{Summer Hobby}

When I am not watching "Forensic Files" or working, I am most likely playing with my rubber stamps. Some friends and I made a Stampin' Up Club, where we meet every month and make cards, and get to order super cute stamps from Stampin' Up. I have found some really cute sites with great ideas for cards:

*The second two links have pictures of cards listed by which stamp set is used...SO handy!!

Because of that, I have decided to put some of my cards that I am particularly proud of up on my blog :) The first four are all made with Stampin' Up, the last one is not.
