A Note From Emily...


A NOTE FROM EMILY AT EAD DESIGNS:

Sydney is 9 years old. On March 2nd, she was diagnosed with a type of a germ cell tumor in the brain by the pituitary glad. The specific germ cell tumor is called Germinoma. Sydney also developed diabetes due to the tumor. Sydney has a lot to deal with because she has autism and doesn't understand all that is going on and that is making her journey difficult because she was having trouble taking medication and visiting the doctors.

Heather & Lindsay have Designed a set to help out with Sydney.

50% off the Sales will go to Sydney.





So head on over to the store and get these cute Stickerz for Only $2.50 each

These Sets are a Sneak Peek of our New Stickerz Line Launching in April




We have been having so much fun getting this new line ready to launch.

Lindsay has made a really cute sample to show the difference
of the white and clear Stickerz






All Stickerz can be ordered ON either clear or white BACKGROUND

10 specialty papers including: 2 glitter, 1 flocking,1 spot varnish, 2 foil, and 4 die cut sheets
and it is so pretty and springy...
Something else I noticed
It matches perfectly with a lot of Unity Stamps..
Almost like they were made for each other

You are going to love it!

ARE YOU READY

to

MEET the DESIGN TEAM!!

Hello!

I'm Amber Hight!

I started out scrapbooking, but when I found the exciting world of stamping, it took over! I will never lose the title "Scrapbooker", so I'm now known as the "Stamping Scrapbooker"! My husband and I currently live in Okinawa Japan. We are both active duty in the Air Force. We have two furr-babies, Luke and Jesse, my little *Hahahahaha!* labs. You can visit me here http://stampingscrapbooker.blogspot.com




My name is Ashley Nguyen Newell.
I am a stay at home mom to two amazing little boys, Brady who is 2.5 and Parker who is 9 months. I found stamping about 3 years ago and it's been a passion of mine ever since. I love having a creative outlet and sharing my work with everyone. I am so excited to help Amy start this new venture in her life and I am SO flattered to have been asked to be a part of this amazing team!

Hi! I'm Christi!

I am a stay-at-home mom to my adorable 2 year old daughter, Kat, and energetic 15 year old son, Jacob. My DH of 17years is Ben and he drags us around the world every couple of years with his active duty job in the Air Force which currently has us stationed in Illinois.

I have been crafting in one manner or other all of my life, but that became a papercrafting passion 14 years ago when I discovered stamping and scrapbooking. I love all things associated with these crafts and am willing to try any technique at least once. I love the challenge of trying new things and stretching my creativity while creating something new and beautiful. I love to share this hobby with others and have been very lucky to work with a publishing company out of the UK that produces several papercrafting magazine titles for the last 7 years.

Most days you will find me sitting in front of piles of paper and stamps, but my other loves are reading and coffee so I can often be found wandering the aisles of my local Barnes & Noble.

My blog can be found at http://alteredambitions.blogspot.com/and I host an inspiration/creative prompt blog at http://creativeprompts.blogspot.com/



My name is Sherry Campbell and I am a Mom to a teenage son and to a beautiful dog and a crazy cat. I am also a dispatcher and manager for a regional trucking company which keeps me on my toes every day. When I’m not working I am hanging out with my boyfriend, family and my friends. I love to watch movies, read books and most of all STAMP. Sherry Campbell http://workingandstamping.blogspot.com/


I know what you're thinking...

I don't know why they agreed to do this either, I'm just counting my lucky stars they did

BECAUSE

I am so blessed to have them as friends!!


In the coming weeks, you're going to be seeing lots of inspiration from them, more for sale here and at the store when it's done (stay tuned for the GRAND OPENING), and Lots of friendship and fun..


Don't forget to scroll down where I'm also giving away a set of

EAD DESIGNS VINYL RUB ONS OF

YOUR CHOICE!!!
