I’m thrilled to be waltzing along with Claire from Waltzingmouse Stamps this month. Her Nestabilities-friendly stamps are what first drew me to her store, as you can see on this card. The birthday sentiment by Verve Stamps was framed with a gorgeous design that is a perfect match for one a Labels One die-cut.
This month’s blog waltz theme is the colors of summer… blue and green. I had just the right DSP to make an elegant card for my mother-in-law, who celebrates her birthday next week.
Thanks for stopping by!

Inderdaad leuk om eens iets in het Nederlands te kunnen schrijven! 😉
Het achtergrond papier past inderdaad PERFECT bij de vorm en kleur van de rest. Toch leuk als alle puzzelstukjes ineenpassen hé.
