2.  April Stamp of the Month: This fun and sunny stamp set is perfect for both cards, layouts, and even some fun Summer home decor projects!  From sunshine to a bird and even a hot air balloon, these fun, footloose and fancy free images are sure to tickle your fancy! They have been tickling mine for over a week as I have played with this set. I'll be sharing some of my artwork with you throughout the month.  The only hard thing was putting this set away and moving on to something else!  I made the card you see at the top of the post with the April Stamp of the Month. I used my very favorite image in the set, the sunshine.  The cute sentiment, "Sun is shining. Weather is sweet. Make you wanna move your dancing feet. -Bob Marley" was perfect for the inside of my card. This set (retail value of $17.95) can be yours during April only for $5 with every $50 order.  Hop on over to my website and you'll be prompted to add this set before you check out.
