INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

I very rarely have time to participate in the Inspirational Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. So it was nice to be able to play along today.

I was inspired by this Four Squares Cookie HERE.

I used new stamps for October from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS called Year Round Bitties.

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps ~ Year Round Bitties, Hearfelt Sentiments

Paper: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Whisper White

Ink: Momento Black
