Just a quick share today!  I saw this stamp in the newest WPlus9 release and I had to have it...when it arrived yesterday I was able to make time to break out my watercolors and play!

Hero Arts Stamp Your Own Fruit www.allthesparkle.com

So I've been playing with the new Hero Arts products and I LOVE them!  I didn't have much time in my craft room today but I was able to pull together this fun little card!
