Happy Thursday! Today I'm featuring the Fly Fairy Unmounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs, with a few other stamps on this vintage tag.

I have accepted the challenge to color something every day in June. It doesn't even have to be a full card, just spend 10 minutes or so coloring something. I decided it would be fun to create my own patterned paper with the button in the Sew Thoughtful stamp set by Red Rubber Designs.

Have you ever had such a precious and meaningful photo, that you're afraid to scrap it? My mom, who rarely ever asks me to scrap photos for her, actually printed and gave me this photo many months ago, of her and her dad, who passed away a few years ago from Alzheimer's, to get to whenever inspiration strikes.

Hello and welcome back Stampers! It felt so good to finally create this jungle scene in my art journal, as the idea started a few months ago, as I was going through my Red Rubber Designs Stamps! I took out Tiger Face, Take Pride, Fern Sprig, and Fern Frond, setting them aside, until I was able to come up with this page, made with some recycled bits and pieces.
