Guest Designing at Sweet Stamp Shop

I'm doing a little guest designing over at

Sweet Stamp Shop 

this month!!

How cool is that?

They have some FABULOUS stamps being released,

so you'll want to check it out!

For this card, I combined two sets.

One of the sets is a brand new one coming out

called Drops Background (which you will love, by the way).

The other set I used is God Bless America.

With the events of last week in Boston, I felt like

being a little patriotic!  This is the absolute perfect

set for that!

I love to keep things clean and simple, if I don't, I

tend to "overthink" things and it looks like

a jumbled mess then. 

You can check out all of the awesomeness right

HERE

Thanks for stopping by today!

Stamps: Drops Background and God Bless America from Sweet Stamp Shop
Paper: PTI white, Night of Navy
Ink: Night of Navy
Misc: twine, star brad
