Autumn Splendor Redux
Yikes, posting two days in a row! Can you stand it? I actually have some truly beautiful fall samples to share and they are easy to boot! This card is with exactly the same set and designer paper as yesterday's card but with different designs from it and a vertical layout. Again, I used the Autumn Splendor stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog, the Autumn Meadows designer series paper ... View Post

This is part of my neverending disappointment at being born into working class... and not having the good sense to at least marry into it <big sigh>, ;-) . So, I finally got the excuse to play with it for my Stamp a Stack last night where we made this simple ... View Post
