New {Stamps} are in the house!

Yesterday's mail arrived and with it some new toys! Assorted stamp sets from
The {Stamps} of Life were delivered. I've been eying these stamps for a while now, even before meeting Stephanie at CHA when she came by the Scor-Pal booth. When I saw the newest flower set, Thanks2You (not this set) I knew I had to get my hands on them! This card uses their debut set Back2Basics. I love that the circles fit punches I have owned for a long time!

Anyway, I combined a couple of SCS challenges for this card, the Color Challenge 261 and the Ways to Use it Challenge 261

Circle punches, ribbon, along with a simple and clean layout fit exactly what I was going for when I started this morning.

I know I am going to have fun with these stamps!
