4 years. I can't quite believe it has been 4 years since we first started as Banana Frog. Since that time I've changed, the craft industry has changed and I've met lots and lots of lovely people both in person and online! I truly enjoy designing the stamps and am always excited when I see that someone has used Banana Frog stamps and it amazes me how creative people can be. So I thank everyone for 'getting me' and my designs :)
Okay, enough gushing from me, onto the celebrations as birthdays are for celebrating!
Normally at a birthday there are presents, and so we are having a super big giveaway this month. You need to leave us a birthday comment at the end of this post for the chance to win a £100 voucher at Banana Frog. Yes, £100 to spend on goodies! You have until the 30th May to leave a comment and I will post the winner on the 31st. So go ahead, get commenting!
Also, every order at Banana Frog between now and the 30th May will be put in a separate draw to win another £100 voucher to spend on goodies! So get ordering!
We will also have little giveaways during the birthday month from some of the design team members so check back all the time.
The other big news today is the launch of a new size of stamps for Banana Frog! Please welcome the Tadpole Sets -yes, cheesy I know :) The new size is approximately 4x3" and works perfectly with its bigger brothers and sisters. The first Tadpole set is called Shake your tail feathers and looks gorgeous on its own or beautiful alongside our other new set Hiya Chick.
I'll be back soon to share some ideas for both of these gorgeous new sets.
Until then, join me in singing the birthday song to Banana Frog...
£100?! Seriousl? I'm crossing everything crossable for this! LOL
Happy Birthday Banana Frog!!! Love your stuff. :D
