All I have to do is put a graduation cap somewhere in the front… Read More »

Good Morning Crafters! Hope you had a wonderful weekend because we sure did! Anytime the Razorbacks win (University of Arkansas), it’s a good weekend. 🏈🏈🏈 The neighbor down the street had a baby boy and I pulled out the retired Wildly Adorable Stamp Set – this is one of the cutest sets Stampin’ Up! ever but I guess it wasn’t very popular because it only lasted one year.
