Stamping Lifestyle
The stamping lifestyle. We all know it, we all live it.
But it's not just about stamping.
"What can I throw in the crock pot so I can get back to my stamp room and still look like I was cookin' all day?"
"What small appliances should I buy that can help with the laundry and those cool background techniques?"
"What are some great summer reads that keep me thinking about papercrafting?"
"How did you teach your daughter to read with rubber stamps and make all those cards at the same time?"
"Ugh! Where did my mojo go?"
Stamping Lifestyle Magazine really isn't about stamping at all!
(We already have such fabulous magazines out there that showcase GREAT papercrafters.)
Stamping Lifestyle is more about the other side of the papercrafter- the mom, the cook, the housekeeper, the wife, the friend, the spirit.
It's about nurturing all the parts of you, yet always keeping papercrafting in mind.
. . . . .
About two and half years ago, I held my very first rubber stamp that I drew. It was quite a momentous occasion.
Although Gina K. Designs online store in only 1 1/2 years old, Gina K. Designs is almost 3 years old. We used to sell our stamps though a store called "Stampingfreak.com."
I remember, when the first couple of orders came in. One of those very first customers was Lynn Mercurio. We've had a special bond ever since.
Lynn is just one of those people who makes everyone feel welcome. She has class and grace and a fabulous sense of humor too. She comes to StampTV with years of stamping experience and she's truly one of my all time favorite people!
She's also the new editor-in-chief of Stamping Lifestyle Magazine.
Welcome
Wait until you see what Lynn has done!
You'll love this magazine.
It's fun, it's funny, it's useful and it's free.
Coming mid-May.
Hugs,
Gina K.
Wow! I can't wait till the first issue.

Oh my, I love creative juices hard at work, and hard at work for ME! Keep it coming, it only makes me want to order more from you as you care for me and my loves in life!

Lynn is a wonderful choice for editor-in-chief of your new on-line magazine! She is knowledeable, talented, and is warm, friendly, and helpful to her fellow stampers. A few years ago, when I thought I just 'wasn't good enough', Lynn gave me the encouragement I needed to keep stamping. Gina - great move on your part - Lynn, good luck and God Bless!

Gina, you never ever cease to amaze me. You absolutely spoil us. This is the coolest idea ever. Until your next brilliant idea that you come up with, that is. I tell you; when I stop by stamptv, I feel like I am at home and I never want to leave. You and your design team are so fun, kind, helpful, and well, just the best. Your videos are so helpful. Well, I could go on for days. Now you offer a free magazine. And Lynn is a fabulous choice to head it up. You have a customer and fan for life. Cyber-Hugs to you.

Very cool Gina! THANK YOU for creating and adding to what I call the "daily framework" of life as a paper-crafter. StampTV and now the new e-magazine are adding building blocks, structure - not just bling and glitz that changes with the trends. Way to be an industry pioneer while maintaining your roots of warmth and personal connection.
