********************

Our Wonderful Sponsor this week is Your Next Stamp,here's a little of what Karen has to say

About us

The idea to start a stamping business began when my sister Robin and I were on maternity leave and began talking almost daily on the phone about our beautiful babies, my son and her two daughters. The conversations started to get fairly lengthy as, not only did we discuss baby stuff, but we had to talk about our ‘healthy addiction’ to stamping and all our new finds that we had to hide from our husbands (oops I guess that cat is out of the bag!) Just kidding! Our husbands happily support our love for crafting!

When my son was born I decided that I needed a change so I left my fitness career to follow my passion for business and stamping. These two passions just seemed to be the perfect match for my new adventure...Your Next Stamp.

YNS was born over a dinner party at my parents place. I was really excited about starting up my own stamping business so as we discussed ideas and shared a few laughs my father pipes up and says you should call it ‘Your Next Stamp’. The next day, I did just that.

I truly believe we have found the best illustrators and suppliers out there for our ideas. Everyone we work with has this amazing ability to take these ideas and bring them to life just as we had imagined them. Thank you to our illustrators and also to Carol who takes these incredible illustrations and transforms them into ‘Your Next Stamp’!

If you are new to the Your Next Stamp website, please take your time and browse all of our unique, fun and whimsical rubber stamps. We are proud to say that our stamps are made from top quality rubber, deeply etched and mounted onto cling ready to use with any clear block. All you need to do is ink it up and start creating!

Also be sure to visit our gallery and browse all the inspirational cards and projects designed by the YNS Design Team, fabulous guests and customers.

Your Next Stamp officially launched in August 2009, I am grateful everyday for this wonderful opportunity. Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey, I appreciate your business!

Need assistance? I believe in delivering top notch customer service so if you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me via email at karen@yournextstamp.com

Happy Stamping!

Karen

The random winner of this challenge will win a $10.00 gift certificate.
