Happy Birthday, Mom

I’m thrilled to be waltzing along with Claire from Waltzingmouse Stamps this month. Her Nestabilities-friendly stamps are what first drew me to her store, as you can see on this card. The birthday sentiment by Verve Stamps was framed with a gorgeous design that is a perfect match for one a Labels One die-cut.
