Stempel Spass

I am happy to tell you that my blog has grown again and two new members have found their way over to my blog! I want to send a warm welcome to  Sandra and  Debra Both are accomplished stampers and their blog are fun to visit - lots of inspiration to be found - hop on over, if you have time. Thanks Ladies for joining my blog. And as always, I picked a welcome picture for you: This masterpiece can be right now found at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and is knitted by  Tatyana Yanishevsky .

It really took me forever to come up with an idea for the Twinery challenge                                                                I had a couple of them, but only in my head.

I detached them from the metal spiral and used them for this card: I cross-stitched them together with twine - of course.... A heart embellishment and the stamps are from Hero Arts - You and Me. I like it. It makes a strong statement, I think. It will go into my Valentine's card stash.... Never hurts, to be ahead of the game.... Oh yes, since I used snippets it will also go into the  Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground ...
