This is a very exciting day for me here in my own little corner of the world.  Something that I have been working on for over a year now, and something that has grown into a deep passion.  Today is the day I open up my own stamp line through Papertrey Ink, {Studio 64}!  It all started out of curiosity really.  The curiosity grew as my imagination grew, and finally I simply couldn’t resist it anymore.  I had to design stamps.  Thousands of ideas, hours of work, even more hours of self-editing, and then I was left with these tiny things that I was deeply proud of.  These little images that danced on the page.  These little images that could capture so many feelings!  These little images were…MINE!  It captured my sweat and tears, my heart, my joy and MY ART!  It captured ME!  So much so, I would find myself working and thinking an hour went by when it was really eight… or nine… or ten!  These stamps that reflected whimsy, elegance,  and a defined sense of playful modernity…  THIS IS {Studio64}!!!!!!

The Name:  {Studio 64} is named from the fact that between my design studio and my vocal studio, THIS is where I spend most of my existance.  My passion.  My life.  The 64 is from the 64th note or “hemidemisemiquaver.”  A merge befitting of a blog  and a stamp line. 

The Decision:  As Nichole mentioned yesterday, I have chosen not to renew my contract this year in my senior design team duties with Papertrey.  Though you will still see my projects on the Click Simple team, my goal is to focus my energy on my new stamp line, and take it to staggering heights!  This has become a serious passion, and I intend to have it capture YOU as much as it has captured ME!  SO much so, that I am featuring an INCREDIBLE freebie for you today! 

Now this free downloadable PDF digital stamp is for YOU from ME!  If you make a card from this stamp, or any of the Papertrey Ink stamp designers, you will be entered to win $159.00 worth of stamps chosen by Nichole.  Please see below for the full details, but first, my stamp, and THEN, my projects with it!

The way the house gently holds the balloon with it’s chimney!  Aw!

This sentiment from “Birthday Basics” is a perfect sentiment for Papertrey’s birthday, don’t you think?

Those “puppet like” clouds and sun hanging from a string!  Looks positively theatrical!

Oh, my girls wanted a GREEN house!  With that quilted hill it has  become more of a greenhouse!

“Sugared up” images really show off  the whimsy!

and a sentiment from “Everyday Button Bits” was curved on the block to give it a fun shape to match the curved look of the hill!

 Add some dashes with my copic multi-liner, and I have a sentiment and a hill with dashes!
