Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!
Welcome March, it's almost spring! Alberta has been getting warmer than usual weather this winter without a lot of snow. I'm just hoping Mother Nature doesn't throw us a curve ball. I don't mind a bit more snow though, we will need the moisture to saturate the farmer's fields.
Onto my card for this week's Krafty Chicks Challenge : Stamp Act. As long as something is stamped, be it an image or a sentiment, it qualifies for the Stamp Act challenge.
Another Throwback Thursday kind of card. I am going to go alphabetically in my retired stamp set cabinet. Then hopefully I can purge of a few, I have way to many on the keep side and let's not count how many on the sell side. The Animal Outings stamp set also comes with coordinating dies, which I didn't use. I didn't want a white border so I fussy cut my kangaroo and used the black marker around the edges trick to help cover my no so straight cutting. There's also matching DSP, but my retired stash (call me a curator at this point) is so big, I didn't have the time to look for it, I just picked what was on top that would work.

- Animal Outing stamp set: retired
