Paper and Ink

It seems lately that I have turned into a paper and ink girl. My ribbons and buttons and jewels are beginning to feel a little neglected, but I just can't seem to help myself. In addition to allowing the fabulous Kitchen Sink images to have center stage is the bonus of saving the extra 20¢ postage!

With the weather finally warming up around here and the air conditioner back in high gear, I felt drawn to create a little seaside fantasy. I hope you enjoy today's designs.  (Post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps).
