Many of you may remember that back in July we asked for winter sentiment ideas from all of YOU! Many of the sentiments included in our new holiday stamp sets came from those submissions! We got hundreds AND hundreds of fantastic ideas! I want to thank all of you for taking the time to share your words with us! A handful really stuck out from the crowd, and were awarded gift certificates for their contributions.
ANNE THURMAN-TATE
“Holiday Blessings to You & Yours” (used in Holiday Wishes)
“From Our House to Yours” (used in Holiday Treats)
AURA FLORA
“Friends & Family are the true gifts of Christmas” (used in Holiday Wishes & Believe)
CHARLENE AUSTIN
“Believe” (inspired the name & theme of our Believe set!)
CLAUDIA FRANSON
“Star Light, Star Bright, Make a Christmas Wish Tonight” (used in Take a Bough)
JESSICA FORD
“Cheers” (used in Holiday Wishes & Take a Bough)
SANDY DAYHOFF
“May the Magic of Christmas Fill Each Corner of your Home & Heart”
(used in Holiday Wishes)
STACI MISERLIAN
“Wishing You the Merriest Christmas & All the Best in the New Year”
(used in Holiday Wishes)
Thank you so much to all of you! I hope you enjoy seeing your ideas in actual stamp formation! Your words really inspired me!

I ordered my Holiday Treats yesterday and can't wait to get them! Also trying out the oval Borders and Corners and I think they'll be very versatile. Here's a link to my candy tin using Spooky Treats!

LOOOOVVVVVVVEEEE the new look! Very seasonal. I too was thinking about doing an electronic signature too. Love those wacom tablets. Thanks for being you Nichole! I just love your sense of fun. Looking forward to receiving my Sept order and all the October previews.

Talking about those sentiments reminds me -- I am dying to know what the font is in
Take a Bough (the fancy one used for the word Bough, and Merry & bright, star light, star bright, etc.). Thanks for naming a couple of the other fonts used in the new sets. I'm just dying to know this one, too, though!! :-)

Nichole, do you want links posted here, too, if the projects are submitted to Guest Star Stamper?
