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.

Today I am sharing a layout featuring my dear husband Scott in a photo that was taken while we were vacationing in Athens, Greece :) 
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:
