We had a very special wedding in our "family" this weekend. Earlier this year we made the invitations and then when I got a copy of the new catalog and saw the Always and Forever stamp set - I knew I would have to go with a different set when it came time to make the wedding card and the Thank You's. The set is very on trend with the wood themed rustic weddings right now. The couple had hand made wood burned magnets for the guests.I also wanted to get a head start for them on a … [Read more...] about Always and Forever: Wedding Season!

Balloon Celebration Online Workshop – Project 4
Today is the last project I will show featuring the stamp set Balloon Celebration. But - you will notice that it is completely different!One of the main advantages of photopolymer stamps is that they are transparent - so when you are stamping the placement is so easy!

I used that … [Read more...] about Balloon Celebration Online Workshop – Project 4
