    Could it be Dawn? Could she be making the leap to designer?
    Or perhaps it is Kim?

    I think there will be a PTI retail store. A chance to win a trip. Great new stamps and products. And one of the new designers is Claire Brennan. Am I close?

    I’m going with the PTI Store in Florida. It will have beautiful new PTI shopping bags to fill, Kits to choose from, and it will be open around April just in time for the new Easter stamp set, you’re going to release in March. Close?

    I cannot tell you how much fun it’s been hearing your clues and reading the responses. ♥ What a riot. I must admit, you’ve left me clueless most of the time.
    Today is no different but I’m gonna just take a shot in the dark and say Becky O is one of your new designers.
    Looking forward to the 1st!
    Hugs,
    Renee

    I agree I think Claire Brennan should be one of the new designers! I love all her “wee little goodies”!
    Why are there 31 days this month!? The suspense is killing me!

    Well we don’t know who the designers, but at least this is a pretty straight forward clue. Add to the other however???? Maybe there will be a stamping retreat in FL at Disney World…yes I am holding out for Disney World….and we can all be guests and the three new designers will be there for us to meet and there will be new bold design stamps and……how many days till Feb???? And I sure hope we don’t need to wait till Feb 28 to find out the answers!

    I’m with Suzanne – I think it’s a retreat at Disney World and we are the guest. Of course, a retreat is not complete without shopping and lots of goodies from designers. If it’s a trip or retreat, I NEEED the dates so I can put in for my vacation time at work!! LOL!

    I like the idea of Dawn being one of the new designers. This especially would make sense with all the other guesses from #5 with having a stamp set with Dawn’s handwriting 🙂

    …there’s only one other person on my mind which a) for sure everyone of us knows b) that I personally like for her handwriting: Ali Edwards – but that is too far-fetched, rrrrrrrright? ;o)
