I made nearly 40 cards this weekend. They aren't fancy but I think they turned out pretty good and they were quick! I know...you're thinking, how could they be quick with all that coloring? These are the type of images that I stamp a bunch of and take with me when I travel. I color them on the plane and then when it's time to make some cards I have a bunch of images all ready to go! Sometimes it's nice just to stamp and mass produce and not worry so much about the design and creativity part! See you later with some more mass productions to share!
