From Land to Sea

I have always loved this sweet turtle from the FROM LAND TO SEA CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET.  I am sad to see it swimming away on the 2017 Stamping' Up! retiring list.  I loved pairing it with the succulents from the LIVE, LOVE, GROW PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET, because they look like plants you'd see in the ocean.  I chose the sentiment from the KINDA ECLECTIC CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET to send off to a dear friend.   All of these sets will be retiring at the end of May 2017.  Don't delay, shop now: www.kris.stampinup.net
