New Laurel Burch Stamps from Stampendous

Not every day do I allow cats in my home, well not ever if I can help it. One of us in the family has an allergy, so we've stayed away from having furry felines as pets yet once we were unfortunate to have an actual cat burglar in our home for a few seconds. Our mini dachshund ran into it in the middle of the night, and I'm not sure who was more afraid of the meeting, but we haven't had a cat step foot in the house otherwise. Until Stampendous sent me these amazingly fun cats by the artist Laurel Burch.

There are so much more fabulous stamps from the art of Laurel Burch available from Stampendous you MUST stop by and see them all. I hope they continue this new line they are so much fun to color! 

There is MORE Laurel Burch to see! Make sure you see today's post on the Stampendous Blog for great information on this new fabulous product line plus a few of my teamies are sharing projects they made with some Laurel Burch goodies.
