It's time for the first Mama Elephant stampede of the year and I'm pretty sure you are going to LOVE the stamps you will be seeing! If you arrived directly here make sure to start at the BEGINNING of the stampede over on the Mama Elephant Blog to join in all the fun. If you are already stampede-ing along, then you have arrived from the blog of the super talented Alice Wertz!
I have a fun valentine to share with you made with stamps from the Smitten and Cosmic Stars sets. I just LOVE all of the fun sentiments that are in Smitten and aren't the images in Cosmic Stars just adorable? I made the fun strip of ombre paper with some of my favorite Distress Ink colors:
To continue on today's stampede stomp (or stamp) on over to Leigh Penner's blog. She is our guest designer this month here at Mama Elephant and I am sure you are in for a treat! Remember, all the stamps you are seeing today are available in the Mama Elephant shop right now.
WANT A CHANCE TO WIN SOME STAMPS OF YOUR OWN???
Mama Elephant is giving away 3 gift certificates (worth $20 each) to the shop. Just comment along all of the blogs in the Stampede to win. Winners will be chosen at random and announced on the Mama Elephant blog on Monday, January 21st! If you are a facebook user (make sure to LIKE Mama Elephant)...I hear there is going to be a surprise giveaway there.
