Wags 'N' Whiskers Rubber Stamps & Blog Hop

THIRD POST TODAY PLEASE SCROLL DAY FOR PREVIOUS POSTS.
Have you heard the latest news there is a brand new company being set up selling rubber stamps which will be released on 9th October 2009.

Nikki Fairbairn and Lacey Stephens have joined forces from across the Atlantic Ocean to create their own Stamp Company called Wags ‘n Whiskers Rubber Stamps!!


The images are based on their wonderful children and their furry pets! Zoe and Danni are Nikki’s beautiful girls with their pets Gemma (the “fat” older cat in the logo) and Bella (Danni’s little kitten). Ansley is Lacey’s sweet daughter with her little Yorkshire Terrior (or Yorkie for short) named Princess. And Ryan is Lacey’s active son with his trusty doggie blanket named BoBo!

The images of thei children are brought to life by the super talented Crissy Armstrong!! YEAH!!!

So don't miss the sneak peeks on the 7th October and the blog hop 9th where there will be many prizes on offer.
