Skipping Stones Design :: Guest Designer :: SSD20

Welcome to Skipping Stones Design DT Blog Hop to celebrate the release of two new stamp sets, Birthday Donuts and Whispering Wings. If you should happened upon my blog today, you'll want to go back to the beginning at Skipping Stones Design. You should have arrived from Kandi Phillip's blog.

Combined with the blog hop today, it's also Skipping Stones Sketch Tuesday, which means the Design Team is showcasing another great sketch by Kimberly Crawford. We'd love for you to play along with the sketch. Just remember to use keywords SSD020 if you upload to any online galleries or link your card at the Skipping Stones blog. They're looking for guest designers...so you never know! :)

Your next stop is Mary Giemza.
