This set will start shipping on September 25th to our subscribers.

YOU CAN GET YOURS TOO!

CHECK IT OUT

Our monthly sets are ALWAYS available and the price NEVER changes. They never retire. 

 

Here's some inspiration using the new November set that will get you jump started! I like to share a few ideas of what I was thinking when I illustrated the set.

The birch tree element can be stamped over and over to create a border. The laurel branch fits perfectly into the cardinals mouth. Super simple, sweet, holiday card.

The options for decorating the tree are endless. You can paper piece, color with your favorite medium and decorate it for any occasion. The candy elements are buildable. You can add the swirl and wrapper ties, or just us the swirl and circle alone as a background builder. Endless.

Scrap Happy Re-Cap

A little Scrapbook Inspiration using a variety of our stamp sets.
Avocado Arts is almost 6 months old! Wahoo for new beginnings, yes? So, for six months we've been sharing lots of inspiration and on the 10th of the month we share some...

Scrapbook inspiration Projects with you.

Here's a little re-cap of 6 months worth of super fun scrapbook projects.

The chevron border stamp frames the center of the album, creating a patterned background. The open line pumpkin and the stem are perfect for paper piecing and/or coloring with your favorite color medium. I paper pieced it on some new JillyBean Soup patterned paper. Check out those apples. What do you think of that?

Here's a close-up shot of the cover. Notice how the apples and the chevron stamps are used as embellishments rather than stamped right on the cardstock! Just a quick sneaky peeky at a new product line of digital die cuts and printables we are working on. Let us know what you think about die cuts that fit your Avocado Arts stamps!

Get out your Avocado stamp sets and start Scrapping! Happy Scrappy Monday!

We're Giving Good this Month!

In honor of 

Breast Cancer 

Awareness Month 

and this AMAZING Woman, Mother, Wife, and Creative Chicklet...

 We are Giving Good

this month in honor of our Pit Crew creative

AJ

AJ was recently diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She's been aggressive in her fight. She's been through surgeries and a roller coaster of doctor's appointments (all within the last two months) and she will begin her chemo rounds in the next few weeks. 

SHE HAS KICKED IT! 

Michelle and I are more than blessed to have her on our team. She is a huge inspiration to us, a kind, giving person. AJ and I met several years ago, like most stampers do, in the forums of Splitcoast. We finally met in real life, so to speak, in the Summer of 2009 and again and again from Summer to Winter. She is my west coastie friend. We are on opposite sides of the US, but her friendship is very dear to me and a life without AJ is not an OPTION!

In honor of AJ's "fight like a GIRL" attitude and kickin' cancer in the pants, we are donating a portion of the sale of the My Wish for You set this month in her honor to the 

Susan G. Komen Foundation, affiliate in the Puget Sound

This is me and AJ. The day we met, it was like meeting an old friend. She has that way about her and I love her for it. If she needed me to come to Washington, I wouldn't hesitate. It's AMAZING the people you meet in this life. We text, we chat, we skype in our jammies, bed head and no makeup. She is AJ, she is my friend above all, so when she's hurting, so am I! Wub ya AJ!

Winter CHA 2011

The "My Wish for You" stamp set is available on our website. 
It's an amazing opportunity to give back and get inky at the same time.

We love you AJ!

Meet October Guest Designer...

Savannah O'Gwynn

My name is Savannah O'Gwynn {aka Sav}. I live in Southwest Florida with my husband, Travis, and 3 year old pup, Olsen. I started crafting at a young age, but I didn't buy my first stamps until August 2009. In June 2009, I left my teaching profession to pursue my crafting passion and it was then that my life changed. I love everything about crafting--patterned papers are my favorite, as well as different types of ribbons! I enjoy working in my studio and being creative. I also love to sing--worshiping with

my husband is a passion of mine
  
We are looking forward 
to this month with Savannah!
