Spring Mini Catty

Hi there,

I thought I would start to use some of the stamps from the latest Spring Mini Catty. This stamp set Great Friend is my favourite from it. It can be used in so many colour themes and for so many occasions just by changing the verse around. Think about using it for these occasions: Wedding, thanks, birthday, friendship, thinking of you, get well, sympathy, and the list goes on. For the purchase of this stamp set or any others from the new Stampin' Up supplement email me ( ascorsi@bigpond.com )with your details and I'll be glad to help.
