Such cute set!!It's hard to find mens shoes or a comfy chair like that!1
What a fun set!! Great for masculine cards!
This is a great mans set with everyday things. Love it.
I was on an artist's blog yesterday and she'd used your stamp with the baby nestled on the moon to make a card. I immediately fell in love with the card and the stamp and luckily she credited Flourishes for the stamp. That's how I found you! Your stamps are great and it's fun to have found you right in the middle of your new releases.
Cheers,
Colleen
I like the comfy chair and shoes in this set. Thanks for the chance to win!
