She's asked us to reinvent a stamp and bring it to life - and for bonus cookies, to tell a story. I've done my best - it's not my forte, as you all know from the times I host the challenge ;-).
In France, they don't say cheese, not even Camembert. They say ouistititi (wee-stee-tee) which is the French for marmoset. But I don't have a single marmoset amongst my stamps, shock, horror, quelle surprise.

You had me at Flash Miles and Gogonzola Blue LOL. Loved your story and your card Sabrina. That mixed media background is incredible and the scene behind Flash is fabulous. I always love your edges, you even included photo corners, ready for the family album!!!

What a wonderful card, Sabrina! Love your creative character names Flash Miles and Gorgonzola Blue. Great bkgrd no matter what it took to get there. IF you hadn't haven't mentioned snowflakes I would have had no idea that is what you used. Too cool. Nice story and I like the way you interjected some of your memories and thoughts into it, too. xx

Great names for your characters, and nice play on the camera theme with the photo corners and "smile" sentiment. I always enjoy your backgrounds and the story about how you created them; this one looks like you did an excellent job saving a "failed" one.
