 This wee book was made by Janet Klein and uses many of her rubber stamp images.

Janet loves making books of any size and format and made this one just like a ‘big’ book, but tiny.  It has signatures and stitches and all the ‘parts,’ but miniscule.  You can see Little Friends on the front cover, Lissi on the back, and Girls’ Stamp on the spine.  Various images are used throughout the pages.  Janet added a bit chalk and some ’scumbling’; her version of scribbling!  Thanks Janet!

Look what I found today? A fast, fun and easy make! Its our altered hello  simply stamped onto cardstock. How easy is that? Amy rubbed the same greenish-blue ink pad that she used on the stamp, across a white cloth flower. Now tell me, who wouldn’t LOVE to find this in their mailbox? Be sure to make a pretty envelope too. We have to STAMP OUT NAKED ENVELOPES!
