Big News: The Alley Way Stamps

I have just recently discovered The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS).  They are fun and funky, wild and crazy, retro-rad stamp company!!

And, amazingly, they discovered me too!!  They have asked me to be on their design team!!!  


After I picked myself up off the floor, I emailed right back, "Really??  Have you looked at my blog??  Do you see what kind of cards that I make?  Have you looked at my photo and realized I am slightly(?) over middle-aged?  I don't do fun, funky, wild, crazy and retro rad cards."  They assured me that they knew my work and wanted my style represented in their stamps.  


So...I'm on the team!!!

Check out the these fun samples that I put together for this announcement!!



Something that I find very fun about TAWS stamps is that the sentiments come in individual words so you can put together your own fun sentiments.  I picked the words and then blocked them together into the square shape so it fit the card!
The TAWS blog is FULL of fun samples and creative sentiments!
Check out this Christmas sample - don't you love his expression!

The picture isn't great - but check out his nose!!  What a perfect sentiment!


I put this card together last week - I call it Big Hugs from Big Tweet!!


You'll definitely be seeing much, much more TAWS on my blog!!  I already have and am happily playing with the new stamps that are coming out for August.  Stay tuned!!!
