Pinspired Challenge #18

Welcome to Pinspired Challenge #18.  For this challenge we will be working with this fun and colorful Animal ABC's print:

Our sponsor for this challenge is a new stamp company called Pink Hippo!

Pink Hippo Stamps

Pink Hippo was a name I picked out years ago when I first thought I might want to dabble in the clear stamp business. I have the most supportive husband in the world and anything I have ever wanted to do he has been behind 100%.  I have a 27 year old daughter who is my world and that is where the name came in. Her last name is Hipp and when she was growing up we always collected hippo things, preferably pink! 

I am a retired business owner and didn't start crafting until about 3-4  years ago when I retired from my business so I am a late bloomer. I have always felt like a crafty/creative person and was so excited to think I may have an avenue for it. I got my first cricut die cutting machine and just started playing around and was hooked. 

I didn't actually start stamping much until the past two years. I love stamps and thought I would like to see more on the market that are more on the humorous side because I love humor. I had tossed around the idea of stamps for years but just decided to jump in and just have fun! I love halloween so much that I decided that had to be the first thing I worked on. 

This is my first release and I am happy to sponsor the giveaway.

Pinspired Challenge #17

Welcome to our 17th challenge! The pin we are working with this time has so many possibilities!

We are sponsored by the fabulous Whisker Graphics!

Whisker Graphics is the creative out-pouring of Whitney Beard. Founded in June of 2008, Whisker Graphics was a long time in the making. Whitney's love of design and paper goods started when, as a child, she would save her allowance to buy sales receipt booklets and bookkeeping journals (oh, those grids made her little heart skip a beat!) and progressed over the years to include a degree in Graphic Design and the appreciation of all things paper and crafty.

In the Fall of 2009 Whitney created Divine Twine™, bakers twine in yummy colors, and introduced it to the market. In Spring of 2011 she created Bitty Bags™, fun paper bags in a variety of designs and sizes. Since then she has created the ever-popular Sweet Stickys, introduced a new line of Solid Colored Twine and added some fabulous Colored Tags as perfect complements to all of the Whisker Graphics products.

The winner will receive three large spools of twine in blue solid, green solid and deep pink solid!
