Have no fear as this has nothing to do with a significant other but rather with a favorite Stamp/Set/Item that you will never ever ever ever part with.
Here is my cherished Godspeed set from Stampin' Up:
This set came out when DH was in Iraq so this holds a very special place in my heart. I loved the way the soldier was drawn as he blurs the lines of ethnicity. I used the current layout from Sweet Sketch Wednesday, my distressing tool, as well as the script Cuttlebug folder.
And see this embellishment?
It's the actual clay heart that I gave to DH before he deployed. There is this wonderful lady in WA who hand makes these for the soldiers, they keep it in their pockets as a reminder of home. Awww! I guess this did turn into a mushy Valentine after all!
Now come on over to Raise The Bar with us! Let's see what your all time favorite stamp set/item is and tell us your story. You could be the next Guest Bar-Tender to join us the following week!
