Timely Tuesday with Botanical Bliss

Flowering Friend Card Tutorial
A quick note: the format of my blog may change over the next couple weeks as I begin my new job and work to get my mom settled into her new place.  I love being able to blog every day, but I do not think I'll be able to do it every day until our new family routines are settled.  I appreciate the support and flexibility as we make these changes and hope to stamp with all of you soon!  I anticipate I'll be able to put up a blog tutorial about every other day.  I'll at least need to do some stamping for my own sanity ;)

The Product of the Week is the Botanical Bliss Stamp Set.  It features lots of great images that can be used alone or repeatedly to create different effects.  They are also bold, which makes for easy or simple designing.  There are 4 sentiments and a "to: from:" stamp so you can make tags.  Speaking of tags, this stamp set coordinates with the Botanical Tags Thinlits Dies, which gives you even more designing freedom.
