WMS July Blog Waltz

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps July Blog Waltz! Six new stamp sets are available now in the store!

If you're waltzing along with us, you should have come here by way of Bonnie's blog. If you just happened to stop in, the fun starts with Claire on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog. My dear friend Julia is the next stop after me; her blog is linked up again below.

As usual, prizes are also up for grabs for two lucky commenters! One winner will be randomly chosen from the comments left on one of the Design Team blogs, the other will be chosen from the comments left on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog. So let us know what you think of the new release! The contest ends at 11:59 pm EST Saturday, July 3rd. Winners will be announced on the WMS Blog on Sunday.

I couldn't resist the pull of Rescue Remedies!

'Twas fate that brought this project together! First I found the adorable purple plaid tin at Michaels. And then I found this ridiculous (as in ridiculously delicious) recipe for Brownie Pillow Cookies from Bakerella. Then, of course, there was a label for Hand-Baked Goods in the Rescue Remedies set. I couldn't ignore the signs any longer!

I stamped my label in Perfect Plum and used Off Beat Backgrounds to create a plaid pattern to mat my tag. I added some flower accents and a strip of felt.

You're waiting for a peek inside, aren't you?

Yum. These will certainly stimulate the appetite, but I'm not sure what tone they will give to the stomach!

Thank you so much for visiting today - Julia is your next stop along the waltz. Have a great day!
