Have you seen some of the new Pixie Cottage stamps?

I have not been by to post the latest rubber stamps. Shame on me!  They are definitely worth seeing. Sweet Shoppe by ArTish is wonderful alone, but also would make a perfect background stamp for your favorite Tilda stamp.  I can already picture that sweet 60's Tilda sitting on the counter.
I also think The Stockings were Hung  also by ArTish would work perfectly alone or as a background stamp.
Now of course I have some new stamps by Sandra Hammer!!  I know you Hannah fans were waiting for another Hannah for Christmas cards. Hannah's Candle is perfect for that!



And last, but certainly not least, another perfect stamp to stand alone or be used as a background.
Winter Mailbox by Sandra Hammer
Now you can see there really is something for everyone.  Also recently added is a great stamp from ArTish Dashing Through the Sky with some added sentiments, and another Hannah stamp called Hannah's Letter that you can by alone or in a smaller version with a sentiment shown below.  And if you haven't seen the Bird stamp collection you must stop by and check those out, either pick your bird, or buy the whole set!


So there you have it, our latest stamps.  Now I have to mention there will soon be another Christmas Hannah stamp and a new set of stamps from a NEW artist!!!  So be sure to check back. 
Thanks for dropping by.

We have another fabulous sketch for you and it gives you a lot of scope for adding your own twist to it.

As always you can use the sketch or the optional technique or both!
