Hop on over to 'Our Creative Corner' to see what the rest of the design team has created

OCC ~ Getting Wordy

Hello everyone and welcome to 'My Little Stampin' Spot! I am so ready for spring, how about you? I have been fighting a very bad case of bronchitis but I have still found some time to stamp!

This week our hostess over at 'Our Creative Corner' is Sarah Gough ~ Thinking Stamps. I love Sarah's work, she always has so many cute and fresh ideas! This week Sarah is challenging us to 'Get Wordy' - Use a sentiment stamp to create a background or layer for your card/project by stamping it repeatedly. I chose to use my 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from the 'Bring on the Cake' SU! stamp set. I stamped it repeatedly on Whisper White cs using Real Red ink.
