Balloon Flight

Whimsy Stamps is the sponsor this week at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends. I had also received the Penguin Flies Digi Stamp, so I decided to use it along with my new Center Step Card Die and my Center Step Card Super Set Die Set by The Stamp Doctor.

You may or may not know that I'm really bad at math and also really, really bad at 3D space relations. When I found the Center Step Card Dies by The Stamp Doctor, I had to get the complete package. This set has dies for everything you might need to create a multi-layered Center Step Card, without hurting your brain trying to figure everything out! Best of all, it's on sale now!
