Critters Or Insects Theme!
Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! It’s Critters or Insects for the month of March for Creatively Simple!
The critter I used today is from the Bee My Valentine stamp set and Bee Builder Punch. Isn’t he cute?
I decided to make my bee white & blue and coordinated some of the cardstock and designer paper colors too:
