Happy Sunday!  (or maybe not...tomorrow is Monday)

I arrived home today from a wonderful scrapbooking and cardmaking weekend retreat with friends.  We spent our weekend at Memories Manor, a beautiful Scrapbookers' Bed and Breakfast.  We ate, scrapped, ate, chatted, ate, ate, ate....  Memories Manor is a phenomenal destination, just a hop, skip and a jump over the border in St. Clair, MI.

Now, on to some business.  The NEW HUMBLE PIE STAMPS BLOG was revealed only yesterday.  Have you checked it out?  Take a peek and feast your eyes on our new line of SWEETIE PIE stamps, as well as the beautiful cards the HUMBLE PIE BAKERS have whipped-up. You'll also see the deets of our very FIRST HUMBLE PIE CHALLENGE (AND PICS OF THE CANDY AWARDED TO THE WINNER OF THE CHALLENGE).  Here's a little nibble....

                                               

      
ONE MORE THING!!!!!  A HUMBLE PIE DESIGN TEAM CALL!

We are a Canadian stamp company looking for SENIOR DESIGN TEAM MEMBERS who have a passion for paper crafts, and stamps (both digital and rubber)! Your coloring of stamped images should be your strength - whether it's with Copics, or watercolor, or any other medium. Previous Design Team experience is not necessary, but would be an asset. We welcome international applicants. You should have an active blog (post at least 3 times per week).

We will be taking submissions from now until October 10, 2009. So if you are ready to become a part of a brand new stamping and challenge blog adventure, and can follow the guidelines below, we want to hear from you.

2. Participate in Blog Hops, to promote release of new stamps, approximately every 2-3 months.
3. On a weekly basis, help promote/advertise Humble Pie Stamps and The Town Scrapper (on your personal blog and to any message boards where appropriate).
4. Provide quality scans/photographs of all projects as well as posting any related tips/tricks
