Hi Stampin' Friends For today's card, I used Papaya Collage, Apothecary Art and French Foliage Stamp Sets. Usually I think of soft muted colors when I think of Shabby Chic, but I decided to go outside the box and make the card shabby chic but use bright bold colors. What do you think? Do you like it? I love the French Foliage stamp set and will be using it more… Read More »

I made mine more springlike with soft colors. The sentiment is the Thank You Kindly Stamp Brush Set. Using MDS2 (love that program!!!), I was able to color in the individual… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends Wisteria Wonder is a beautiful color and I decided to use it for today's card.

I was… Read More »
