Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, Stampin’ Addicts,
Happy birthday to you!

As you may have figured out from the blog hop this past weekend, Stampin’ Addicts has just celebrated its first birthday! What is Stampin’ Addicts? It’s my favorite place on the Internet! It has a growing gallery organized by Stampin’ Up stamp set and forums filled with wonderful, creative, and often hilariously funny stampers. It is focuses primarily on Stampin’ Up stamps and products. There are weekly challenges, a section for demonstrators, video tutorials, and much more.If you haven’t checked it out already, I highly recommend it!

As part of the birthday celebrations, there was a “Stamp Jam,” with all sorts of timed challenges and such, a virtual stamping party. (The stamping was real, the party itself virtual.)Below are two birthday cards — well, they are mostly the same, as you will see — that I made during the Stamp Jam. I’ll also be making these with my Faculty After School Card class next week. If you want a birthday card workshop in March, be sure to let me know! (Both Happy Moments and Whimsical Words can be earned for FREE through the end of March!)
