WT439 - Featuring...Backgrounds (8/8/13)
 

Linda (Holstein) is our hostess here this week, but she's experiencing internet problems, so I'm posting her challenge for her. I hope you're back online soon, Linda!
I loved her challenge this week, I hope you all do too!

Linda is asking us to use a background stamp or make our own backgrounds . I have a huge collection of background stamps and am always happy to pull them out, but in the wonderful sample Gail (GailNM) made she used the same stamp for her background as for her focal image.

Have fun with your backgrounds today!

Remember to use the keyword WT439 when uploading your card, and link it here on this thread too so more people get to see it :D.
