<br />
In my last post back in February, I mentioned I was starting a new line of stamps. I quickly became involved in setting up the new website and all the work involved in doing that, plus designing new stamps, creating a Design Team, etc. I'm happy to say it has all come together in the form of <a href="http://www.theprojectbin.com/" target="_blank">The Project Bin</a>! Here are images of the stamp sets available for purchase:<br />

<br />
Here is another sneak peek at one of the stamps in my inaugural set! My husband says this all the time, so I knew I had to make a stamp out of it! I've used this week's <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2016/02/mojo-monday-435.html" target="_blank">MOJO Monday</a> sketch as the blueprint:<br />

Yes, that's right! I'm designing and producing my own line of photopolymer (clear) stamps, which will be called "A Way with Words"! I have so many ideas and have several sets (4" x 6" stamp sets of various sized stamps) in the works. My first set, which includes the message stamp in the card below, will be available to purchase in a couple of weeks! I will be having contests on my blog for free stamps, so be sure to check back for more details when I get everything ironed out!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In this card, I used a stamp from my first set, which is called "Awesome Sauce", and I based it off of this week's <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2016/02/mojo-monday-434.html" target="_blank">MOJO Monday</a> sketch:</div>

She will be coming home in two weeks for good! It's been a great adventure for her. And for me, too, as I did visit her (see <a href="http://theprojectbin.blogspot.com/2015/09/incredible-tokyo.html" target="_blank">this</a> post) and learned a lot about Japan and its people. Through it all, I sent her many cards so she could have bits of home with her even though she was 12,000 miles away. I couldn't be happier that she's coming home, but I'm kinda sad that I won't be buying international postage stamps or making cards for her anymore! This is the last one I'm sending to her:<div>

I instantly fell in love with them, so ran out there to purchase them! I put this card together, thinking I would send one of each to my daughters. But then I liked it so much I decided to make it available for sale on my "<a href="http://theprojectbin.blogspot.com/p/shop-love-cards.html" target="_blank">love</a>" cards page!

I absolutely love this week's <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2016/01/mojo-monday-429-contest.html" target="_blank">MOJO Monday</a> sketch, so I fashioned this card after it:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis73Gfvzi_SglqEgiiJnt-VGX7ksb2Z6pIvHGdiBFRA2y_e28pbHVgvc0iC5Ss-CRUE6WpCeDIg8G9RMOiiEQng4iUZEacoe4P5kUlPZT1zrCgGGcGSpPIJoKjrZBJe6qcbpbctHZUW9k/s1600/Celebrate+Your+Special+Day.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis73Gfvzi_SglqEgiiJnt-VGX7ksb2Z6pIvHGdiBFRA2y_e28pbHVgvc0iC5Ss-CRUE6WpCeDIg8G9RMOiiEQng4iUZEacoe4P5kUlPZT1zrCgGGcGSpPIJoKjrZBJe6qcbpbctHZUW9k/s320/Celebrate+Your+Special+Day.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
Here is the sketch:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIvJ3uujAGwZVEngIEeNXgXH9WUwO_jnoUY2T_b1PVyWHQ_3GLYWVqda5p5baUB84GUL03gpoB9hf6nQKnBztCXQZHNzczPkkHl3DIOc3h96IMMODqgaH4FFRdWi2LzFyVvnYUpeKsuPw/s1600/Mojo429.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIvJ3uujAGwZVEngIEeNXgXH9WUwO_jnoUY2T_b1PVyWHQ_3GLYWVqda5p5baUB84GUL03gpoB9hf6nQKnBztCXQZHNzczPkkHl3DIOc3h96IMMODqgaH4FFRdWi2LzFyVvnYUpeKsuPw/s320/Mojo429.gif" width="232" /></a></div>
It's such a great sketch, so I stuck straight to it! I'm sure I'll use this one over and over.<br />
<br />
The challenge this week at <a href="http://dragonflyjourneys.blogspot.com/2016/01/challenge-no-38-they-say-its-your.html" target="_blank">Dragonfly Journeys</a> is They Say It's Your Birthday, so I'm linking this card to that blog, too!

Well, the next day, my husband and I got to meet him at a product launch he was promoting at our local Microsoft store! Here is a scrapbook layout I made of it, which also appears on page 48 of the latest FREE issue of <a href="http://www.scrapbookgeneration.com/magazine/" target="_blank">Create</a> magazine:<br />
