Nicole's been up to something....

Gosh, I find it hard to know where to start.... 

I have been keeping a rather large secret..... 

But, I think it's about time I give up just a little tiny weenie bit of it... don't you? 

Well, many of you know that Market Street Stamps so graciously allowed me to design several stamp sets for them (in May and coming in June).... and it was all together just the most fun thing I have done in some time.... So, after great thought and several discussions with my partner in crime (my husband :) for the past several months I have been scheming and planning my entrance into the business world with my very own line of stamps. 

I don't want to give too much away too soon.... but, I am just so excited about it all I just had to share. It's been consuming my life for the last few months and I can finally say something about it!

I am in the final weeks of preparation and I hope by the beginning of July I will have my 'soft' opening for friends and family. With a 'grand opening' sometime in August.

The website is now in the caring hands of my designer... the first release is being carefully produced (here in the USA!)... packaging is in it's last stage... lots of lists are being made and being crossed off....

I am so close to making all my hard work a reality... and I am so excited to share with you a peek of what's to come.

My new stamp line is called....

Sweet Stamp Shop

and I have hand drawn all the sets .... and without giving too much away too soon... you all are going to love the designs! Wanna peek?

There might be a Gnome set.... 



And.... there might be an apple set coming. :)




Now the cat is out of the bag I will be back again soon with more peeks... I am starting with a pretty big line so I have lots of peeks to share...

Stay tuned!

Ohhh, one last thing.... I would really like to start my official design team search. So, I want to extend the offer first to my blog readers and their friends.

If you might be interested in being on my team...

Email me

I can't wait to hear from all of you and I hope that you stay tuned to see whats to come! It's pretty exciting!

Happy Crafting,
Nicole
