Hey there!

I started up a rubber stamp business with two other Hawaii Alpha Gams, and we open for business (online) tomorrow

http://www.greekimpressions.com

It's taken us just over a year to work with the artists and suppliers to create our product, and I've been slaving over our website for months.

If you've got the time, I'd love for you to stop by to check us out and give me some feedback.

Warmest,
Mai

I checked out the site, Mai...and you've done a great job! Red and buff roses to you, Mackinley, and Malia!

And a new Greek rubber stamp empire has begun...

I love the site... the squirrel is so cute. I will have to pass this along to my step-mother.

Stamp Idea... the IHQ logo of the roses. I just love the current image!

To do the official logo, she would have to be a Greek Licensed vendor. The beauty of doing each letter on individual stamps means that there is nothing to license. None of those mascots are trademarked and individual greek letters can't be trademarked. Plus, the way she has set this up, locals can get their letters too. Awesome!

Congratulations Mai, and wishing you the best of luck!

Exactly why we went this way

Thanks for the comments!

I understand... so the swirly roses are trademarked?

Those stamps are super cute!

We can come up with a stamp of two swirly roses, but the rights to the beautiful ones you see on IHQ/Foundation stationary belong to AGD :-)

I added a card for you all in our idea gallery!

Squirrel Card

Yay for SQUIRRELS!

Hugs,

Atlanta Open for Alpha Gams?

GtownGirl98 · #12 12-13-2005, 11:06 AM

I don't get it... but then again I didn't go to Atlanta for the convention... was that logo used? It looks a little like the roses but not really.

Mia... too cute of a card. I wish that I was crafty in that way... but I am more a needleart person.

AGDLynn · #13 12-13-2005, 06:28 PM

I was being a bit sarcastic, lol. The "swirly" logo of Atlanta always reminds me of Alpha Gam's..after all we were first!

I think we had it in Atl convention so maybe that's where someone got the idea!

Maybe the person who designed their logo is an Alpha Gam, and she couldn't help but be inspired by those beautiful swirly roses

I made a post to our online group so any scrapbookers or other crafty ladies can support our sisters. We don't have any stores around, so if we're going to buy online, why not buy from squirrels?

I love the squirrel card!
