I didn't take very many photos during week 7. It was the week of my daughter's first solo competition and there was just too much excitement and nerves in the air but that wasn't the reason why I wasn't taking photos.

I used a rolling pin and bubble wrap to create the stamps. The acrylic paint brand I used is Reeves. They were a little on the darker side so I mixed a little bit of white in. The journaling flower is from an ephemera set from awhile ago so I don't know the brand. The... Continue Reading →
Ordered 12x12 prints from Persnickety Prints during their sale. I think Persnickety has the best price and quality for 12x12 prints. Prints are $1.99 per sheet and the sale was 25% off per sheet.
