Inkadinkado Stamping Gear fun time

My friend, Meg, thought she would like the Stamping Gear so she picked it up at a garage sale.... used it just a few times and decided it wasn't for her.  Last weekend she gifted it to me!  I'm all kinds of excited because when this thing first came out, I had to talk myself down from buying it right then & there after I saw a demo.  So glad I waited for that money saving opportunity! Today I got inky with it, me likey ;-)
