Chatterboxes (& a Chance to Win!)
Chatterboxes. Yep, I've got two. Built right in and no way to pause them or turn down the volume. They say the funniest and most insightful things! Sometimes you can make them run longer by giving them sugar, and the only way to turn them off is when they go to bed. Yep, two little Chatterboxes, my two little boys. Sorry, these chatterboxes are not for sale, as I love my chatterboxes to pieces.
Chatterbox. Perfect name for the second stamp set being released this month by Practicing Creativity Designs! This stamp set has a ton of modern and classy large words and even more small supplement words. Trust me, this set fills a lot of gaps in the stamping world and you can mix and match and never get bored!
The first card shows a bit of the fun side that this set has to offer. This second card shows how the larger words are quite elegant and can stand alone. (The colors are inspired by the Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge-I had to play this week, loving the colors!)
Please head on over to Dana's and Paulina's blogs for more eye candy, and then stop by Courtney's where she has a super great video and for a chance to win it!
