Sorry I did not have a post for you today. I was busy working on my taxes. I have been putting it off forever and decided today they had to be worked on. I am happy to say I got them finished and filed. Now I can go back to creating and having fun. I did receive and award several weeks ago that I forgot to post. Tania sent me this award and I was…
I got some new unmounted stamps the other day. I like the Whipper Snapper stamps as they have some cute animal stamps.

Do you recognize this layout? This is the third card I have made using it. I just wanted to show you how one layout can take on a different look just by changing the colors and stamps.
