What an exotic name for a stamp set! I had a Fun Day for my team and this is one of the cards we made. Flamingos are everywhere it seems, on bags, pillows/cushions, garden ornaments which have been spotted at various retail outlets, but have I seen any? I should go out more often! Have […]

Big News! Be the Star!
