I Spy YNS Saturday – Winter Home

Hello Everyone!

There are so many wonderful Your Next Stamp creations out there! We have fun browsing blogs and galleries and seeing all the projects that YOU create!

This week’s “I Spy” YNS Saturday features a tag created by our January Release special guest Francine, of the blog “1001 Cartes“.

Photo_Blog_415aa-1000
Francine used the YNS set Winter Home to create a background for the tree with raccoon popping out (raccoon stamp is from another stamp company). What a way to combine stamps! Be sure to check out Francine’s blog to see more of her amazing tags.

Your creation could be featured here next week!

Happy Stamping!
