PIO Challenge #18 - Time to Travel

Hi everyone! Welcome to one more amazing Sunday, here with us at Pile It On! This week we have a brand new sponsor, one that we all admire between the design team members here at Pile It On! Sparkle Creations {rubber stamps}, they were so amazing and generous! All samples this week from the DT are using their amazing rubber stamps! I must say from my own experience that I haven't seen such a crisp stamped image in some time! These stamps are not your flimsy stamps you see around while trying to cut down costs, these are thick red rubber. They have an outstanding quality to them, so if you haven't tried it, this is your chance because we have a coupon for 10% off on her stamps! Use code: 10PILEIT
Make sure you check their challenge for another chance to win. This week's winner here at PIO will get an amazing rubber stamp from Sparkle Creations {rubber stamps}.
