Dare To Dream . . .

Just poppin' in to say . . .

Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone is staying safe and eating some good food with the ones you luv!  :)  I can't believe this, but I created a card for pure fun this time, not for a DT.  :)   If you've been hearing the buzz about Sister Stamps, then you are right with me (along with many, many other crafters)!  EXCITED, THRILLED, OH SO HAPPY!  :)  Local girl, Jenny, along with her sister Denise, have collaborated and created very cute Asian stamps!  They were released July 1st.  When I got my cuties, I had to immediately cut the rubber and ink it up. 

Today, I have Mei Lin to share with you.  This is not your traditional 4th of July card.  But hey, what the hay . . . I'm just happy to be spending this day with my family and thrilled to help celebrate Sister Stamps debut!



I made a little easel card.  See that sentiment (from PTI), I thought it was the perfect wording for Jenny and Denise.  "Dare to DREAM, then watch what happens."  I'm sure the thought of starting a small business must've been scary and pretty overwhelming.  Well, the DREAM has come true . . . now the adventure begins!


Mei Lin is right there celebrating and supporting this venture!  No worries in the world, just a free spirit.


Congratulations again Jenny and Denise! 
Have a great 4th everyone!
