It's an Alley Way Stamps BLOG HOP!



WOOHOO!!! It's The Alley Way Stamps Blog Hop time!!! Did you hop here from Kasia's blog?  If not, you might want to start back at the beginning to really see the awesomeness of this month's release.  I used the amazing new background set, Stack 'Em High, for my card...the zig-zag/diamond/argyle pattern is so much fun!

I used this week's Retrosketches and used the negative technique for my leaves:


And this week's Colour Q was PERFECT for a CAS flower and leaves (and I'll throw my hat into the ring for the open DT call):
