Lovely card with the unique sewing machine image and greeting...can't seem to find the stamp from your sources...is it still available?
thanks Ellen!
are you speaking of the sewing machine stamp? if so, it's available from Stampin' Up! if you have a Stampin' Up! consultant near you, you can order from them.
if that's not the stamp you speak of, let me know :-)
hugs, wendy
just adding to my previous comment - the sewing machine is from a stamp set called "Puns from the Past" by Stampin' Up!
I do have an SU! person (or two) in the area...thanks for checking the name on the stamp set. Enjoying your work every week.
