I told you I would post the cards from my stamp-a-stack so today I am posting the first of 4 cards. Tomorrow is the Tour de Freak and Saturday is the Our Creative Corner challenge so I won’t post card #2 until Sunday or Monday. Be sure to check back tommorrow for the Tour and Saturday for the OCC Challenge!
