The Stars (and Acorns and Olives) are Out!

Hello all! Are you ready for a star-studded Bloom Brigade Parade? We sure are and today, you can bet that Power Poppy’s brand new digital stamp, Olive and Oak, will be the star of the show on more than a few of the Bloomies’ blogs! Have you seen it yet?

Marcella Hawley’s new digital stamp, which is a gorgeous symbol of peace and strength, is just one more way you can create and feel that jolt of gratification in an instant with our Instant Garden Digital Stamps! It’s as easy as download from the email that’s sent to you after purchase, print, color, create, and enjoy! Oh, and repeat often!

Moving on... As I always say, one of my favorite things to do is to tip toe through blogland, looking for inspiration for my Power Poppy Stamps, and to see what everyone is up to. I usually grab one of my favorite beverages, which could be my morning coffee, my afternoon diet coke or my occasional microbrew. It sets the scene. It says, I am going to stay here a while and just enjoy others’ creative pursuits! And, on one of my recent blog-hopping excursions, I stumbled upon Nancy of Rowhouse Greetings’ BRILLIANT creation here...

Nancy used our Asters Abuzz digital set to create these little windows to a bee’s world! I love how she extracted just bits of the image to bring these little guys to life in such a whimsical and colorful way! Fabulous, Nancy! 

Before we hand the torch to our beloved Bloomies, we’re pulling out the megaphone and pepping up the crowd to invite you to join us in this month's Power & Spark Challenge! It's a good one! Look!

HOW TO PLAY: Share your gifts from the heart and showcase ways you might creatively package up goodies, adorn them with stamped tags, or set them in handmade bags or boxes. This Power and Spark Challenge is all about your creative gift presentations so that you can show your art, and your heart! You can check out all the official details here on THIS CHALLENGE POST. The winner will get a choice of a free or digital stamp set from the Power Poppy Shop! Woo hoo! Contest runs through September 30th at 8PM EST. 

Well, I see folks are starting to line up for our “parade” so we best get straight to the action! Smile and wave as you stop by and see what these fine ladies have been up to! ;-)
