Welcome, Welcome to year of the Rabbit. 

We hope your house has been swept and you are ready
for a year of good luck. 

 We have a few wise and cautious rabbits in our family
 and we hope that you do too. 

For the rest of us, the year of that feisty tiger is gone!

Now we can have more of a soft and cuddly year
as we hop on down the bunny trail.

HOORAY!!!

May your red packets be plenty

and

your

ipaper too!

So today, if you are one of the lucky ones,

 eat your oysters and long noodles

and ginger lobster, steamed fish, steamed chicken

and sweet Gau, and wish us ALL...

GOOD HEALTH AND PROSPERITY

for the Rabbit year ahead.

The Party's Over...

It's time to call it a day. (Insert Doris Day singing those lyrics please ;)  We have cake to last until Amber's 30th and now we have some pretty good leads on where to buy her IRL birthday cake next year for her long anticipated Great Gatsby party.  Thanks for playing Aloha Friday with us. We always love being introduced to the new places and ideas that come from your links.

Not only were there AMAZING gifts, but there were the BEST cards !

Poor Hallmark, I'm afraid that the party is over for them too.

Thanks Wendy

Thanks Karin

On Thursday we'll be introducing a new challenge and since we are SO in birthday mode, we will be continuing with that theme.  For our regular blog readers, we have decided to give you a head start.

Winner's Circle

Last week judging for our very first, ever, brand-new INK-redible 21-st Day Challenge kicked off with a vengeance. We had such exciting entries! Incredimombo and I were so excited at every entry that showed up.
Last month's episode was all about Books.

All our entries rocked. Now that the dust has settled we're announcing our top 3 winners!

Charmaine (Charmwarm) won a gift certificate to Amber Ink.


I'm still floored by the way she made this Baby Mermaid set SING. I want all those little things!


The blissful Wendy Price created this little fishy book and won some Amber Ink. dollars!
Can you imagine a better place for all your tails tales?


Our mermaids definitely made a splash during this challenge. These little fish are companions from our Baby Mermaids 'Friendship' set.

Our grand prize winner, Lynne Phelps, brought home the crown! She went old-school with one of our original girly girls. This certainly encourages me to read!


This month our prize was a great big secret. As promised, it IS a pretty great prize, if I do say so myself. The winner of each month's challenge will work with me to create a custom set that they're just dying to have.

Lynne has been pining for a curvy girl from Amber Ink. This month, she's helping us design our very first woman in our new "More to Love" Collection.

Here is one of our first rough sketches based on our emails that have been going back and forth!

You can follow her development and see how she's turning out as Lynne and I work on her at:

This month's challenge at http://amberinkchallenges.blogspot.com/
Is Trick Or Treaty Amber Inky!

PLUS, it's being hosted by Major Celebrity Carole Burrage
(one of my favorite stampers of ALL TIME)

The winner of this month's Halloween challenge will be designing a set with me ala Lynne Phelps next month, same time, same place.
Just think, this could be you!!!
