November Technique Challenge---Clean and Simple
Sunday, October 28, 2012
Years Ago
Blockheads stamp?
Honestly, mine changes,
depending on what the
project is I'm working
on,
what colors I'm planning
to use,
and how images will
be combined.
This is probably my favorite
Years Ago piece, using
that lovely lady.
She looks so thoughtful,
doesn't she?
Have a wonderful Sunday,
everyone, and happy stamping!
