First of all a big thank you to everyone for your kind comments
...it makes me warm and cosy inside ;)
I am one of the luckiest (and happiest) people in the world right now!
Never in a million years did I think that winning the Craft Stamper Magazine "Stamper of the Year" title at the end of 2009 would see me have the opportunity to be a "stamp designer"!!!!!
Unbelievable but true.
I'm thrilled that The Artistic Stamper have chosen to release my first ever stamp set based on the "Dance to the Music of Time" theme that won me the title.
But who knows?....if you don't like the set...it may well turn out to be my last!!! LOL Just as a reminder...for those who have never seen the winning piece...here is the canvas I created back then.
After the less than perfect past year I've had, I can't tell you what a big kick I get out of announcing my first ever stamp set will be debuting (ooh! Get me!) at the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show at Ally Pally this weekend. ;)
...don't forget to pop along and see Jennie from The Artistic Stamper and of course Hels who will both be doing demo magic on the stand......possibly with my stamps if they have managed to cool by then!!

I'm thrilled and a little giddy with excitement that I can share my "Dance to the Music of Time" theme with all you fellow stampoholics.
Even more.....I'm really thrilled at the prospect of seeing projects made by you using the stamps!
I'm hoping that I have given you the means to make some scrummy pieces of art ;)
You will be the first in the whole wide world to get hold of them at the show if you are there.
I have not even got a set yet!!!
Yes....they are really that "hot off the press"!

Now if......like me....you can't make it....just make sure you pop over to Jennie's blog each day and leave a comment as there are lots of new stamps (not just mine! LOL) being revealed and given away by the ever generous Jennie.
You never know one of the hot off the press designs could soon be yours!

Congratulations Sioux. Your 2009 winning piece has been one of my alltime favourite inspirational pieces and the magazine is always out and open at that page. I was thrilled when I realised that I had "met" you through the 12 tags of Christmas in 2010 that I was able to see more of your work and get to know you through your blogs. I find your work so inspirational and I really look forward to seeing your new line of stamps. Jennie (A!)
