How about we pull out the one stamp set that made me swoon when I flipped through the very first catalog I ever saw. Oriental Brushstrokes.

A paper crafter by nature is a paper lover and more than not a paper hoarder. Every so often you come across items you just have to have…in my case Lark Crafts paper books from Sterling Publishing: For the Love of Paper. Today, I used a sheet from the Botanicals collection.
