I am still keeping my fingers crossed that I will make her design team.. so wish me luck!

Third ... I particapated in the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Virtual Crop and had a blast!

I made a bunch of cards with her digital Stamps (alot were freebies! Gotta love freebies!)

I also bought a few sets from her one of which is the Alice in Wonderland set which is beautiful... I have some of those printed but haven't made anything yet with them.. so they should be coming soon!

Anyway here is a few things I made during the virtual crop
