Happy Spring! I can’t believe this is already our third
newsletter and Spring is already here. It’s my favorite time
of the year because the flowers are in full bloom and the
weather is perfect to keep the windows and doors open,
I love fresh air! Please come by and see all of our new
Spring and Summer card ideas and invitation samples,
we are getting a lot of inspiration this season with birds,
royal crowns, and flourish background stamps. This time of year is also a very sad one for me...
my beloved maltese Toby suddenly passed away last year
in March. I think about him everyday! He was only 6. This spring... I will personally donate all proceeds
from my animal stamps and dog beds to the SPCA...
I know it won’t bring Toby back, but knowing the charity
itself everyday is bringing happiness to families who adopt
an animal brings me joy. I have good reason to believe
Toby is in doggy heaven watching over my son Miles and
is eating biscuits and chasing squirrels all day long. Rest in
peace Toby... we miss you.  Stephanie Nishikawa-Yee
