My husband and I used to sail from Oxnard Harbor… Read More »

Country Home

Today’s card features the Country Home Stamp Set.   The images in this set remind me of countryside, lemonade, and dried flowers.

I also used the Country Floral Embossing Folder to contrast with the gingham stripes.  The images were colored using the Crumb Cake,… Read More »
