 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Zoo Friends"

 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"You May Bow"
                                                         

Today at Mark's Finest Papers, we are showing the new set called "Birds and Trees".  On my first card, I chose to make my trees brown and blue to match the paper.  On the second card,  I wanted to do something a little different with this set to show you the  versatility of this set.  I used the trees to make flowers.  I had also thought of making a wreath with them, as well.  Today brings to the end of our blog hop.  I sure hope you enjoyed and that you might have been one of the lucky winners.  Thanks, so much, for joining us.
