Guest Designing

GinaK
squeal!!!
I am so excited and honored to be guesting for GinaK this month, along with her fantastic designers & illustrators.  Such a creative bunch!
Is this a banner or what?  Love!  Those cuties in the photos, are my family.  My husband Jess, daughter Kendall & son Jacob.
Today, I am sneaking two stamp sets.  They are very much different, but how I love them both.  They are called, "Ready Set Snow," and "Where your Heart is".  I will have to say, "Where your Heart is" is pulling at my heart strings right now.  The sentiments are perfect for anyone who knows or is related to a service member who is deployed.  They work for other things too, but because my husband is in the Navy, I will be using this set a lot!  "Ready Set Snow" is chalked full of cute little winter animals, and super punny sentiments...so much fun!

Here is a card using Where your Heart is
