You'll want to play along with us because we are being sponsored by Paper Cupcakes!!

And One lucky winner will get 2x dtigital stamps (1 of choice 1 chosen)! So, how cool is that?

Hello, my name is Nina May and I am the Owner and Artist at Paper Cupcake Stamps which is a fairly new digital stamp site. I'm a mom of 4 children and have always had the passion to draw from a very young age. I am finding this new journey full of wonderful people and a lot of hard work.  I love drawing these images and hope you will find a wide variety of stamps ranging from cute, to fun to realistic at my store. There is something there for everyone. I use to participate in this House Mouse challenge before taking on this new venture as I love the house mouse images myself. I feel honored to be on the other side and now sponsoring you today and hope you will visit my store to see all the great images that can be found there as well. http://papercupcakes-stamps.com/

AND now, here are our wonderful DT's samples to help inspire you... (special note; America is moving across the country, but will return to HM & F at the end of Summer! :)
