This Weeks Sponsor

Queen Kat Designs is celebrating its 2nd birthday! They are a clear stamp company. All of their stamps are designed with love by stamp designers around the world. QK designs are always fun, funky and creative. Their home office is in Utah in the shadows of the Wasatch mountains. All of the stamps that QKD produces are made by hand and using only 1 chemical in the process (the actual polymer itself). They have eliminated harsh chemicals from our process to keep our employees healthy and the environment clean. QKD’s stamps are oh so sticky… They stick really well to acrylic blocks and wash up nicely. Although you know the saying, “a stained stamp is a well loved stamp”.

Queen Kat Designs is very excited to share their birthday with you this year! In honor of turning 2, they are having a big party and sale this week. Please come and join them on our BLOG and in the STORE for more fun. Happy Stamping!

Kazan's Sketch 13



Thank you so much for the fantastic birthday wishes that I received from everyone. Not only was my b/day amazing but the whole week was filled with surprises and well wishes, many from friends right here at 2s4u - it was great!

Speaking of birthdays: Ingrid Danvers, a former Fall Design Team Member, celebrates her birthday this week too. Happy Birthday from all of us Ingrid - we hope it is a good one :) Right here in the U.S. we celebrate Veterans Day this week. I hope to thank a few of our brave men and woman as I run my daily errands this week.

This week our brand new Design Team shows off their fabulous work for the first time. I am so in love with all of their work and I know, judging from this week's cards, that the next 3 months are going to be a feast for everyone's eyes. And if you, like me, can't wait until next week to see more of the DT's work, be sure to pop into their blogs (they are linked in the sidebar) for some serious eye-candy!

We continue this week with Sakura of America sponsoring our Card of the Week. I personally am in love with Sakura Souffle and Glaze pens. Sakura Pens write effortlessly on all types of surfaces with amazing professional results. These gorgeous pens come in all sorts of colors and once you write with a Sakura of America Product it can become addictive - trust me I know :) Superior quality for our superior cards.
You can learn more about Sakura products on the Sakura of America Website where one of the most useful features I have found is their Store Locator button:

Card of the Week & The Fab5!

The Gallery is chock full of awesome inspiration. Thank you to everyone that participated this week. I love being inspired by all of you as we head into November and probably one of the busiest crafty times of the year.

Laura and I have been busy all week going through the most amazing Design Team Applications imaginable. We met for lunch on Friday and perused over application after application on Laura's laptop in the most beautiful setting, the Glenmoor Country Club...it was a perfect day. Tomorrow we will announce our 2008 Winter Design Team - I bet you all are going to love their work as much as we do.

Today, however I have great pleasure in announcing the winner of the awesome prize donated by Lil' Scrappers. Thanks for being such a fabulous Sponsor over the past 4 months :)
