Blowing in the Wind
Earlier this week, I finally got my anxiously awaited latest Stampin’ Up! order and two stamp sets that I have been wanting....one of which is this one. Isn’t it cute? I’d much rather see Dandelions like this than in my yard! While I was waiting for the stamp set to arrive, I saw a new… Continue reading Blowing in the Wind

And this is… Continue reading One Sheet Wonder Is Wonderful!
