STAMPtember® Use A Stamp Challenge And Blog Hop

Hello! Thank you for joining me today as we celebrate STAMPtember® with our Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog Hop! And there's prizes! Today I am using the new Tim Holtz Exclusive Stamp Set.
Yes, I created a card. (These stamps are perfect for that!) But that's not all....I used the same stamp to create a fun garland to brighten up a dark corner of my craft room.




After coloring with ink and markers, I cut out the clock faces. I also cut circles from the new My Mind's Eye Papers too. After folding, I attached the circle embellishments to jute twine along with some glittered styrofoam balls. So fun to make!
