Discount Rubber Stamps
To get a fabulous discount on rubber stamps be sure and check out my retired rubber stamps collection. I’ve added a few sets since my last post about them. Some stamps seem to be on walkabout. 🙂 I have some sets that are missing a stamp or two, and as soon as I reunite them […]
St. Patricks Day Card
Making a shamrock for this St. Patricks Day card was easy using the stamp set and framelits that I picked up in the Hearts a Flutter Bundle (w-131098/c-131097) from the Spring Catalog.
