SAS NEWS!

Wow it's been a whole month since I have posted to our blog! We have been super busy over here traveling around the country participating in rubber stamp conventions, working on lots of new images and loading new products to the website. I thought I better take a minute and catch you all up on our newest news before more time gets away from me!

First we have had to say goodbye to two of our design team members Kathy Daume' and Donna Baker. Their wonderful cards will be missed but we wish them all the best for the future. Thank you Kathy and Donna for the work you have done for us.

With two spots open we have invited two new talents to join our team. It is with great pleasure that Dawn Mercedes and Jenn McMillan have accepted positions on the design team. For those of you that subscribe to our gallery blog (www.starvingartistampsgallery.blogspot.com)

and have seen their guest spots you know why we needed them to come on board full time. For those of you that haven't check out their work by visiting their labels in our gallery (links also provided below)

Speaking of new... We have a BRAND new DoodleFactory set coming out in the next couple of days. And you know what that means... So check back soon (or sign up for blog updates, so you don't miss out!) because we will have some NEW RELEASE BLOG CANDY very very soon!
