Sponsor Spotlight on The Stamping Boutique

Our sponsor spotlight this week is on The Stamping Boutique.  They have graciously given the design team some darling images to work with and will provide this week's randomly chosen winner with 5 digi images. How fantastic is that?

Here's a bit about them.

Besides being the owner and a designer for The Stamping Boutique, she's also a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Company and has also worked for InStyle Stamps, Squigglefly, and The Digi Shack. She's a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in her community.Tracey has quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but she loves them all. Her "Boutique" has it all - fairytale, whimsy, sentimental . . . and Candy!

Here's what Tracey says about her Stamping Boutique.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality, as well as,
their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.
