hmmmmm.

I totally caved.  Yep, CAVED.
I told myself to be strong… that I don’t need more stamps.
But then, THIS adorable stamp company came along.
And… I lost the battle and happily so!  Hee hee.

I am excited to be using my OWN brand spankin’ new stamps from Paper Smooches for this SPARKS challenge.

I’m using Friendly Flowers and Sentiment Sampler.  The flower stamp reminded me of the tomato tops and then mixed in colors and patterned paper to match the inspiration photo.  Lots of masking and some fun different colors.  Almost has a fall feel to it.

This won’t be the last from me!
I’m addicted to PS stamps.
