A CLASSIC IN THE COUNTRY
We have a classic in the country for this card. I decided that I needed more masculine-themed stamp sets so got Country Livin’ and Guy Greetings to round out my collection. This card shows off a classic which can be a pretty common sight up here in north-eastern BC. This image just cries out to […]

YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING
Good day and I think that you are Simply Amazing. This card is directed to you, my clients who help me to keep on stamping! The Cottage Greetings stamp set made it into the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue so I went to work with it. The flower images are tiny and each was stamped with […]
