If the Shoe Fits!

Welcome back! This week the Stampendous Design Team is sharing ideas using the wonderful shoe and matching sentiment stamps and stencils from Stampendous!

Shoes, shoes, shoes!

Happy May everyone! It's still a little chilly here, and has been kind of rainy, but warmer, sunnier days are coming, I just know it! With nicer weather comes the opportunity to break out all those strappy, summery shoes we own, so this week the Stampendous Design Team is sharing ideas using the wonderful shoe and matching sentiment stamps and stencils fromStampendous!

Today I'm using the fabulous new Stiletto Metal Stencil (FMS4022) that was released in April. This beautiful design is perfect for bridal shower invites or cards, girls' night out, Mother's Day, birthday...well I think you understand.
