Inspired By #132 ... summer fresh!

If you know me at all, you'll know that I was like one of the monkeys jumping on the bed[ding] when I saw our inspiration photo this week!  LOL  It didn't take more than a moment to find my cue from IB132...


I had the perfect stamp set on my desk at the ready … all it took was a quick 'stash-shopping' for some fun Catherine Pooler inks to [kinda] match that one-in-a-melon* duvet!

Hope you find just what your crafty heart is inspired by here today - come play, won't you?  You'll find lots more inspiration over at the IB132 blog!

Never underestimate the power of a great background set:

    Seriously, I would buy a duvet or shirt that had your card's print on it. Fresh and, oh so, appealing. Fantastic!.
