Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Back to School

Thursday, 10 August 2023

Time for the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the world who participate each month to share projects we are working on. Our theme this month is "Back to School".

When I saw the sentiments in the Stampin' Up! Reach for the Stars Stamp Set, back to school and great achievements came to mind. What could be better than sending someone off to school with an astronaut reaching for the stars as inspiration! The Designer Series Paper for this suite is amazing! Check out this fun card I made in Night of Navy and Berry Burst.
