We're thrilled to welcome back Altenew as a sponsor this month!


Established in April 2014, Altenew strives to bring elegant, natural and versatile designs in paper crafting products. Altenew firmly believes in sharing happiness and comfort with our loved ones through creative expression of crafting. We know that personal, delicate touches of a hand-made card or scrapbook page can bring joy to people who are important in our lives and we are proud to create products that help inspire alluring projects/creations. 

Our clear high quality photopolymer stamps and inks are manufactured in the US and we are humbled to be serving customers in over 50 countries. Altenew's name is inspired by founders' desire to interpret classical inspirations in contemporary form. Alt in German means Old, and thus Alt-e-New represents the juxtaposition of the classical and contemporary designs. Altenew is continuously innovating and is always striving to be at the forefront of crafting techniques and expressions.

Whether you are a card maker, a scrapbooker, or someone who likes to express creativity through crafting, Altenew hopes that you will find something in their products that helps you make a spectacular difference in someone's life.

Be sure to check out all the beautiful inspiration on the Altenew blog.

We're excited to welcome another new permanent sponsor, Cocoa Daisy.


Cocoa Daisy started almost 10 years ago as is a monthly kit club selling carefully curated scrapbooking products, delivered straight to your doorstep. The idea was all you had to add was your designs and photos, we give you the rest every month. We've stayed true to that original concept, bringing you beautiful scrapbooking kits packed with papers, embellishments, and alphabets, but as the industry has changed, so have we. We now have three different varieties of kits that coordinate together every month!

Our Memory Keeping: 12x12 kit for the traditional scrapbooker. 
Our Memory Keeping: Pocket kit for the pocket scrapbooker who loves to do Project Life.
Our Planner kits for organizing your life in a very beautiful way.

Each kit can be used independently or together, mixed or matched. We have two different design teams, our Memory Keeping Team and our Planner Team, each sharing how they incorporate the different kits into their creative lives. Join us at our site or online for plenty of inspiration.

Cocoa Daisy is donating a goodie box worth at least $35.00 of product, either in the form of a kit or scrapbooking products. This prize is eligible for residents of the United States or Canada.

We're excited to welcome back Lindy's Gang, this time as a permanent sponsor!


Lindy's Stamp Gang was created in 1996 by Lindy as a place to showcase her funny "animals with attitude" on rubber stamps. By the late 90's she was creating colorful products to complement her rubber stamps and VOILA!, her shimmer sprays were born! The rest is history, as they say, but unfortunately, we lost Lindy to illness in 2008. Lindy's Stamp Gang has continued with her daughter, Tracey, at the wheel, keeping Lindy's memory & creativity alive in her products. PLEASE ENJOY OUR UNIQUE, ORIGINAL PRODUCTS BECAUSE THEY ALL CONTAIN A LITTLE OF LINDY'S INFECTIOUS LAUGHTER, SPUNK, SPARKLE & CREATIVITY!

Visit the Lindy's Gang blog for beautiful inspiration and to learn new techniques.
