I have some exciting happenings on my blog the next few days, as my birthday and The Bald Dragonfly's anniversary occur on the same day. Look out for a giveaway!
I wanted to throw my hat in for Market Street Stamps Special Edition Block Party. Congratulations to them for turning a year old! There are some fabulous entries so far, I was a bit intimidated to enter this one, but I couldn't resist, I love their stamps and I think I added some cute personal touches. This snail from Slow Movin' is so cute, it is a large size so it can hold its own on a card. I added my own touches by replacing the stamped shell with dyed rolled ribbon and the antenae with knotted string. The grass is from Homegrown. I added a touch of pink ink for the cheeks-too cute! and softened everything up a bit with some creamy brown ink on the edges.
