Blog Hop Stop #4


Welcome to stop #4 on the Stampin' Addicts Bon Voyage Blog Hop.

It's hard to say good-bye to old friends, isn't it? This time of year always makes me a little nostalgic as Stampin' Up! retires some of their stamp sets in order to bring us new ones. It's a trade off, and I'm glad for one more chance to showcase a favorite set of mine: Wonderful You.

This is such a versatile set. I had a great time playing with it. Here are 3 samples I chose to share:

Wow! I cannnot pick a favorite - they are all amazing. I really like the simplicity of the last one and the way you stamped the grass on both layers of the 2nd card. Can't wait to follow your blog!
