Having started stamping 15 or so years ago, I have a lot of oolllddd stamps. This is one of them! I have no idea where it came from or who made it, but I like the appearance of the grapevine wreath. I was able to get some practice coloring with my daughter's old Prisamcolor pencils (her old rejects!).

Thank you for visiting!

I just started playing around with ATCs, and thought I would do one with a Valentine Theme. The background stamp is an old one of mine, and the main stamp is from the $1 bin at Michaels. These are more difficult than I thought, but I like the size so I will be doing more and hope to start doing swaps when I get better at it!
