THANK YOU so very much Lynette!! for your sponsorship and kindness of allowing us to try your products... and another THANK YOU to Daredevil Randi, for putting this sponsorship together!!! Big hugs to you both!! "Sweet Pea Stamps range anywhere from whimsical to artistic. They are made of hiqh quality, unmounted red rubber.

here's the sketch for DDSC#34... created by Kaitlyn, Andrea's darling daughter... (told you it will be an exciting month)....
my card features "Unregrettable Pirate Life by Ching-Chou Kiuk"... gosh, isn't this mermaid pretty?! i had the best papers to use with her and then after putting it together, i thought it'd be a nice Father's day card for my DH... now i kinda wish i used the "best mate" sentiment... this is my first time ever inking up one of these beauties... i've had my eyes set on a few and never got a chance to get some... now i do and i'm loving it... need to work on coloring these though... don't look too closely or you might see my flaws... =D
