What's Cooking in the Kitchen?

Today is a big day for Kitchen Sink Stamps with 4 brand new sets being released. Two of the sets are ocean related: Ocean Waters Multi Step Clear Stamps and Deep Sea Marlin Multi Step Clear Stamps.  The other two may just inspire you to get started on your holiday cards. They are Figure Skates Multi Step Clear Stamps and Big & Bold Christmas Greetings Clear Stamps.

And, of course, it is the second Monday which means I had the opportunity to work one of them into this week's Let's Make a Scene design. I think it makes the perfect January birthday card for my "way up north" friend.
