6:25 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did!! It was very busy after returning home from visiting my family and then having more company here but all the same it was fun. Summers just seem to be crazy busy with lots of events planned!!

Anywho....I would like to share this week's Product Spotlight from Stamp and Create.

This week's Product Spotlight is: Sweet Pea Stamps! That means that

All Sweet Pea Stamps are on sale for 25% off!!!

For my creation this week I used Spring Witch from the Ching-Chow Kuitcollections. I also used white silk ribbon, blue green mini prima roses,Prima - Mini Gypso - Mauve, large scalloped circle nestabilities, scalloped edge frame spellbinders and silver round spacers available at the store.

It's also time for another Monthly Challenge!! Every month Stamp and Create hosts a new challenge on the first Monday of the month.
