Happy 3rd Birthday, SNSS!


Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Birthday Blog Hop!  Thanks for hopping along with us today!

You should have arrived here from Christi's.  If you didn't start at the beginning, you'll want to hop back to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog.  We have over 30 amazingly talented ladies participating in today's hop plus a prize at every stop so you really don't want to miss a single blog!

Three years ago today Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps "opened for business" with just four clear stamp sets being sold on a simple blog.  Since then SNSS has grown to over 100 clear stamp sets and hundreds of digital stamps!  God has been so good!

I had the pleasure of joining the SNSS design team in January '09, and loved every second of my six month term.  That team had a special camaraderie that still exists today!  In our alumni group, we share so much more of our lives than just stamping...we celebrate our victories, reveal our weaknesses, and depend on each other for prayer and godly wisdom.  I'm so grateful for the friendships made then that continue to endure and deepen!  I'm also glad that Korin was sweet 'n sassy enough to let me return as a guest designer in December of 2009, and that she invites me to play along as an alumnus every chance I get!  Love that!

Korin's images, sentiments and scripture stamps are sweet 'n sassy and everything in between.  You're certain to find something you will love.  We hope you enjoy hopping along to see all the fun things we've created for your viewing pleasure.  May you be inspired to create something truly amazing...something from your heart!

My card for today features adorable Sweet Cocoa.  I could not resist pairing this adorable digi (also available in a clear set) with a sentiment from one of my all-time favorite SNSS sets, Warm Up.  I thought Korin and Sandy would get a kick out of that!  I used scraps of retired SU and Cosmo Cricket designer paper, Copic markers, distress ink, and this week's Sweet Stop sketch for a nice hot cup 'o "Joe" that is sure to bring a holiday smile!

Your next stop on the hop is Korin's.  I'm sure she's got something fabulous to show you!  Hope you've enjoyed the hop!
