Good morning! Hope you are enjoying what’s left of summer! It’s hard to believe how fast it has flown by–school will be starting very soon and it also means that a tax free holiday is coming. This weekend!!!
The stamp set I used below comes in a bundle with those cool thinlits. The one I used for the waves can be used for a ton of stuff and the swirls make a cute “grapevine” wreathe. Check out some other ideas here.
