I was on vacation last week, and you know how it is…it’s such a bummer when vacation ends. This time, however, I had a little something to look forward to…I knew that my Holiday Catalog preorder was waiting for me at home 🙂 So where to begin?! Fall? Halloween? Christmas? … Continue reading
I chose Fruit Stand designer series paper to scatter on my card. I followed the proportions of the pieces in the sketch closely, but they are enlarged because I wanted to show as much of the beautiful summery papers as possible. The peach is cut from one of the designer … Continue reading
