The colours that Kristina chose this week were beautiful. I just recieved my new PTI stamps and couldn't wait to break them out and ink them up! I love, love, love them. The Stamp I used today is called 'background basics - retro', you can find it HERE. I also used 'around & about sentiments. I had to use my 'MM slice' machine (it has been sitting there unloved since christmas LOL!).
