Caardvarks :: MFT Stamps

Hey there, Bleeps! I hope you all had a great weekend. I truly enjoyed myself with friends and family over the extended holiday weekend. It was great to spend some time at my mom's and poolside! It is REALLY scorching here in DC - over 100 degrees, so I got a little tan! :) Sorry, I don't have any extra festive pictures to share showing me chow down on Maryland crabs, but it's probably best that I didn't! :)

It's time for a new Caardvarks challenge this month. The challenge is sponsored by My Favorite Things and I created some cards using their stamps.
