 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Lucky You"




  The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Take Time Mini"
                                                      


Today's set is called "Pocket Watches" and as I mentioned in my previous post it is the perfect compliment for the mini set this month:


I love background stamps and this was a fun one to play with.  I came up with three cards this time (no pun intended, lol):














I had fun trying to figure out different ways to use the stamp and I played with some nice bright colours, which is not usually like me!  :)

I hope you enjoyed my cards, but the fun is not over!  You can visit Mark's Finest Papers store to purchase these sets along with lots of other wonderful sets.  Or, if you need some inspiration the DT list is below!  This is a blog hop after all and talented Toni is next on the list!  Or if you've started here click below to go back to the beginning.

    Great use of these sets. I like the way you used the twine on the first one and the yellow spotlighting on the second. But my favorite is the third one, with the purple!

    Beautiful cards. I really like the use of the pearl stick pins. I was especially drawn to your card when you colored a couple of the watches with yellow. It really stands out.
