Skipping Stones Design Tips and Tutorials Hop!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the Skipping Stones Design Tips and Techniques Blog Hop for October!  If you are hopping along you should have arrived from the talented Tanja's Blog
If you have just started, there is inspiration and a lot of ideas ahead; leave a little love along the way for a chance to win a stamp set!


I want to encourage you to look at your design element stamps differently.  This wreath was made from a single stamp from the 'Joy' Stamp Set.


  I simply stamped the image in a circle, overlapping the circular element on either end of the image. 


Did you notice that I made a fall card with a stamp from a Christmas stamp set?  Get creative with your stamps!  The sentiment is from the Healing Wings Stamp Set


I was inspired by the challenge at The Card Concept~

 And a sketch at Viva La Verve~


 I needed the inspiration as I was MOJO-less!

If you started at the Skipping Stones Design Blog, you have completed the hop!  If you have not been to the Skipping Stones Design Blog,  it is your NEXT STOP
