Get Inspired

I admit it - I have tons of paper and book shelves full of stamps!  I love NEW products and tend to use them for a month or two and then they get lost in my mind.

I search Pinterest for inspiration and I pick out pattern paper that I have forgotten about and I go to the COLOR LAB to find the right colors to match.
