FS245 ~ Smooches

by

Good evening stampers and boy do I have a fabulous Featured Stamper 245 for you at Splitcoast Stampers! I've never seen Dawn's/DoStamping gallery until this week and I also pray she hasn't been featured before either as I didn't check the list, but the second I saw her gallery, I was like WOW! She gets a tremendous amount of hits on all of her work. It will blow you away like it did me. This is one challenge you won't want to miss. I chose Dawn's Convention Swap #1 card and made my Smooches card. It was Dawn's colors that really inspired my card and you can see them reflected on my image. Check out all of the fun at the Featured Stamper 245 Gallery!

I do hope that you join me for this wonderful challenge every Sunday at Splitcoast Stampers for the Featured Stamper Challenge. I put the challenge up at 10 p.m. EST on Saturday evenings for you to get an early start. God bless you and thank you so much for stopping by to see me. I hope that you enjoy my card and that it provides you with some inspiration. This one's for you Kim! My dear friend Kim Hughes is the owner of Paper Smooches Stamps and the bird is the logo for her company and the sentiment is part of the company's name.
