WSC60: Whiff of Joy
October 3rd, 2008
It’s Friday! And, you know that tomorrow, the sweet husband is taking the girls to a soccer tournament! I’ll be doing laundry all day today so I don’t feel guilty for sitting at my stamp table all day long tomorrow! Lots of fun challenges and contests going on for World Card Making Day.
About 2 weeks ago, I learned about a new-to-me stamp company called Whiff of Joy! I immediately took a liking to their darling images, especially this one. My 8 year old *loves* cocoa, even in July. I knew she would like this sweet little girl.
If I could give a shout out for Katharina, the owner of Whiff of Joy! She provided excellent customer service and super fast shipping. I had my order in 5 days FROM SWEDEN, girls! These stamps travelled all the way around the world just so I could play. I know she has some more images coming, so be on the look out for them! They are deeply etched and stamp beautifully.
Hey, by the time you check out Beate and the other sketch challenge samples, your order will be here! 
See Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Laurie, Mary Jo and Sharon for serious stamping. I know you’ll be inspired. Have a wonderful weekend!

Ohhh! I LOVE this card! The image is adorable and that sentiment is so perfect! Did you get my package that I sent you yet?
Maybe you might want to send me a couple of these Whiff of Joy images as payback? 
You know you love me!

I keep hearing about WOJ stamps and they are cute!! Especially that one. I love how you paired it with that sentiment. Perfect!
At least you get to do laundry! (Actually I’m not complaining here) but ours broke last night! Oh well, the kids need new clothes for the fall! LOL And I do too!

what a precious card! I must agree with the previous poster about gazing into the coffee cup! I do that with my second cup each morning (the first one goes down much too quickly!) your sentiment is wonderful with this image. and that ribbon is just perfect with this as well. and my boys drink hot chocolate all year ’round also.
have a great time stamping today!
Happy WCMD! you inspire all of us!!!
