Long live the Swedish!

Here it is....my homage to our friends across the pond. Our very first international collection of sentiments! Its our way of saying thank you for your support and please join in on the fun with a collection of words and sentiments that you are sure to find useful. This sheet is already at the plate maker and should begin shipping on or before this coming tuesday.

A special thank you goes to the ever talanted and popular Nina for her help with not only the translations of some of our favorite sentiments into Swedish but also for her volunteering her time and creativity to offer other sentiments as well. THANK YOU!!

This sheet has over 75 words and phrases. It is 8 1/2 x 11 size uncut deeply etched red rubber. Several of the sentiments will coordinate with the DoodleFactory collections we have released.

But here is the coolest part.....

.... DRUM ROLL....

We are going to give away the first sheet of Swedish sentiments FREE in our first ever INTERNATIONAL BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY!!! (((((APLAUSE)))))

OK so what do you have to do? Its simple... you have to do 2 things.

FIRST, you need to promise you will SPREAD THE WORD and tell every swedish stamper you know that we are running a blog candy giveaway and second,

POST A COMMENT TO THIS THREAD and tell us what sentiment is your favorite!

On Monday we will draw a random winner and they will get this sheet sent to them FREE OF CHARGE!

Make sure you leave your email address so that I can contact you if you are the winner! (if you forget to leave me a way to contact you then I will be forced to pick a different winner, and neither of us want that to happen do we!?)

But dont worry, if you dont win you can still purchase your stamp sheet on our website or thru Jane's store ScrapAddicted in Loberod, Sweden. She is now selling our DoodleFactory line and will soon be carrying the new sentiment sheet!

I know what you guys here in the USA are thinking.... Im leaving you out right? NOPE, not true. I promised you a blog candy and you are going to get one. We have TWO NEW TROPIC SETS of sentiments heading to the plate maker tomorrow! Tomorrow night I will load the new sets to the blog for you to check out. And on TUESDAY I will post the blog candy and its going to be GOOOOOOOD!!! So stay tuned!

I cant contain myself!

I had this new Tropics set from DoodleFactory in my possession for the last 19 hours and I just cant stand it anymore. I HAD to post them, RIGHT NOW...or i'd BURST! When I saw Moki for the first time I nearly fell off my chair. I hear him sing in his raspy voice "are you achin' ... for some bacon.. yup, yup, yup." ok so hes not a wort hog, but for some reason that pudgy fellow singing that song from the lion king came into my head. Irene tells me that all of the characters will, with some creative cutting or masking, fit on the jet ski. Including the pirate parrot... "The pirate is a tighter fit, but he's a fatty anyway and a pirate in a jet ski is just funny" She tells me.
So I share with you the newest collection from DoodleFactory... TROPICS!


Now that you got back on your chair I can tell you some more cool things.. First, this set is already at the plate maker and is going to start shipping in about 7 business days. And if thats not cool enough we will be releasing some sentiments to go along with this set shortly. And as if that not cool enough we also have ANOTHER new set on the table too! Now would be a good time to post a comment and tell Irene how much her stamps mean to you and how she needs to doodle you more images ASAP since you love them so much (She loves hearing how much you like her stamps. Really, she eats it up!) so encourage her you guys!

New Sentiments!

The long awaited new sentiments have just been loaded on the website. There are 8 pages of stamp sets (over 20 new sets!) and a few more still in the works. You will find a little something for everyone and and every occasion under the sun! And if thats not exciting enough we also have a new DoodleFactory Set (think Tropics!) being released VERY SOON!! Check back (or sign up for updates) we will be releasing this new set with a blog candy giveaway you won't want to miss!

What does one do with their blog candy?

I have to say I often wonder what happens to the stamps we provide to our designers to give away on their blogs as blog candy. We just ran our first official blog candy giveaway for this company blog and Susan (the winner) was kind enough to share her creation. I love when our customers and friends share their artwork. If you made something with our images please email us and show it off! Did you know we also give publication rewards when you use our images in your stamp art submissions? If your curious about the publications rewards, I will be posting more details at a later date so stay tuned :O)

Email troubles!

We have been having problems with our email the past couple of days.
If you sent us an email and it went unanswered please forward it to this email address:
chinstamps@aol.com and/or strvingartistmp@yahoo.com
or give us a call at 631-884-2024

Thank you for your patience while AOL sorts through its problems.
