Guest Star Sarah Jane Dowsett!

Today we welcome Sarah Jane Dowsett to the Inspiration Blog! Welcome SJ!

SJ really has mad stamping skills, doesn't she? We love the way she's created her own patterned paper with the new Cabbage Flower Stamp. And how clever is she to "thread" her pearl button with a permanent marker?

This next layout featuring the new "Haven" line has such a lovely serenity about it. Gorgeous!

Thanks for the inspiration SJ!
