Happy Friday SCT friends! First let me say it was great to hear what you've been up to lately in your comments on yesterday's blog post. It's one of the reasons I love this blog and that feeling of connection with you! As the Publisher, I don't have the opportunity to meet all our readers so I appreciate that you check in here and share! And because you checked in today, I have a fabulous new company to share with you!
Mendi Yoshikawa is a long time reader of SCT and someone we have published a few times as well. She does beautiful, creative work and you may remember seeing it in our Reader's Gallery. You can only imagine my delight when she sent me an email recently to share that she has started her own company, Sunny Studio! As a woman in business I love to see and support other women in business and am thrilled to see Mendi embark on this new adventure. When Mendi mentioned she would like to give away a few stamps sets, I told her who better to do that for than YOU, our awesome readers! Here's a peek at the giveaway:
and here is a few words from Mendi herself…

SCT friends I would love it if, after leaving your comment below, you could stop by the Sunny Studio facebook page and congratulate Mendi on her the launch of Sunny Studio. Be sure to also "like" Sunny Studio so you can stay up to date on all the new sets Mendi will be releasing. I remember those early days well and a warm "hello" from you would certainly make her day…or anyone's day for that matter! It's all about sharing kindness right?
Oh and on the subject of sharing, don't forget our "12 days of holiday giving" is coming up starting December 7th! And yesterday, the grand prize was determined. Let's just say, it's INCREDIBLE! You'll need to clear a little space in your scrap space for this prize ;)
I'm thrilled you joined us today. Remember that our limited edition kits, including our brand new Life in Pockets kit, will be on sale at 9:00 pm tonight HERE. A little "to me, from me, love me" gift perhaps?
Have a wonderful weekend friends!
~ Catherine
Yay for Sunny Studio Stamps + Mendi!
I love the little penguins on these sets. So cute!!! One year I hope to choose one theme and stick to it for Christmas cards, and penguins are way high on my list!
As for future themes, I am looking for a “FAMILY” line, with images and words that could be used for scrapbook pages &/or cards.
Nice stamp sets! Off to check out her Facebook page.
Oh, I just love these two sets. Winter is just my most favorite time of the year, much to the dismay of my family and friends. LOL!
These two sets are perfect with all snowflakes, scarves and hats. The penguins are adorable and I can envision dressing them up and setting them up in winter scenes. These sets are perfect and I hope that they will be available in stores. Love, love them. Great creations.
In future I love all animals.
penguins! I love them!
How about somethings with cute deer or foxes?
So stinking cute, I just love penguins. I would love to create with them so many possibilities I would love to see owls, and moose, and cute little critters. thanks for the opportunity.
Love these penguins super cute! I would love to see school related stamps.
While these stamps are amazing and cute, I would love to see an adult-like ‘happy hour’ stamp set. I made a b’day card for a 50 yrs old guy and on the inside I had hoped to find a stamp to mock up a bottle of bacardi rum or vodka, and a bar glass w ice cubes, but alas… I ended up w crazy birds cos cutesie just didn’t seem to cut it for a man’s 50th b’day.
The happy hour set could include a bottle, some labels to layer onto it, a martini glass, bar glass, beer bottle, wine glass, ect. with some accessories like ice cubes, lemon wedge, drinking straw/stir thingy, and coaster. A companion set could be a large pub table & stools to put said glasses on. There are a tiny handful of these out there but none are a collection. Just my thought tho. :)
These are adorable! I love things that are “paper doll” like. My daughter would have a blast dressing this little guy. I would also love to see a hedgehog theme!
These are adorable!
Sunny Studio is AWESOME! These stamp sets are so cute! Those penguins make me smile! So adorable!
So adorable! Makes me think of “Happy Feet”.
Wow, these stamps are super cute! I love the cute critters and sayings! I would love to see a “family” set. I can never get enough of those!
So cute, love the clever sentiments. Would love to see woodland creatures with spring accessories.
Since there are so many Christmas products in the blogosphere, I’d love to see some Valentine’s Day items!
Such cute stamps! I would love some Mr. and Mrs sets. Both of my children were married within the past year.
Those stamps are so cute!! Owls, cute deer would be awesome!!
Those penguins are adorable!
I would like to see crowns for birthdays or babies, for example: a little prince/princess is born.
Thank you for the chance to win!
so cute … Love the Penguins
These are so cute!! Love them!! As for the future, I always love flowers!! I would love to see different types of flowers.
Adorable sets. Those penguins are too cute.
Love Sunny Studio ♥
All your sets are beautiful… I checked out your web sight. Penguins in Valentine’s day and St Patty’s day…
Very cute sets. I would like to see a farm animal set.
HI Great stamps. I would like to see reindeer, owls, skunks in the future.
I have a few sets from Sunny Studios and they are FANTASTIC! I’ve already made quite a few projects with them. I highly recommend the fishtail banner dies…I can’t stop using them! Congratulations Mendi on starting your new company. I’m sure I will be buying from you for years to come!!
These stamps are adorable. I would like to see a set of nature stamps…leaves, flowers, bees, butterflies etc.
I would love to see a stamp set that has realistic looking four wheelers, snow machines and motorcycles. Or a stamp set that has realistic looking rifles, shotguns, pistols and bows. I have searched the www for sets that have these images and have had NO luck finding them!!! There are many wheelie enthusiasts and hunters that want to be able to scrapbook their adventures too! TFS!
adorable stamp sets!!!
I love these penguins, so adorable! I would love to see flamango stamps in the future. Good luck with your new company. I will be looking forward to seeing what you design next.
Love the stamp sets. With Holidays so close, I think some new stamps for late winter and spring would be great. A New Year, Presidents Day, and Valentines are coming
I would like to see something with dogs, deer or owls. LOVE the penguin sets you have now. so adorable.
I’ve been following
Sunny Studio blog
since it launched!
I would like to
see some archery
type stamps.

Congratulations, Mendi! I admire your talent & courage to start your own business! The sets look adorable–love that you have one for winter birthdays & thank yous! Most of the cards I send are friendship–just to surprise someone & hopefully make their day, so that’s the theme I’d love to see.
Really cute stamps! I would like to see masculine stamps such as fishing.
Awwww Man….I LOVE penguins and your giveaway is awesome. I can’t get into my facebook page right now so Congrats to Mendi on your launch. That’s so cool. I’ll be checking out your treasures and shopping!!!

Delightful stamps! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love floral designs and would like to see some of those. Also, a
foliage and greenery set.
So stinking cute!!!
Very cute stamps. Would like to see some transportation theme stamps.
I love penguins and skiing so those 2 sets are a must for me. They are tops on my Christmas wishlist. I would love to see other little critters that would fit the same accessories that the penguin set has.
These are adorable! My daughter loves penguins! :)
These sets are adorable, and I’ve been a long-time admirer of your creative scrapbook pages! I’d love to see a set themed toward camping and outdoors. Thanks Mendi!
I love cute images and these certainly fit the bill! Congratulations Mendi on the launch of your new company!!! I’ve had a difficult time lately finding a general sentiments stamp set that has a different font for each sentiment. Would love to see something like that. Your stamps are adorable! I will definitely be checking out your other collections. Thanks for the chance to win this fun set!
I love these new stamps and just recently purchased and starting creating with a few sets!! They are awesome!
very cute and fitting for the season.
Love the little penguins. The one snow skiing is darling.
So original.
I just like little animals doing things you wouldn’t associate with them.
thanks and good luck with your new endeavor.
