African Adventures

 A Postage Collage layout with an African theme . . .

My friend Sandy loves all things African, so this will be her birthday card for this year.

One of the things I love about the Waffle Flower Postage Collage collection is that I am putting scores of tiny stamps to work for the first time ever.  I have acquired a bunch of Waffle Flower’s themed stamp collections for their Postage Collage sets and they are wonderful.  But I‘m also very happy to put many of my own tiny stamps into play – once I dust them off, that is . . .
