Good Morning!
Today, we are celebrating a very special lady!
Wendy Wyman, owner of Repeat Impressions Stamps,
has a birthday today,
and we all want to wish her a wonderful day...
When Wendy was just 4 years old, she announced
that she was going to be an artist when she grew up. Many years, and many
sketchbooks later, she had earned a BFA in Graphic Design.
The next 11 years found Wendy worked in
advertising, freelancing, and running a printing company.
And then it happened...Wendy's mom became a
stamping addict, and the rest was history! It was Wendy's mom's
encouragement that led her to turn her illustrations into fine art rubber
stamps.
Wendy's husband Bill, was also looking for a
career change, and jumped at the idea of learning a new skill. And
so....in 1996, Wendy and Bill established Repeat Impressions Stamps. Each stamp is designed
by Wendy, and manufactured by Bill in their home workshop!
We hope that you will join us today, as we hop
together for Wendy!
A note to Wendy from all of us:
Wendy, you are the sweetest, and most generous
person we know.
As a 'boss', rarely do we find ourselves working
for someone that is more professional,
or more organized! You are so
understanding of our personal issues, and it's a joy to work with you and your
products!
We want to wish you a very Happy Birthday!
We each look up to you, we admire you, and we respect you.
We each look up to you, we admire you, and we respect you.
May your day today be filled with love and
laughter!
And remember....the more candles you have, the
bigger the wish you are allowed!
This is the card that i made for Wendy's Birthday. I broke out the old Prismacolor pencils to color this image.
