The By the Bay stamp set has got to be one of my favourite items from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. I love the serene images and that house overlooking the water looks so peaceful. First glance at this stamp set can be a little bit daunting. Well, it was for me anyway because all I could…
Last week I stamped and die cut lilies in every colour. This stamp is so easy to work with and very effective. Being a Distinktive stamp set, it offers the advantage of a photo like image with a single stamping. How gorgeous are these lilies in Coastal Cabana? Bermuda Bay is a lovely combination with…
