Note to our International Friends: We understand the cost of shipping is high. As we strive to offer the BEST customer service, we want to ensure your products get to you safe and sound. Why Priority Mail? With Priority Shipping, we are able to offer delivery confirmation and claim services from the USPS should your kit become lost in the mail. We didn't think it would be fair to offer a more economical method from the USPS (i.e. Parcel Post) knowing that we wouldn't be able to provide you with the high level of customer service you have grown to know and love from us. We continue to search for a more economical method that also includes tracking and delivery confirmation. Please keep in mind that you are able to combine orders into one box for the same flat rate. Thank you so much for your understanding!

• 5th of each month - New Kits will be shipped to subscribers
• 10th of each month - New Kits will be available to non-subscribers
• Sign up between the 10th - 25th of the month, and you'll receive the current month's kit.

more about our MARKET FRESH KITS:

When was the last time you used stamps in your scrapbook layouts? Do you find it overwhelming (and expensive) to purchase all the elements in a paper collection only to find everything starts looking the same? When you want to showcase the perfect picture, the perfect smile, and the moment that you never want to forget, wouldn't it be awesome to have it all in one convenient kit with TONS of possibilities? 

Or maybe you just make cards. Excellent! In each kit, you will find a stamp that I have illustrated that is exclusive to our Market Fresh Kits. The stamp is sized to fit a card or to use as an embellishment in your layouts! The possibilities are truly endless, and it takes the guesswork out of creating gorgeous art!

Guest Designer: Laura O'Donnell!

I'm here today to introduce our Guest Designer for January, Laura O'Donnell! She blew us away with her project for the November Block Party and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her here today! 

Here's a little bit about Laura and two BEAUTIFUL cards that she created to share with you! 

Make sure you hop over to her blog: 

It's All Rosie: Laura O'Donnell 

and leave her some love!

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

Hello Market Street Stampers!  I'm Laura O'Donnell from http://itsallrosie.blogspot.com.  I'm so excited to be a guest designer for Market Street Stamps this month!  I am a stay at home mom to a 12 year old girl and a 4 year old boy.  We live in West Chester PA, which is a Philadelphia suburb.  We keep busy with my daughter's sports, field hockey and softball, which seem to go all year round now that she has started playing on club teams.  She also plays guitar.  Our little boy, Willie, is Autistic.  We have him in an Autistic Support classroom which goes 12 months a year and we have some therapists working with him here at home.  He is one hard working little man!  As for me, I started stamping in 2003 when I first started scrapbooking.  One of my earliest supply purchases (along with adhesive and a trimmer) was a set of alphabet stamps.  I knew the stamps would be a better investment over buying sticker sheets every time I ran out of vowels!  Over the years I drifted from scrapbooking more into cardmaking and every stamping, coloring, and inking technique under the sun :)

The first card I made is a Valentine featuring the Hearts a Plenty background stamp.  I love MSS's background stamps!  They are generously sized and ink up nice and evenly.  I used Memento Rosebud ink, which I noticed is sold here in the MSS store.  Memento inks are my favorite!  I have every color.  The embellishments I used are a Jillibean Soup corrugated heart, Twinery Twine, and some felt hearts that are the Create-ology brand sold at Michaels.  The sentiment is from the Simple Joys stamp set, which is a great deal on clearance right now!

 Next I made a Mothers Day card with the sweet kitties from Cool Cats.  I colored them with Copics (E21, E23, E41, E000, R11) and used a mix of Studio Calico patterned papers for the rest of the card.

Thanks so much for letting me hang out here at Market Street Stamps and share my projects.  I look forward to spending more time with such a fun, talented, and social group of stampers!
