messystampinsanity papercraft with sharon scalzi

Is it Stamp Insanity? or Stampin Sanity? I chose this name because both apply to me! Sometimes I am absolutely INSANE with my stamping - other times, I must stamp to stay SANE! Whichever it may be, I am always MESSY! I have been stamping since I joined SU! in 1998 and have never, ever gotten bored or tired of it. There is always some new technique or embellishment or tool to use and I just can't stop! I hope to be able to post ideas and projects often!
