Do you fancy a little challenge? Something sweet for you to stamp with? We have a few things we plan to do over the next few weeks, watch this space I will be back later today.

Our report from Funkykits is that they did sell out of some stamps this weekend but we will do our best to get more to them as quick as we can.

On your marks get set.......

GO!

OK, maybe not right this minuet but later tonight I am told that the new range by Rachelle will be online at www.funkykits.co.uk
Now, I have mine *big cheesy grin* and I believe there is a lady in Canada also has some on the way to her, but ours are still warm and just not long out of the oven. Can I just say that these stamps are beautiful and larger than the other Sugar Nellie stamps. Have loads of fun when you get your hands on yours. Enjoy :)

A little hug for you

This is Simon with his little sister Lola or is in young love? It leaves it open to use as love or

Darling baby

It's the first baby stamp we have had here at Sugar Nellie. A baby with a blanket and teddy, how sweet is this little darling, pink or blue, which coloured pencil will you choose?

Somebunny loves you

The other non child design from Rachelle, this stamp has so many uses , not just for Easter.

To answer a often asked question, when are these available?

I am waiting for the proof plate to arrive for stamping, just to make sure these stamp a good as they look, and don't they look darling?

www.funkykits.co.uk have all our stock output for the first month and then these will be available via your local stamp store if they have an account with us. Check with funkykits when they are selling these.

There are nine new stamps from Rachelle, Lola and Simon are her characters and there is also a duck and bunny. Thank you Rachelle these are just so cute.

Oh lovely Lola

Quack Quack

Quack quack said the duck, a sneey peeky just for Quackas AKA Karen :)
More peeks tomorrow.

BEARy Special Boy

Here is Dexter, a very special bear.

Sorry you can not see him as clear as you would like but images are being stolen and printed out by a few who spoil it for other :(

BEARy special wishes on your Birthday. BEAR hugs to you. I cant Bear to be apart.

What BEAR saying would you put on a card with Dexter?

Anyone made a card?

In the run up to the two new ranges next month we will be giving away some NEW Sugar Nellie candy to those who have been good enough to share their cards on the slide show. To enter into the draw just email us your sweet cards made with Sugar Nellie stamps and we will add them to a new side show. info@sugarnellie.com

Winifred

Here she is, Winifred, our first LCR stamp, I think she is so cuddly and looks so knitted, as she should. Great job again Linda, thank you and I cant wait to see what else you design.

Linda's challenge

Some time ago I asked Linda if she could make something knitted into a stamp but keep the knitted feel to it, and she did, and she did it beyond what I was expecting, thank you Linda I love Dexter and Winifred.

But as these designs are based on the very popular LITTLE COTTON RABBITS, I would like to show them to Julie who knits these little darlings before I give you a sneeky peek as she was kind enough to allow us to do this.

But do blog hop over to Julies site and see what it is that we love about her knitted rabbits.

BLOG BLOG BLOG

do you read a lot of blogs?


It is an easy way to loose a few hour jumping from one blog, liking to another and so on. Before you know it, you cant remember where you started.





There is one very popular blog here in the UK, with a very talented Mummy. She is very creative but not with paper. I am delighted that she is allowing us to design a range of stamps based on her creations. I am hoping that Linda will come up with some fabby designs this month and that I will be able to tell you more soon. We are very excited with the plans on the table here at the sugar warehouse. But enough said, shhhhh, tell you all later.

Happy New Year

As we bring in the new year here in Scotland, we all at Sugar Nellie wish you a happy start to 2008, a great middle and a fantastic end to this year to come.

We are getting ready for a few more changes, two more staff, wholesale supplies to your local store and more designs.

We are also looking at adding a new illustrator to our team. More new ideas and more fabby cards.

I hope that where ever you are in the world that you show us your creations with the Sugar Nellie stamps, we love to see them.

I hope that in January we will have a new range to show you, based on something very much loved here in the UK, I just cant wait to see what designs Linda and Eva come up with.
