What's new at The Loft - Episode 33

Welcome Back!

Twenty years ago when I was in college I was exposed to so many wonderful and creative things.  One of which was stamp carving.  Back then the stamps I carved were small and extremely simple in design, so when I recently took up stamp carving again I tried some designs that were a bit more complex.   Here are some of the stamps I've carved recently.

ATC 3.6.5 Challenge

I can't believe we are already half way through September already, and I'm still keeping up with the challenge.  I'm actually surprised myself that I have made it this far.  And even though I find myself creatively drained on some days, I am determined to see it through to the end.  So without further ado, lets try to get more caught up on the cards.
