Backgrounds-Hero Arts August MMH kit

I have to warn you, this is a long post! The August kit and add ons were packed full of great background options! I couldn't pass on that great Pretty Moon Spiral Bold Print background stamp (my first traditional background stamp).  The stencil included in the kit is great as well, and those mist sprays!!!…

Simon Says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge Back to School

This week the Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp's is back to school, featuring Avery Elle products. I skipped using Avery Elle products, as I only have a couple of sets that did not fit the challenge. Instead I used my trusty Stamping Bella unicorns! They always come through for me! I am going to…

Baby Cards!

My co-workers seem to be procreating at an alarming rate, so I've been busy making "newborn," cards. I only had one set of stamps that could be used for baby cards. It just so happened to be one of my favorite sets, but since not everyone is into fantasy creatures, I thought I should get…
