Scrap It All

Spirit Animal Stamps - a CHA fav find!

With 3/4 million square feet of crafting, it's easy to overlook something at CHA.   And so it was with this small booth.  Luckily, on my last day, I took a deep breath and saw what my eye has flittered past the days before. Theses stamps are wonderful little works of art.  Originally rendered as pen and ink drawings, the artist has now released her creations in rubber stamp form. With crisp lines and amazing detail, they are simply fabulous.   Of course, you can color in the design with your choice of medium.  But stunningly easy projects are also possible.

The makers sponsored a make n take that exemplified this.
