And Sweet Pea Stamp’s Last Winner is…

Well, I have procrastinated enough on this very last post. I say “procrastinated” because of all the things that I was doing just to keep from creating this post. Even at 8 p.m. Sunday evening, I decided that it was too late for me to accomplish anything. Now it is 1:03 p.m. on a Monday, and I decided that I needed to get it over with.

With my blathering stopped, I will now announce our final One Sweet Challenge winner! Drum roll please…oops I had to let our drummer go. LOL

The winner is

November One Sweet Challenge – Part Two

As you all know by now that Sweet Pea Stamps store is closing its doors on November 25. We hate to see it, but do not worry about the upcoming winner announcement. The winner for our last challenge will be announced on November 26 with our very last post.

For our last challenge we have a theme of “a thank you project, or a Thanksgiving themed project." Let’s see what our designers have created.

Annie has created a Thanksgiving project with the

rubber stamp “Happy Thanksgiving” by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.

Debbie’s many-layered card uses

Karen Middleton’s “Wings of Hope.”

Vannessa’s fun card was created with

Sandra Caldwell’s “Old Maid Bee.”

Carolyn’s beautiful card using Karen Middleton’s “Into the Light.”

It’s with bittersweet fondness that we say…

“Thanks for everyone’s support these past years and

Thanks for stopping by!”

November OSC Challenge – Part One

It is with a sad heart that we are announcing the closing of Sweet Pea Stamps. As of November 25, 2015, there will be no more Sweet Pea Stamps so now is the time to complete your collection. Lynette has represented some of the most diverse artists that we know and Sweet Pea Stamps will be missed. I know that I speak for all of her designers saying that we have enjoyed working with Sweet Pea Stamps and are so thankful that we had this amazing opportunity. We will still see Lynette around on Facebook, so we have not lost her. You will also be seeing some of our designers still creating with most of her images that she has had available.

We also want to thank all of you who have been supporting our One Sweet Challenge. This has been a fun run and we hate to see it end. We will have the second inspiration part, but it will end on November 25, not the usual end of the month.

Now it’s time for our October winner…and the winner is
