I have a confession. There are stamp sets in my collection that I’ve never used! I know! It’s hard to believe. So, in order to help me focus on things I love rather than things I fear, I decided to see what sets I hadn’t used yet. The My Meadow Stamp Set was on the top of my list of ‘must haves’ when the 2020 January to June mini catalog came out. But…I never found the time to use it.

That made the My Meadow Stamp Set the perfect choice for this week’s Crafty Saturday! I really wanted to get a feel for this set and decided to use the same basic design three different ways. There’s something for everyone today from the beginner stamper to the most avid and seasoned crafter. Which one do you like best? Be sure to leave me a comment below.

Won’t you come join me for Coffee & Cards with Michelle at 8 am on Monday morning as we learn how to use this amazing set together.
