I used to take part in a Europe-wide postal survey and have a lot of stamps from mail received. This background was from my stash, I had collaged them with mod podge. The snail's shell was cut from a piece of yupo with alcohol inks. SU sentiment die, and a doodled border.

I’m always amazed by your stash, Sabrina! I read your DD bio yesterday and so I know you’ve been stashing all your life, and you have some super cool resources to draw on, but one of the biggest is your imagination that sparks on how you can use that stash! This card with your awesome story once again showcases your diversity and I’m in awe of your creations and your life experiences.

Oh my goodness the background stamps are amazing. I recently joined another challenge to use real stamps and found that I have very few saved. I am going to try to remember to save stamps this year so I have a few more for my stash. These are just wonderful and work so well for your background.

Love your fun little snail. Tbe stamp collage is really interesting with so many different countries represented. (I have an envelope stuffed with stamps I used to get off mail, but the vast majority are US stamps.)

What a fab piece from your stash, Sabrina! I almost used a snail with my stamps, but now that I see yours, I'm glad I didn't! Fun card, mf!

I have been saving stamps from my European friends for some time with a collage like this in mind but for my own wall art. I really should be saving US stamps too I can do it on a card with. This is good looking! I am pretty sure I have a snail too...I may be casing you!
