June SheetLoad Showcase - A Parade of Cards

Edited to add: Please make sure your link goes directly to the post with the card using June's layout and $ stamps.

For this month's SheetLoad Showcase we will be trying something a little different. Instead of SheetLoad readers submitting their cards for a Showcase at the end of the month, we are going to have a month-long parade of cards.

All you have to do is enter the link to your card that uses the June SheetLoad layout, AND some of those $ stamps we have all been hoarding, in the box below.

Get to marching! :)
