Welcome to my Stamping Blog

I just love this new Happy Wishes stamp set that's available during Sale-a-bration only.  And now it's confession time ... it's the first time I've used it!!  I stamped the "Happy" image in the center of the Lots of Labels largest framelit with Archival Black ink.  Then, with my stamp-a-ma-jig, I stamped the "wishing you a ..." and the "birthday" sentiments. Coloring in the flowers was fun and easy -- I used a few of the Stampin' Markers: I believe I...
