Paper Punch Addiction

Ok, I hope you all like this new design over the valentine one. I know that the white text on pink was hard for some people to read.  It's not perfect but I think it turned out pretty good.

On another note, I haven't had a lot of entries in for my blog promo contest.  I thought more people would be interested in winning my next class along with a kit to make the projects.  All you have to do is add me to your links list on your blog (assuming you have a blog). I know some of you may have done that already before I announced the contest.  If so, you are still eligible.  All you need to do is email me a link to your blog site so I can check it out (needmorestamps@yahoo.com).  thanks!

It seems that some people have a hard time reading white text.  I'm going to revamp the look so that the base text is black.  I have another cute template I can use but it's not valentines themed.  Oh well.  Thanks to everyone that sent me feedback.

I haven't gotten a whole lot of feedback on my new blog layout.  I want to have a site that is easy to read and navigate for visitors.  Please provide your honest feedback.  I am working on a custom design that will reflect my own designs but for now, this is what I have.  But, if too many people have a hard time reading the text or navigating the site, I can always change it.  I have other templates available and can easily switch it out in an hour or so.  Thanks!

Hello everyone, with the new year, I want to start promoting my site and getting it out there for more people.  All of my followers and customers have done a great job with promoting my site so far. 

What I would like to do is get my site linked from as many blogs and websites as possible.  Those of you that help me do this will have a chance to win a prize.  Here are the rules:

1) Add my website to your blog in the Favorite Links/Websites section of your blog.  Please use my website homepage for the link.  http://www.paperpunchaddiction.blogspot.com/

2) Email me a link to your homepage so that I may verify the link (and take a peek at your blog to).  My email is needmorestamps at yahoo dot com (I spelled it out to avoid email harvester programs).

When my new Valentines class is finished, I will draw a name from the pool of entries.  The winner will receive a kit which includes all of the supplies (including the prepunched pieces) to make the projects featured in the class along with the printed class instructions.  If I receive more than 100 entries, I will draw 2 winners.  Please feel free to pass this on to all of your blogging friends that may not know about my site yet. 

Thank you everyone!

Hi All, I'm going to be reworking the appearance of the site today.  If you visit and it looks wonky, don't worry, I'll have it looking good in no time.  Thanks

I saw this video today and I had to share!  How do people think this up?  You have to check out this video.  Jan did a great job showing how to make this card.  Now I need to find some time to actually make one myself!

Jan Tink's Magical Marquee Card

Thank you to everyone that has made my little blog such a success.  I started it at the end of September and I have been overwhelmed on it's success in such a short time.  Thank you to everyone that visits the site, shares your nice comments and purchases my classes, I appreciate it very much.

I look forward to sharing many more ideas and classes in the new year.  I wish you all a safe and happy holiday with your friends and family!

Thank you all for supporting my fund raising drive for the St Croix Animal Shelter.  I ended up raising a total of $248 from the sale of my Pet Class over the last week.  The animals thank you to!

Thank you to everyone that supported my first annual Paper Punching for a Purpose by purchasing my pet class.  100% of the net sales on my Pet Class through yesterday will be donated to the St Croix Animal Shelter.  I'm going to go through my orders and tally the total dollars collected this weekend.  I'll tell you all how much I made for the animal shelter.  Again, thanks for supporting this worthy cause.

Hello all, I'm going to try and get my nativity figures done tonight.  I have Mary & Baby Jesus done.  I just need to get Joseph done.  Hopefully I'll get them posted tonight.  I probably won't put them on a card since they are fairly large piecings.  I'm sure you all will be able to come up with good uses for them.

My pet class is officially completed.  From now until December 18th, 100% of the net proceeds (after paypal fees) from the sale of this class will be donated to the St Croix Animal Shelter.  I love animals and I have always donated to the annual holiday drive.  This year, I wanted to be able to donate even more.  Please purchase my class for a worthy cause!

The 2 kitty cats in the class were inspired by my own kitties, Sissy, an orange striped tabby and Smokey, a charcoal gray shorthair.  The other 3 piecings feature lovable pooches - a shaggy dog, silly puppy and a sweet poodle.  I hope you all enjoy my newest class.  Thank you
