Well, it's the 9th of the month, and with our new schedule that means it is time for the highly anticipated sneak peeks! We have so many unique, exciting products coming your way, we had to share a few little peeks of what's in store for all of you! Check out the video below to see for yourself!

 

Ack! Isn't that so fun? I am just loving this new sneak peek format and all of the gorgeousness the team is busy preparing for you! Don't forget, our traditional countdown to the release begins tomorrow! We have an all new format and post presentation to share, and we think it will leave you feeling even more inspired than ever before! So tune in tomorrow and the rest of the week! You also won't want to miss out on all of the contests, challenges and giveaways we will making available to you! It's going to be a great release week and anniversary celebration!

Now onto some more announcements for all of you!

As shared in February, Ashley Cannon Newell has stepped away from her design team responsibilities and is working with us in an all new capacity! Ashley is now our Social Media Coordinator, which is a perfect for her tech savviness and creative marketing prowess. You will be seeing more of her on all of our social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Periscope. Ashley will still be creating projects for us from time to time, especially to showcase on social media as special little bonuses! So keep an eye out for her and all of the amazing things she has coming down the pipeline!

We are pleased to announce our Product Design Team for 2017! Many of your favorites are back along with a few new faces and announcements! Heather Nichols, Betsy Veldman, Dawn McVey, Lizzie Jones, Lexi Daly and Erin Lincoln are all back with lots of goodies in store for you throughout the year!

We know many of you were disappointed in February when we announced that Kay Miller was stepping down from the Design Team to take on a new adventure with us. Kay has been fine tuning her design skills and has some truly amazing monthly die series presentations that you will absolutely flip for! It has been truly magical to see her use her talents in this way, and now you can use her dies to recreate her signature style at your very own craft table. I know you will enjoy seeing the projects she contributes each month as she showcases her new product lines! 

Rebecca Luminarias has already wowed you with her first presentation as our new Packaging Ambassador, and now she will have the opportunity to take it a step further with new product designs. I can't let the cat out of the bag yet as far as what she's been working on, but I can tell you that it involves a whole new kind of kit that you will be crazy for! Stay tuned for more information on this in coming months!

As a sidenote, we also wanted to share that we have had an overwhelming response to our call for new product designers! There are a handful of extra special applicants that we are currently in negotiations with to bring you some additional new perspectives and styles when it comes to the products you choose to purchase here! There will be a lot of surprises in store for you throughout the next year, so hold onto your hats!

 

Since this year is our 10th anniversary, we are in the process of planning something EXTRA special for this year's Stamp-a-faire event! We have a few more details to fine tune before making a public announcement. But what we can share is that this will be a special EXTENDED event, running August 25-27th! So mark your calendars and be prepared for the biggest and best Stamp-a-faire yet! There will be a plethora of challenges and tutorials for you to enjoy! Not to mention tons of PRIZES!
