Friends Make Life Bearable

Hello all of you wonderful paper lovers!

Enjoy Ordinary Days
They who sow in tears shall reap
in joy and singing.
                PSALM 126:5

I hope you are all having a great weekend and have lots of nice things planned to do with family and friends. As for me I am going to inspire you with my latest creation.
I was going through some of my old rubber stamps and came upon these Cherished Teddies stamps. I don't think they was ever used. It gave me the perfect opportunity to try a technique I saw on the internet some time ago. I pulled up pinerest and found it again. It's called Change it Up or texturing with rags and can be found here: just4funcrafts.blogspot.com. I had a lot of fun with it, I hope you do too!
