Hi Stampers, Today for our hop we had a sketch challenge. I borrowed this darling stamp set “Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts” I realized this is the PERFECT set to use for our hop. I wish I had ordered this adorable set when the Occasions Catalog started as I know this would have been a favorite of mine. It’s retiring in May so if you want this cute stamp set now is the time to get it ordered.
Here is the sketch:
