Hey everybody!!
Almost the end of the year, 2013 is coming quickly and for me this year brings a new challenge. If you have visited my blog in the past two days you may have noticed my shiny new badge in the right sidebar. I don't think it's a secret that my favorite brand of stamps is Wee Stamps. I have had the pleasure of knowing Sylvia Zet, the creative genious behind the brand, for some time now. She has turned out to be not only a fabulous artist but a lovely person and I'm proud to call her my friend. She has allowed me to be of some help to her with new releases. I say allowed because it has been such a pleasure working with her. Besides... part of my "job" has been giving constructive criticism and it takes a strong lady to take that.
Now for the news, I am now the co-ordinator of her design team, what that means time will show but it promisses to be a whole lot of fun. I'm not leaving Whimsy Stamps though, as you know Wee Stamps not only comes in gorgeous digi's but also in fabulous rubber so a combination of the two won't be a problem. Besides.... there are more then enough gorgeous brands at Whimsy Stamps to work with!!
With pain in my heart I have decided to give up my position at Copic Marker Europe. I will always use Copic Markers as my coloring medium because I love them and I have loved my year at the CME team but time is a precious thing and sometimes choices have to be made.
Anyway... today I have my first project to show you as a design team member for Wee Stamps. I actually did two project, one is shown on my blog, the other is shown on Sylvia's HERE. Be sure to visit Sylvia's blog after you are done here because she has a little suprise for you!
I have already shown you the doorhanger I did with these precious Playful Kittens (available in digi HERE and in rubber HERE). Today I have a pillow box to show you:
Have a great "old and new" as we call it in the Netherlands people! See you back in 2013!!!
Hugs,

Hallo Mariska, gefeliciteerd met deze uitdaging, we zien je met lede ogen gaan. Jammer, maar we hebben er wel begrip voor. we hopen dat je met de Copics blijft kleuren en op die manier toch met ons verbonden blijft. Bedankt voor al je mooie kaarten (ik heb er hier thuis een paar waar ik heel zuinig op ben).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSylvia, you have got a very good Dutch girl, she is reliable and a great person to work with. Congratulations.
greetings DIny
Hi Mariska, I've just seen on CME you leave us!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm writing here instead of the community 'cause I'm afraid you'll not see the message... I'm very sad for your decision, I love sooo much your works and you're a so kind and helpful mate!!
I'm very sorry I hadn't so much in contact with you because latest was a hard time for me, but now I won't miss to see you around your blogs!!
Good luck with your new great task, and take care of you!!
Huge hugs
Cinzia x
