Second, stippled blossoms was my very first stamp purchase from Brandy Cox in Stampin Up but many thousands of dollars later, guess what,??? I got so excited to buying stamps that I still have not used to stippled blossoms, ,, but now I see yours and I'm going to get that well used and loved stamp by Brandy Cox a try.

In addition to the positive effect that creative time offers, as you point out, even your unfinished creations can bring joy and inspiration to others. Also, if you never start something you will never finish anything. Lots of starts are bound to result in at least some completions, which adds to a sense of accomplishment.BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471276036988566338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-61395686446010424652016-07-01T08:23:12.897-05:002016-07-01T08:23:12.897-05:00Lydia- this is just the most beautiful rose ever! ...Lydia- this is just the most beautiful rose ever! Your creative style is just amazing to me. Thank you for encouraging us all to be better artist. I definitely have this problem especially with challenges and when I paint.
