My passion for digistamping ....


A week or so ago my friend Mel asked me if I'd like to design some digistamps for her new website and online shop, www.digistamps4joy.com

I've always loved doodling (now I know those doodles have a posh name, "ZENTANGLES") and so I agreed to try a few. I armed myself with an eraser, put pencil to paper, adn started to draw ... Oh my gosh, the images started to pour out of my pencil and as I was drawing one, the next one was starting to form in in my head, and I had to make notes on the side, draw rough outlines, before they got lost amongst all the other ideas. Soon it took me only a a short while and I was drawing them at a rate of four an hour, and now Mel has built up a pretty pile of images she needs to convert for the online shop.

Please go and visit www.digistamps4joy.com, there's a freebie digistamp there for you to try, and if you enjoy working with images that you can manipulate, size and combine with your papercrafts, maybe you'd like to purchase a few more, they're much cheaper to buy than regular rubber stamps!

Then maybe you'd also like to join an online community dedicated entirely to digital stamping, and become totally "hooked" like I am ... Drop me an email if you'd like a personal invitation to the group.

Here's a card I made with a ballerina digistamp that I designed for www.digistamps4joy.com. I hope you like what you see, and leave a comment, I would love to hear from you ...
