Hello,
Welcome to the Stampin Addicts Retiring Stamp Blog Hop.
Well I am excited this is my first Stampin' Addicts BlogHop. I really hope you like everyone's blog and especially
mine. I choose Circle Circus as my Retiring stamp Set. I have had
so much fun with that set and really am sad to see it go. It really makes
a great background stamp. The first card I used it on was a
black and white card and it was amazing in black and white, in fact I used it
only black and white for the first few times and then
I experimented with color and I was off.
Well here are some of my cards that I have
made with Circle Circus - goodbye old friend. Remember you have only to June 3, to get these great stamp sets and all the others that are retiring.
