Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here today to let you know that a NEW VIP Challenge has started over in the Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps VIP Group over on Facebook. Each month a new challenge is posted on the first of each month and runs for the entire month. One random winner is selected at the end of the challenge to WIN a SNSS stamp set of their choice!

 

This month we are challenging you with a "WATER" Theme! You just need to incorporate water in your project (raindrops, puddles, watering cans,ocean, beach, nautical stamps, etc). You can find the challenge HERE.

 

 

For my sample card I choose to use the Nautical themed stamps and pulled out the Peace Be Still stamp set to create this simple Thinking of You card. Love how the textured background makes the sailboat and sentiment pop.
