Sweet 'N Sassy Digi Release

Sadly, this is my last post as a designer for Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.

Wow, six months flew by!

This has been such a fabulous design team to work on.

Thank you Korin, for everything. You are the best.

I tried to make an extra special card today.

So, I tried my hand, at making a twisted ribbon bow.

Not bad for my first attempt.

I paper pieced a new digi, Abby's birdhouse, and colored her with copics.

Isn't she darling?

I added a sentiment from the Happy Birthday stamp set.

Layered it all on a couple of nesties and there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by today and check out all the goodies at Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.
