Hello my blogging friends! I was able to sneak into my craft room for a while this weekend. I got my fingers just a little inky and used a RUBBER stamp from Whimsy and Stars Studio. Did you know that you can get some of Mabelle’s adorable images in rubber? If you didn’t, you can see what is available right here.
This stamp is so sweet. I colored these 2 girls to resemble my best friend and I when we were young. Can you believe we have been friends (through all the ups and downs that entails while growing up) since we were just 6 years old? I won’t tell you exactly how many years that has been, but take my word for it, it’s been a lot!
I don’t have any really old photos of us scanned, but here is one of us from 2004. (It was taken at an Oscar part for “The Return of the King” in LA. Fabulous fun but that is another story.)
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great week!
