For today's Clean and Simple Challenge, to think spring! Sometimes I just like to stamp, do you know what I mean? It's just fun for me to put ink on a stamp and put it to paper over and over. That must be why I like making my own backgrounds. I think 2 things are a must to make a springy background...this set called "Flower Garden" available here at Pink Persimmon: http://www.pinkpersimmon.com/shop/flowergarden.html
And I LOVE using Papertrey Ink's Guide Lines I Grid Paper #since I am spatially challenged!#. I can hardly believe that this piece of paper was white to start out with...it makes me HAPPY to look at this cheery little garden and butterfly, hee!
