The August Stamp of the Month for The Stamps of Life was "snails2mail". I made two cards with this cute set. There are lots of possibilities with this little snail, but I decided that my first card would be a get-well card, and the second one, a birthday wish. I paper pieced both snails. Cute, huh?
