news from justjohanna

Dear Johanna,

It's summer! And I loooove summer. Our little town has a Friday night classic car cruise, and the main street is busy with people walking around and enjoying the longer daylight hours. Our fruit trees have lost their Spring blossoms, and in a few weeks there will be oranges and plums and apricots, oh my!

We've been working on some web site improvements we hope you like. Sit down with us and help yourself to a tall, cold glass of lime-ade. There are some new people I want you to meet, and a fun contest. Enjoy!

We're also trying out a new email template that seems to be a little temperamental, so if you have trouble seeing the graphics properly, you can click here to see a JPG version of the newsletter formatted correctly.

June Sketch & Contest

Using the sketch to the left, create your best card using only justjohanna rubber stamps. Post your card in an online gallery or your own blog, and link to it on our blog during the month of June. We'll pick one winner & award a $25 credit to use in our online store.

Thanks to our design team for the samples shown on the right, and to Marnie Bushmole for the design featured in this article. Click here to see the full-size sample sketch cards.

US Postage Rate Increase

Effective 14 May 2007, US Postage rates have increased, so you'll notice a small increase in our shopping cart rates for domestic orders in response to this change.

International shipping rates have changed significantly.

In Australia and New Zealand, you can place your orders through Lime Tart and the increased shipping rates won't affect you directly.

In Canada and Mexico, orders that fit in a flat rate envelope & not weighing more than 4 pounds can be shipped for $9.00 and larger orders (up to 20 pounds) can be shipped for $23.00.

If you are in another part of the world, orders that fit in a flat rate envelope & not weighing more than 4 pounds can be shipped for $11.00 and larger orders (up to 20 pounds) are $37.00.

Read more about the rate changes here.

The Land of Lost Luggage

I recently sat down with Julie Prichard and asked her some fun questions. Julie designs her projects exclusively for justjohanna and is the new Design Team Coordinator. Julie also maintains a blog, The Land of Lost Luggage. You can read more about Julie (and the rest of the new design team members) here.

jj: If you were given a 50% of coupon to be used in any Craft or Art Supply store, what would you buy and why?

Julie: I love coupons! A fifty percenter is like GOLD to me. Since I am addicted to paints at the moment, I would probably buy a professional set of acrylic paints. (I currently have a deal with my neighbor: I trade homemade baked treats for his coupons. Works like a charm!)

jj: Do any of the justjohanna stamps speak to you more than others?

Julie: For sure. I am a big fan of justjohanna's borders, scrolls and other accent type images. I can always find room for a little justjohanna in every project. On the other hand, I love the birds as well...ohh, shoot. I can't decide!

jj: Describe your last "ah-ha" art moment.

Julie: I was blurfing (blog surfing) the other day and came across a recommendation for a great book about ATCs. The book "Artist Trading Card Workshop" by Bernie Berlin is filled with excellent pictures and instructions for creating so many of the wonderful techniques I have seen online. I can't put it down and am enjoying trying each one!

jj: What's your best advice for a new stamper?

Julie: Well, I still consider myself a new stamper! I guess the best advice I have is to do what you want to do. Stay true to yourself and if they say it can't e done, then do it anyways. Ha!

Au revoir until next month.

Chirpily,

Johanna Hatlestad
