Back and Stamping


We are back from vacation! - After sorting through mounds of mail and emails, and getting settled back in - I couldn't wait to stamp. Ohhh, where to start? It has been so long since I have stamped and created any paper projects so of course I looked to my favorite challenges to get inspired. This week the Paper Players have a sketch challenge. I have been anxious to pair the new stamp set " Up Up and Away" with the new Simply Scrappin' Kit -" Tea Time". Don't you just love these yummy colors together? 

Paper - Simply Scrappin' - Tea Time
Ink - basic black, lucky limeade, pool party
Stamps - Up Up and Away, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories - Top Note die, corner rounder, whisper white taffeta ribbon, pink button, dimensionals
