Macarena <\/a>is crazy about circles and leaves so she mixed up both elements and used Tim Holtz RINGS stamp<\/a> and Penny Black LIVELY die<\/a> in a negative way. She also got addicted to Distress Oxides so she used them for backgroungs.<\/p>\n

\"dsc02184\"<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> made lots of circles in her art journal with Seth Apter’s Turnaround stamps<\/a>, Spellbinders Robo Ring die<\/a>, Impression Obsession Password II by Seth<\/a>, and is spinning from all the choices.<\/p>\n
