Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps May Release waltz! Many thanks for the sweet comments over the past 3 days :) Today, all three of the following sets: Half Pint Heroines, Compact Family and Compact Sentiments part 2 are now available for purchase in the Waltzingmouse Stamps on line store. You should have arrived from Belinda's blog, if not you can head on over to Claire's blog where the celebration began and for complete details.

I combined sentiments from Compact Sentiments part 2 and Half Pint Heroines with ALL homemade flowers using Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and Rose Creations dies. Both stamp sets are packed with versatile images and sentiments!
For sketch inspiration, I played along with Creative Scrappers:
