This is such a great stamp. It was originally designed in 2000 and they’ve re-released it as a “Hero Arts Classic.” I used the latest sketch (#209) from Card Positioning System (CPS). This may be the last card in my first shipment to Operation Write Home. I will be sending cards out in the next day or two. Thanks for checking-in.
