so I may be a bit slow to respond to emails. I will still be shipping orders everyday so please don't hesitate to place an order. I will be back and forth between two locations during the daytime. At one location I do not have access to email so that is why there may be a bit of a delay. Everything should be back to normal by July 13th. Don't hesitate to email me if you have questions or want to send me your cards, I'm never too busy for my customers and would love to hear from you.

Have a great day!
Melissa

New Weiman Wranglers digi stamps for a great cause!!



Today we are releasing these new digital stamps to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in honor of Ethan Weiman. Little Ethan passed away on June 12th from Neuroblastoma cancer. Ethan was a true cowboy and loved horses, balloons and Knock Knock jokes. By purchasing these digital stamps you will help brighten the day of a sick child as the money we raise will go towards making one of their dreams come true.

Please visit http://www.pinkcatstudio.com/Stamps/WeimanWranglers/WeimanWranglers.htm to purchase these digital stamps and help the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Last week Lauren Meader, a member of my DT, contacted me to ask if I could make some digi stamps to help raise some money in order to honor Ethan and the Weiman family. I thought that was such a wonderful idea and got right to designing. Lauren told me that Ethan loved my Cowboy Billy stamp so she suggested that I design a new Cowboy stamp for Ethan and one for his little sister Ava too. Ethan loved horses and balloons so that is how we came up with the design of the kiddies riding their horses and holding a balloon.

We would be so grateful if you would help us to raise some money in Ethan’s honor. All proceeds from the sale of the stamps, after Paypal fees are deducted, will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois as requested by Alicia and Dave Weiman.

Want to win a Pink Cat Studio gift certificate or three??

Lauren and I are so grateful to our design teams who have helped spread the word about our fundraiser and have made sample cards using the new digi stamps. It’s so wonderful to work with a fabulous group of ladies for such an important cause.

All of the sample cards are posted on my webpage and can also be seen on the design teams’ blogs. I was thinking of posting them here but there are so many that the blog post would be a bit too long I think :) So here is a collage of just a few of the cards:

Welcome to our Guest Designer Cyndi Bundy!


I'd like to welcome Cyndi Bundy as our guest designer for the Sporty Billy release! Visit Cyndi's and the rest of the DT's blogs tomorrow as we start Day #1 of the sneak peeks!

A bit about Cyndi:

Hi, I’m Cyndi. I’m a mom of 4 wild and fun kids (3 teens and a 6 year old) and stay busy with them most of the time. I work part time at a local stamp store, and have been a stamping and scrapping addict for about 15 years. I started as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator about 11 years ago and had a very successful business for many years until I moved. About the same time though I found the rest of the stamping world online and the real addiction began. I’ve been blogging for about 2 years… just to have an outlet to share everything I make :) Last year I designed for All That Scraps, (which is where I first heard about Pink Cat Studio) and I’ve had fun in lots of Guest DT spots for the last year. I was tickled “pink” when Melissa asked me to be the Guest DT for Pink Cat Studio in June… I am truly in love with all of her images (as my huge PCS collection shows)! I’m looking forward to the month with this great group of gals, thanks for Melissa for inviting me!

See you all tomorrow when the sneak peeks start!!

Happy Stamping!
