Cutest Pandas Ever!

I couldn' resist buying a set of Panda Bear stamps which were recently released by the Memory Box Co. I like these bear stamps because they look humorous and they make me feel happy as I look at their facial expressions... such a darling look on each one of them! While I'm creating colorful cards using these stamps, it reminds me that they are one of the animal species which are becoming extinct. I hope these Panda Bear cards will help us to support preservation efforts of animals which are becoming extinct.

Meanwhile, Studio 904 has been receiving many positive comments from our clients about how creatively our salon is decorated and there have been a growing number of people who have requested for me to teach them the art of card making and paper art objects.

Here is an announcement for my upcoming workshop, Panda's Garden. I will be using papers and samps from the Memory Box Co. I love wo work with the sophisticated, beautiful papers made by this socially responsible local paper and stamp company, owned by David Brethauer.

Their paper is produced by a mill that uses certified sustainable forest for its pulp. The paper is printed with soy-based ink. Go to http://www.memoryboxco.com/ to see David Brethauer's beautiful collection of papes and stamps!
