OLW17 Border Stamps

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, two posts in one day. Don't get use to it *wink* I stamp nearly everyday and usually remember to take photographs . . . it's the editing and actual posting that proves to be the challenge.

And speaking of challenges, this week's challenge on Simplicity's blog is to use a border stamp. As I perused my numerous, never-seen-ink border stamps, I came to the realization that as drawn as I am to the idea of using border stamps (and even border punches and what about all those nifty had to have Stampin' UP! wheels, huh?), I rarely use them. And when I do, I tend to reach for the same ones again and again. So thank you, Susan, for another great challenge.

The border stamp I used here is from an old (and never used, I might add) Hero Arts set of 6 sewing related stamps. The sentiment is also from HA - a recent clear set called "Sew Artsy", and the wonderful vintage sewing machine is from River City Rubber Works.

Enjoy! And thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Colleen
