Thank you for celebrating and being EXCITED with me!! I have peeked at your cards and LOVE THEM!! Will be leaving comments on them tomorrow.
If you had fun today come back on 5/24/13 for a special challenge I will be hosting.
Then on June 21st we will start back with our challenges that will last for 2 weeks. There are some MORE NEW and EXCITING things happening with the challenges!!
I wanted to announce the winner since I was still up (not sure why!) and tomorrow will be a busy day around her with the May NEW RELEASES at 10 am (central time).
I guess it could also be EXCITING! This is Kathy D. and I know I'm EXCITEDto announce all the NEW stuff we have going on this month! Lori is busy behind the scenes, trying to put the finishing touches on the store, so she asked me to let you know about all the EXCITING changes coming!
Yes, we are moving to a new store tomorrow, 05/15/2013, which brings a ton of EXCITEMENT....BUT we also have other NEW stuff to reveal to you!
As you will see when you get to the new store, our store is now named Clearly Digi Stamps! Since our primary focus has become digital stamps, we thought it was time we hang a new "sign" saying that! Don't worry, you will still get the same awesome customer service and wonderful DT samples for inspiration!!
We have also added a few new DT members - Jennifer Dunn (she is returning to the team because she missed us soooo much!!), Deanette Wooster, Dee Pritschet and Carrie Robinson. I'm sure you will enjoy seeing their creations as much as I do!
But that's not all!!! Along with all the wonderful illustrators we already have...DeeDee, Austin, Lisa, Lori and Laurie...we have a new one to introduce...
Yep, you guessed it...he is my better half! He is an amazing artist...yes, I know I'm biased...but he REALLY is!! What better way to introduce him then to show a card using one of his images, Dragons, that will be released TOMORROW in the NEW Store.
In celebrating the NEW store, Lori has decided there will Freebie Digital Stamps every Thursday and Sunday from May 16 - June 13. The Freebies will be good for 3 days and then they will go into the store as a regularly priced item. Make sure you don't miss out on the Freebies and check in each
Thursday and Sunday!
Since the old store is in the process of being taken down and the new store is getting prepared to launch TOMORROW with NEW RELEASES we decided what better way to spend our time waiting then playing in our craft rooms! So here is a ONE DAY CHALLENGE for you.
CHALLENGE: Celebration!!!
Any kind of celebration will work! Also, it doesn't have to be cards...it could be a gift you made for a celebration, decorations you make for a party, scrapbook pages showing a celebration, etc. Get creative! I can't wait to see what Celebration you pick!!
Here is a sample from Nancy Perry our Guest DT Member. She won our National Scrapbook Day Challenge so she will be playing with us through June!

Challenge #3: Pick a Holiday.....Any Holiday! You can do a traditional holiday (Christmas, Halloween, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc) or you could one that is not so traditional. I love looking up all the different fun off the wall Holidays (which some people think today is one....but we won't listen to them!) that we COULD celebrate! So I have listed a few I found for May and June that I thought would make a great card.
May is: National BBQ Month, Bike Month and Hamburger Month!
5/6 (Monday) - National Nurses Day
5/7 - National Teachers Day
5/12 - Mother's Day
5/13 - Frog Jumping Day
5/15 - National Choc Chip Day (YUM)
5/16 - Love a Tree Day
5/20 - Pick Strawberries Day
June is: National Candy Month, Dairy Month, National Adopt a Cat Month and National Fresh Fruit & Vegetables Month!
6/8 - Best Friends Day
6/18 - Go Fishing Day
6/23 - National Pink Day
I got my card done so I could give you an example! I went with the traditional holiday - Mother's Day. Only because I have several orders I still need to finish and Mother's Day is NEXT SUNDAY (in the U.S.)!!!
