“Boy, was she old.” by Judi Kauffman for The Queen’s Ink

On my last trip to The Queen’s Ink I picked up a stamp that made me laugh out loud right in the store - a quirky saying from RubberMoon: I want my tombstone to say, “Boy, was she old.” (You know how it goes...some stamps shout Take Me Home Right Now!)

That same day I picked up the Elizabeth St. Hilaire set called “Peacock Collection,” stamps I’ve been using a lot lately, as well as “MUSE,” a super versatile little word that has been working its way into many projects. For today’s projects* I used these images plus other RubberMoon stamps from my ever-growing collection.
