Happy Friday SCT friends! First let me say it was great to hear what you've been up to lately in your comments on yesterday's blog post. It's one of the reasons I love this blog and that feeling of connection with you! As the Publisher, I don't have the opportunity to meet all our readers so I appreciate that you check in here and share! And because you checked in today, I have a fabulous new company to share with you!
Mendi Yoshikawa is a long time reader of SCT and someone we have published a few times as well. She does beautiful, creative work and you may remember seeing it in our Reader's Gallery. You can only imagine my delight when she sent me an email recently to share that she has started her own company, Sunny Studio! As a woman in business I love to see and support other women in business and am thrilled to see Mendi embark on this new adventure. When Mendi mentioned she would like to give away a few stamps sets, I told her who better to do that for than YOU, our awesome readers! Here's a peek at the giveaway:
and here is a few words from Mendi herself...
"As a loyal fan of Scrapbook & Cards Today, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share my new company with you. My name is Mendi Yoshikawa and I'm the proud owner and designer behind Sunny Studio Stamps. We specialize in creating playful photo polymer stamps and coordinating dies made only from the best materials right here in the USA.
Today we are giving away two of our most popular stamp sets, Bundled Up and Snow Kissed, to one lucky winner. Just leave a comment telling me what themes you'd love to see in a future stamp set for your chance to win.
As a special thank you we are also offering all Scrapbook & Cards Today readers a special discount code for 20% off your orders at our online store using the code "SCTMagazine" (sale ends 11/23/15 at Midnight PST). If by chance you win a set that you've already purchased, we will be happy to make a trade!" ~ Mendi
Thank you Mendi and from all of us here at SCT, we wish you the best of luck!
SCT friends I would love it if, after leaving your comment below, you could stop by the Sunny Studio facebook page and congratulate Mendi on her the launch of Sunny Studio. Be sure to also "like" Sunny Studio so you can stay up to date on all the new sets Mendi will be releasing. I remember those early days well and a warm "hello" from you would certainly make her day...or anyone's day for that matter! It's all about sharing kindness right?
Oh and on the subject of sharing, don't forget our "12 days of holiday giving" is coming up starting December 7th! And yesterday, the grand prize was determined. Let's just say, it's INCREDIBLE! You'll need to clear a little space in your scrap space for this prize ;)
I'm thrilled you joined us today. Remember that our limited edition kits, including our brand new Life in Pockets kit, will be on sale at 9:00 pm tonight HERE. A little "to me, from me, love me" gift perhaps?
Have a wonderful weekend friends!
~ Catherine
Yay for Sunny Studio Stamps + Mendi!

I love the little penguins on these sets. So cute!!! One year I hope to choose one theme and stick to it for Christmas cards, and penguins are way high on my list!
As for future themes, I am looking for a "FAMILY" line, with images and words that could be used for scrapbook pages &/or cards.

Oh, I just love these two sets. Winter is just my most favorite time of the year, much to the dismay of my family and friends. LOL!
These two sets are perfect with all snowflakes, scarves and hats. The penguins are adorable and I can envision dressing them up and setting them up in winter scenes. These sets are perfect and I hope that they will be available in stores. Love, love them. Great creations.
In future I love all animals.

So stinking cute, I just love penguins. I would love to create with them so many possibilities I would love to see owls, and moose, and cute little critters. thanks for the opportunity.

Love these penguins super cute! I would love to see school related stamps.

While these stamps are amazing and cute, I would love to see an adult-like 'happy hour' stamp set. I made a b'day card for a 50 yrs old guy and on the inside I had hoped to find a stamp to mock up a bottle of bacardi rum or vodka, and a bar glass w ice cubes, but alas... I ended up w crazy birds cos cutesie just didn't seem to cut it for a man's 50th b'day.
The happy hour set could include a bottle, some labels to layer onto it, a martini glass, bar glass, beer bottle, wine glass, ect. with some accessories like ice cubes, lemon wedge, drinking straw/stir thingy, and coaster. A companion set could be a large pub table & stools to put said glasses on. There are a tiny handful of these out there but none are a collection. Just my thought tho. :)

These are adorable! I love things that are "paper doll" like. My daughter would have a blast dressing this little guy. I would also love to see a hedgehog theme!
