Sadness Flies Away on The Wings of Time {SSD Blog Hop}

Happy Friday, Folks! And it couldn't have come sooner! Well, it could have, however, it simply chose not to, so I'm just going to be happy that it is here now. K? K. Thanks.

Today we have a SPECIAL EDITION Skipping Stones Design blog hop planned for you! We always have SO much fun showing off the brand new shiny and fabulous stamp sets that sometimes we forget that we have some REALLY great older sets you should know about, too! So, today the Stamp Tramps have come together to show off some of those fantastic sets that have been in the store for awhile...but they may be new to you!!!!

If you came from Wendy's blog you must have already begun the fun! If not, you might want to HOP on over to Tammie's blog to start at the beginning!

Sadness Flies Away...


I chose to use Healing Wings, an older set, but one of my favorites! This is one of the very FIRST SSD stamps that I owned and I LOVE IT!!! The butterflies are just gorgeous and the sentiments are so beautiful! The paper collection used here is the Portrait collection from Crate Paper. It is so pretty!

Sadness Flies Away Close


Each image is stamped in chocolate ink on patterned paper and then cut and mounted only in the center to allow the wings to 'fly'. *sigh* I love butterfly stamps!

The next stop along the hop is Barb, so leave a comment here and then go visit her!

AND...because you *might* see lots of great sets along this hop that you *MIGHT* feel like you need...If you enter 31FREE at checkout at Skipping Stones Design you will get one FREE set when you purchase THREE! Did you hear that? FREE!!!!

Yup. Free makes for Happy Fridays!!!!

Here is the full list just in case you need it!

Well seeing butterflies will always get me praising God and His awesome creation!!! These butterflies, while they are paper are no less beautiful! I so love this card-kraft, patterned paper,stamps, ribbon and butterflies-just doesn't get any better than that:)
