I have neglected my children. Not my real children, my rubber kids, my beautiful fun and creative stamps from Art Gone Wild! Have you tried them yet?? I am so proud of the designs being so interactive and economical. They were specifically created for coloring, because as you know, i am coloring kind of fool!
Here’s the art that inspired the “Art Girl” stamp.
…and the Art Girl stamp
This is so exciting!!! I was invited by the very sweet Ellen Hutson to blog about my stamps that she carries in her online store. She had every single one of my new stamps for sale, and they sold out immediately! The stamps were quickly restocked and are available in her web store where you can purchase them right now!!!
Go to Ellen’s Classroom blog on Tuesday, August 2nd and learn all the coloring techniques i shared in my guest post. I will be doing more collaborating with Ellen and we are working on some really fun new exclusive products that will launch in September.
So here how the collection works:
You purchase the Artful Cardmaker card front…
..this is the FLOWERS Collection and the sentiments…

…and you can make hundreds of designs for dozens of occasions with just those two stamp collections!!
But had to share this, my darling friend’s Susie’s “Joanne stamp order”!
Wow, is she going to have a blast coloring and creating!!
Okay, now back to business….
