The Stamp Review Crew: Sea Turtle

Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop: Inspiring you one stamp set at a time

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday of the month.  This week we are focusing on the sea-tacular Jan-May Mini set, Sea Turtle, which is carrying over to the new Annual Catalog coming in May.  If you are following the hop in order, you have just arrived from the blog of the very talented Betty Traciak.   

Hubs is a huge turtle fan, so I can't resist any set with turtles.  It is a great set to create a fun sea collage.  Today I challenged myself to create a card combining with Sunday Stamps color challenge.
