Showcasing one of

Sienna’s
two stamps

I utilized a different Sketch...

by Sweet Sunday

to create this...

With an inspiring message (Stamps R Us) for a girl ...

BE YOURSELF!

"if EWE...

can't sleep...SHOP"

...or you could keep on counting SHEEP !

It is Monday again, which means it's time for...

"Monday Whatnots- what's not to LOVE!"

at
Paper Pretties

My project today combines one of my 2 new images with the

Gift Card holder Tutorial by Tanya

(one of my fellow Pixie Cottage design team pals)

So cute...I had to make one!
I used clothesline baby clothes paper to imply the reason you might not be sleeping is the precious baby in the nursery across the hall. It could so easily be that you drank too much espresso and then a Starbucks gift card could come into play...can't you just see the sheep a gorgeous mocha color!? Do sheep come in brown?

He is going to stroll into the following challenges when he's done shopping...
Res Q Makes Me Happy ~shopping
