SSNOTIME #55 Stamp & Sing With Becky!!
Good Morning! Today's challlenge is get inspired by Becky! Sharon has honored each designer for the Stamp Simply challenges over the past few weeks. It's been a blast going through each blog and finding inspiration. I've known Becky for about one year. Her style is very clean and simple. Becky loves beautiful ribbon as well as bold designer prints. Music is also a huge part of Becky's life. For my card and inspiration I went with her love of music! This beautiful paper is from Graphic 45. I used the Dragonfly Duet paper for my card. The bird is from Crafty Secrets. The sentiment and yummy ribbon can be found at Kitchen Sink Stamps.
Make sure you check out the other Stamp Simply designers for more inspiration. This month we are so excited to have Darlene as a Guest Designer stop by and show her some love.
Tammy, Julie, Janine, Jennifer, Becky.

Your card is just beautiful, Dee!!! Love that brown/vintage sheet music. Actually, I was just wishing for some and am SO glad to see where I can get it!!! Thanks!!! And Maria's challenges sound like fun. I would LOVE to play but am preparing for an out of town wedding tomorrow and resulting out of town visitors for next week, so I have no time -- bummer!!! Thank YOU so much for this lovely creation and inspiration -- very Becky-ish!!!! For sure!!!
