Hey there Stampers, it is Thursday again and time for another blog hop share. Today we have a sketch challenge. I opened up a “new to me” stamp set from the Occasions Catalog called “Big on Birthdays”. This stamp set is going to get well inked, I just love every stamp in the set!
Here is the sketch:
I flipped the sketch from vertical to horizontal to make room for my large sentiment.
