Do you still follow us on this blog? If you do, you're likely wondering why it has been so quiet over here. It's because we've been blogging over on new blog under our new company name. In 2011 the company changed from Penny People Designs to The Penny Paper Co. If you're not following our new blog you may be missing out on awesome product announcements like the addition Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07878991619220099384noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728075.post-32661366376536869612011-08-29T08:32:00.000-07:002011-08-29T08:32:46.838-07:00What's new...Did you see what's new over on our *new* blog? For awhile we'll be posting in both places so our long time customers know about our awesome new products. But we'd love it if you follow us on our new fancy blog here.
One thing that I'm quite excited about with the new design direction for The Penny Paper Co is the focus on collections. Here is an example of one collection I called "English Manor".Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07878991619220099384noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728075.post-25057997005149079182011-08-17T18:37:00.000-07:002011-08-17T18:37:19.962-07:00Whoa ... Big Change!Did you hear? Our company name changed! We're now called "The Penny Paper Co." and "Penny People Designs" has retired. So this means, new name, new products, and .... a new blog!

It has been forever since I did this, and got into my zone. Curled up on the big comfy couch while the little man slept, I thought that these Penny People characters would work perfectly as a stamp. A lot of the designs in our little shoppe begin this way - as a sketch.
