Welcome! I am so glad you are hopping along with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps today. If you didn't come here from the SNSS Blog, I invite you to stop there and start the hop from the beginning. You haven't missed much yet, but you'll find all the hop details in the post on the SNSS Blog :).Before I share what you came here to see, I wanted to take this opportunity to say....I am truly grateful and tremendously honored to have such a large group of participants in this hop and I would like to extend a HUGE public THANK YOU to each of you for joining in the fun today to celebrate with us! I am so blessed to know so many amazing stampers and even more so to call you friends. I love you all so much!!
Ok, now on with the show :)!
Just for fun, I thought I would share a card I made a long time ago with the image that started it all :).....this is that very first image I drew which became our very first stamp set....4 years ago....
This set has long since been retired....and I honestly get embarrassed when I look at it because of how far I've come artistically (praise the Lord!), but it's always nice to reminisce.....wouldn't you agree :)? And let's face it, without this little guy....we wouldn't be here today, so sharing this card with you today reminds me of the great warmth and appreciation I have for those who encouraged me and supported me when this sweet knight and 3 other sets were all I had to offer.
Now, how about something a little more recent ;).....
I honestly had a tough time coming up with something for today.....my stamping time has been so limited as of late, but I really love this sweet penguin from our new Cozy Friends set, so I decided instead of pondering and over-thinking it....I would just make whatever came to me. I did end up cheating a little ;)....I used this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop, but a good sketch is always just what I need when the mojo isn't there.
The designer papers are from Memory Box's new line called Yuletide and Echo Park's new Season's Greetings line. I really didn't go too crazy with this one....just added some fun Maraschino Baker's Twine, a black button and some Stickles to the snowflakes on the DP. I also doodled a black frame around the main DP panel. The sentiment is from our Winter Friends stamp set.
Your next stop in the hop is the super talented Holly aka Toy. I know she has something fabulous to share with you!
Don't forget as you are hopping to leave comments on as many blogs along the way as you can. At the end of the hop we will be drawing 4 random winners from 4 random blogs and those winners will receive a $40 prize pack of stamps, dies, paper and twine!!
Just in case you get lost along the way, here is the blog hop list again:

Oh but I love the knight!! Can't you do a revised version of him? He is perfect for boy cards!
Wishing you and the DT a very Happy 4th Birthday! Without your encouragement over the years, I wouln't have tried so many techniques and entered the challenges. Congratulations and may God continue to bless your business.
your penguin card is so cute :-)
Korin, I appreciate the stand you have taken with using the KJV for all scriptures. It was a blessing finding SNS to be able to use your stamps. Happy Birthday to you and your staff. Your staff is a true blessing. Your cards are beautiful. God Bless you all.

Adorable cards. I just found your blog and company from Beate's blog. I love that you make KJV stamps as they are lacking in the stamping industry.
God bless,
Peggy Allen
Very cute. Congratulations on 4 years.
Korin, Your knight is a work of art from the heart. Something God told you to find, but you couldn't. Because He had other plans, and you followed His guiding. Your new images are beautiful as well. Growing in artistry as we all continue to grow in Christianity. Congrats of 4 years, and Best wishes for many more!
Happy Birthday Sweet n Sassy! Your first image was cute! And I LOVE your images now!
Very neat to see that first image!! Happy Birthday and many more Korin! :)
Happy 4th Birthday! Such a sweet penguin card! TFS!

Love that adorable little knight..I don't think he looks dated at all! Your sweet penguin card is the cutest though...love the twine!
Well, I have to admit, this is my first time visiting. But, I always love Blog Hops, no matter what reason, just to see all the great talent out there.
It's awesome to see a Christian company offering stamps and digis.
Now to go browse around!!
Congratulations of four years!!!
So glad I found you this year! Your penguin is adorable and your coloring divine, Korin! One of my favorites from the new release.
I love the Knight! He's fabulous. I agree with an earlier comment that maybe he should come out of retirement in celebration of your birthday. : ) -- Your new card is sweet. I just want to give that penguin a hug. Thanks for sharing and Happy Birthday Sweet n Sassy!
I adore that penquin. Your card is fabulous. I also love the little knight. What a great story. And by the list of friends you have hopping with you for this birthday celebration, it looks like God has truly blessed you on so many ways with your business.
Congratulation on your anniversary Korin! Much success in the future. I adore penguins, they can always bring a smile to your face.

Cute little card with the sweet little penguin and santa hat! Love the layout and the colors!!
I wish I was talented enough to draw. But I guess that's why some do and the rest of us buy stamps!
