Once Upon a Springtime Mini Book

Hello Hampton Art fans! I, Britt Bass, have a mini book to share with you today!

Once Upon A Springtime Mini Book

Today’s project showcases some Graphic 45 – coordinated stamps. These are wonderful to use on their own, but when you combine them with the paper collections they really shine. But, the REALLY cool thing was, I was able to pull in several other sets of stamps and they all complimented the theme and paper choices.
