 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If colors can be called springy...that's what i would call these. This was the birthday card of winter stamp camp.

thoughts and prayers

When my uncle Rolie passed away about 2 months ago, i was in the mode of stamping sympathy cards. These are a few more of what i came up with. I started by grabbing some retired dsp that i just love and kinda hoarded it bc it was almost too pretty to use ...i bet none of you do that right?

After i had small strips left, i couldn't bear to throw them in the garbage, so i started punching circles. I sometimes wonder, how far is to far in saving every stinkin piece;) so before you poke fun, it turned out pretty right?

This last one was my masculine version for my single man cousin. i know there are pearls on there, but i only hope he noticed what was written on the inside, as that was what mattered most....
