The book features 12 detailed 2-page illustrated spreads of the different locations.… Read More »

I think I like it better this way. I've used it only once as a background and I think I'll be able to use it more often this way. The poppies were stamped with Versamark… Read More »

The sentiment is from the Layered Labels Clear Mount Stamp Set. The four-piece set coordinates with the Large Oval Punch, 1" Circle Punch, and our Apothecary Accent Framelits Dies. The image was stamped with Starfruit Classic Stampin' Pad on Whisper White… Read More »
