Welcome to my Stamping Blog

I haven't had time to make a card yet today, but I wanted to let you know some exciting news from Stampin' Up!  They announced a 24 hour flash stamp sale, 15% off select stamps, THIS WEDNESDAY! Below, you can SEE the stamp sets, rather than just view the names, but I also have an alphabetical list for you all.  Tomorrow I'll try to share a card with you using at least one of these stamp sets.  Until then... happy shopping!PS Don't forget to use the host code...
