Wow... what a weekend! Did you enjoy the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog tour? I really liked the way it was set up this time, it seemed quicker and easier to navigate. I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by for a look and all the comments left for me!
Would you believe I had 446 visitors?!! Amazing!
I have a blog candy winner to announce today!
Congratulations Deloris you are the winner!!
Thanks for participating, your package is on it's way!
I'm excited and challenged to try working on Christmas in July a little this month. I've posted my first Christmas card today using a digi stamp by The Stamping Boutique. I thought these snow men were so cute when I saw them I had to make them mine. If you feel the same way you can find them here. They are colored with Copic markers, the sentiment below them is from a set by Papertrey Ink called Signature Christmas that just seemed perfect for them. I kept the color scheme as simple as possible trying the white on white technique again. That's a difficult one for me you know! The sketch is Karen's Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps sketch 24 from yesterday. I turned it on it's side because I printed my snowmen too big...
