To see… Read More: Stampin’ Fancy Friday – Character Challenge »
Recently, I was browsing through my stash of retired stamp sets and I came across the Sip, Sip Hooray stamp set. I realized it was PERFECT for my daughter’s big 25th birthday this year.

Happy Friday!!! Our theme for this week’s TGIF Challenge is “Use Your Scraps.” This theme raises a big question, do you keep your scraps? I know stampers who keep every single scrap, no matter how small and others who don’t keep any. I tend to fall in the middle. I keep larger scraps, especially basics.… Read More: #TGIFC414 — Use Your Scraps — Tropical Leaf Bundle »
