We are so happy to have another new
Private Blend Designer
coming to The Cafe!!
Please meet
Stacy Rodriguez
"My name is Stacy Rodriguez and I'm a midwest girl from Illinois.
I have been scrapbooking for about 8 years now. I love every minute of creating cards, layouts, and altered items. I also work at my LSS so I ALWAYS have my hands on scrap goodies!! I have been with hubby for 15 years now, and we have a daughter who just started high school this year and she is the main focus of almost all of my layouts!! When I am scrapbooking you will always find a cup of coffee or a Dr. Pepper by my side to keep the mojo going. I try and create something or work on a project everyday. My scrapbook addiction is letter stickers. Any kind, color,size you name it I love my letter stickers.

I want to thank everyone here for welcoming me as the newest
Private Blend Designer.
Private Blend Designer.
We are so pleased to welcome
a wonderful new sponsor to the Cafe...
I have always believed there was a need for stamp sets that crafters could use in their cards, scrapbook pages and other crafty projects for the boys and men in their life. I have searched for stamps that could fill that niche but would only find a random stamp set here and there. I was tired of the same old fishing and sports stamp sets. I could not rely on the craft market to meet my needs so I went out and started my own stamp company...TradeFish Designs!
Now don't get the wrong idea, you can use the images and sentiments in my stamps for feminine cards or projects too! I am creating stamps that you can use for anyone...think of them as "unisexy" stamps. All the designs are a product of my own quirky design style and sense of humor, as well as a reflection of the boys and men I have had the privilege to know and love. I hope you enjoy TradeFish Designs stamps and create wonderful projects for the people you care about.
TradeFish Designs Company Pledge:
There will be no flowers, butterflies and/or girly swirls in any TradeFish Designs stamp sets ever!
