the day is finally here!!

I have a HUGE announcement to make today!  I have been hinting at this for quite a few weeks on my blog, and maybe you have already figured it out.

In addition to making cards, I love to draw and paint.  I doodle on everything...yes, even on the "notes" I take in classes and meetings! (lol)  Every once in a while I would draw something and think about how awesome it would be as a stamp- but the thought never got much further than that.  Friends and family told me that I should start designing stamps, but I never thought anyone (other than myself) would actually want them.

Well, my friend Tasnim Ahmed started to design stamps for herself, and I was so impressed with her designs that I just HAD to know more!  She said she was considering starting a stamp company, and that is when I confessed that I always wanted to design stamps - but I was too scared.

Well, I'm sure you can figure out the rest of the story:  Tasnim helped give me the courage I needed and we decided to design together!!!

The company is called Altenew, and the site went live today!  I cannot wait for everything to be available in the shop, but until then you should definitely check it out.  You can find some sneak peeks of 2 of our upcoming sets on the blog :)

Please make sure to like the Facebook page and follow us on Pinterest!

Below you will find 2 cards that I have already posted using some of our sets, as well as a brand new card!  Woohoo!!!




I hope you are as excited as I am!!!!
