Here’s my proof that why yes, I can stamp!

Or something like that *wink* *wink*

My first layout for Craft Origine!

Which brings me to a nice reason for being on a stamp-DT: A non-paper DT means I’ll get an excuse to dig into my non-DT-manuf stuff more often! Because yes, I’ll freely admit that when you have obligations for this and that manuf you’ll use your older, beloved non-DT-stuff less and less (although I think I am pretty good at balancing this atm, having a number of non-paper-DTs already :) ). Stuff on my layouts include American Crafts, papers from Prima, Crate Paper, KaiserCraft and Pink Paislee), tags from Elle’s Studio, Pink Paislee, MME and yeah, random bits and pieces from here and there.

So, I’ll freely admit I don’t have much experience with stamps, hence I’m probably easily impressed..which I’ll admit I became, using the Craft Origine-stamps. It took the ink (Archival Ink) so easily and yielded such crisp, detailed and rich impressions. I don’t think I really needed to push as much as I did (I do that when I’m afraid the stamp won’t stamp off easily sorta).

Nice, aren’t they? (Yes, yes – I didn’t notice until it was too late that I didn’t make sure the duck-stamp had ink all over before I pressed it down. In fact I saw that just as it touched the paper…and when I redid the stamp, well, I didn’t hit exactly on the lines :p)
Nevertheless. The stamps I’ve used comes from Anniversaire (the numbers), Enfance (the duck, sentiment and rocking horse) and Recettes (the bunny!).

Alright. I’m excited and honored, and looking forward to see how I’ll solve this with “I’m-no-stamper”-thing combined with being on a stamp-DT =)
Feel free to check out the Craft Origine store, the Craft Origine blog (it’s in both English and French) and the other (French! I’m the only Norwegian there o.O) girls’ blogs: Céline Le Guay (Marianne), Gaëlle Fauglas and Karine Cazenave-Taipe.

The other day I got an email asking if I’d like to join a design-team.
One that manufactured stamps.
«Um, stamps? Me? Ehh..sure you got the right person?» I asked back, pretty confused.
Because yes, it had to be asked. I don’t see myself as a stamper, so I couldn’t fathom why someone would ask me to join a stamp design-team. Well, long story short, and after ensuring she actually knew I didn’t really stamp, and after having seen samples of her stamp-designs, I agreed to join the team. I mean – 1. It really is flattering when someone actually have checked you and your work out and still ask you to join and have faith in you (thanks Virginia!), 2. The stamps I’ve seen and tried so far are unmistakenly cute, sophisticated and vintage-y and actually stamps I wouldn’t think twice about using and 3. I’ll admit I’m curious and pretty much always up for a challenge.

So. Bring it on!
Say hello to Craft Origine stamps!

I’ll share more of my layout later when it’s on the Craft Origine-blog, but for now – here’s a peek …and yes, I stamped on it after having sewn stuff and all. I’m oh so brave (or cocky) ;p

And in the meanwhile, do say hello to the design team of Craft Origine :

Now excuse me. I’m gonna prowl the stupid webstores waiting, longing, needing my new Eizo-screen to enter their virtual shelves so I can get myself a proper screen to edit photos in ASAP!
