You guys, carving stamps is so addictive. Once I start it's hard for me to stop.  I'm a stamp carving binger and I cannot lie!!  

I have a lot of "garbage" rubber leftover from Carve December and so I've been attacking it with vigor!

These stamps are tiny — the smallest is .75" square and the largest (diamond pattern) is 1" x 1.25" — but they've got a big impact!

What are you carving from your garbage rubber?  Something good, I hope!

Thanks for stopping by!
