Stamping Country

Ginghams & Flowers

Love the happy patterns and colors of the Gingham Garden Designer Paper.  It's not going to take long to whip through this beautiful package of designer paper.  And the Tasteful Trim Die is such a great compliment to the Gingham Garden Suite with its rick rack and scallops.  Add a few butterflies  to your garden with the Beautiful Wings Embosslits.

If you like the tiny stitched bow, you'll want to stay tuned in to Stamping Country for a quick & easy tiny bow tutorial this week.

 

Loving all the cute greetings in the Really Good Greetings stamp set.  Did you notice the teeny heart embedded in the you stamp?  So sweet.

 

Not stamping for a few days can get you out of your creative groove, but a great sketch can get you right back on track.  

 

I Missed a few blog

posts this past 

weekend.  It's been

an eventful weekend.

We started with a few

adventure filled days

late in the week with

3 of our grandsons,

then it was off to West Virginia for the graduation of my baby boy and his wife.  My next younger son and his family also moved across several states to start a new chapter in their lives.
