Each month stamp companies release new sets of stamps. One stamp company that I have several of their sets has a release on Friday night. Verve Stamps will release their new sets as well as several single stamps. As part of their release week (the week before the actual release of the stamps) they are having a contest. They have created 3 sketches and 1 color challenge and have challenged their readers to participate. I…
Well I spent some time yesterday making my cards for the ladies (and 1 gentleman) at New Towne Village.
