This month I decided to create spotlight cards...this is a fun technique that has been around for years. Basically what you do is stamp image twice then punch out sections and mount them onto second stamped image. clear as mudd, right? lol! For our last day I decided to fall back to a familar idea...bookmarks. You know what they say a picture is worth a thousand words so please check out my samples then check out what the rest of our design team has to offer this month. Hope you enjoyed all our samples for this month and remember you have to comment to be included in our drawing for free stamp set!  Next check out what Janine has done with this stamp set.
