There is a tremendous number of items in the store including stamps, sentiments, accessories and bundles to save money!  If you love crafting as much as I do you are bound to find something to tickle your fancy!!!! 

And speaking of tickling your fancy...  here is an image or two that tickled mine...

 
I stamped the image (Abigail) on Copic compatible paper before coloring.  The outfit (So Proud of You) was stamped on light blue card stock with black ink and fussy cut).  I added it and the bow on the image before cutting/embossing with an oval die.  The base is white card stock with a coordinating layer of light blue CS and an embossed white layer.  A double seam binding bow (white and blue) with pearl and die cut flourish adorn the corner.  I added a stamped sentiment on top with a clip.  Reminds me of a clipboard.  Such a darling little girl!  Be sure to check out Paper Sweeties'  store for all the stamps used here!   
 
 Now here's today’s hop schedule…  Be sure to check out what everyone has showcased!  Thanks for stopping by!
